Sleep--need more?

[teawoman]

The more the better. I do well on 8-9 hours, but I don't always get that, so I steal afternoon naps after work or crash on the weekends as some have said.

I'm not sure why, but I am a sleeper. I go to bed by 10 most nights and have to get up at 730'ish....however, I can hit the snooze 5 - 6 times (that's an extra 9 min's each time ). I know that's not healthy, not to mention the cats and dogs hate it!!

I used to be a nanny and could nap with my kiddo's but was going to bed later due to school and late classes. Now that I'm out of school and "only" working I still need A LOT of sleep. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I work in a classroom with 8 children ages 0-3 years () and I like to workout, bike, walk the dogs, mow the lawn, work in my yard.....(yes, I enjoy mowing!!).

Anyways, I don't think there is much else you can do if your body needs more sleep. You just have to make sacrifices here and there so you get your bodies necessary amount of sleep.
