Last year had bad insomnia... coming out of it. Now getting 5 to 7, sometimes 8 per night, just depends. Last year it was like 2 to 4.

Edit: I figured out the root cause of my sleep issues. Also, learned a *lot* along the way about fight/flight, amygdala response, etc.

no doubt, it's like anything, with studies to show either direction. There's no one size fits all when it comes to sleep and health.

I can’t seem to sleep more than 5.5 hours. This started some time after working from home.

This is not surprising. This is one root cause of sleep issues for me... I found out (anecdotally) that social isolation can cause a "low level" fight/flight response, which can cause sleep disruption. I've seen articles mentioning this as well.

Usually, 8 hours

9-5

Sometimes a little more or less but that’s a solid avg for me

I slept a solid 10 hours night before last (aided by Delta 9). I had tons of energy and felt better than I have in years. The draw back, it was hard to go to sleep last night.

I'm usually in bed between 9-9:30 and get up at 3:30.

Same here. Two nights in a row with 10 hours sleep compared to 6-7 hrs normally. My thinking and clarity are off the charts with the additional sleep. For me, it's easy to do being Winter time, nasty, dark outside.

Around 6 hrs, doesn't matter is I go to bed at 8 or midnight. I wish I could sleep longer but when I wake I up, rarely am I able to go back to sleep.

Bed by 7:00 up at 3:45. Usually wake up and read at midnight. So about 7 or 8.
