I sleep 7-8. I’m older and that may be a reason but I used to sleep 10 on the same dose. Added regular exercise and I sleep 8 max. Sometimes I have a twenty minute nap through the day so you can add that on but that was the simple thing that changed me sleeping lots.

3 - 4 hrs for me. Combo of bad back, bad dreams, and middle age.

I used to sleep 16 hours on clozapine. Then I went to 12-13 hours on Invega. Now I’m still on Invega but I force myself to get up at 7:40, so I sleep around 9 hours. I have a bit bigger eye bags now, but for the rest I’m fine.

Set an alarm and force yourself into a routine. I get up at 5am everyday. I’m usually up before the alarm. I go to bed from 6-8 pm but read for a while so it differs everyday but getting up isn’t a change. It’s up no matter what even if I need a nap later.

I’ve taken APs that have made me sleep all day and all night. It was so hard to keep my eyes open.

Now I’m on Haldol and I get around 8 hours of sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night every day for a couple hours. Then I go back sleep for a few hours. I’m total, I get about 8 hours

I usually need about 10 to feel good. I haven’t been getting that lately, which is probably why I feel lousy.

I need 8 hours to feel good. Used to be like a zombie with 200 MG of quetiapin and 10 hours of sleep. Now when I’m on 25 mg I feel much better and nerd much less sleep

I need 9.5 hours of sleep every night to feel good. And more is better than less for me.
