I'm in the 5-8 hour range - most nights its about 7. When I started menopause, I could not sleep I would guess for about 2 years, waking up, not being able to fall asleep, hot flashes - did I cover everything. Thank goodness I'm back to sleeping like a baby. I start a new job Monday and I'll be working 6:30a-5p and having to get up by 5am, I'm use to getting up between 6 and
6:30a - I'll have to get to bed earlier than my 11pm usual time - I definitely function better with a good night's sleep.
