Hello Martin

I usually get into bed at about 10, read for about 20 minutes then listen to a Sleepcast on Headspace, or similar, and fall asleep between 10:30 and 11. I generally don’t have a problem falling asleep.

You’ll probably say, as many of my friends and family have, 10:30 to 5:00 is six and a half hours sleep and that should be enough, but I usually feel exhausted and struggle to do my daily tastd, so I think I am one of those people who need eight hours.

I tried going to bed later a few weeks ago (sleep restriction) and it didn’t make me wake any later. I just got less sleep and felt worse.

Interestingly, this morning (Saturday) I woke up at 8:40. I don’t know whether my problem is to do with my medication or work stress – or both!

Correction – the medicine has sedative effects, not sensitive.
