I’ve found that if you head to bed around 10:00 and fall to sleep around 11:00, and then wake up and move from that bed at around 2:00 a.m. to one of the guest rooms downstairs until around 5:00, then get up to drink a cup of coffee before finally falling asleep again on the sofa at around 7:30, you can manage to put together about 5 or 6 hours of sleep per night. It has to be carefully managed though.

What is your experience?

70 y/o retired. Sleep on the couch. Wake up in the middle of the night, take a leak then crawl into bed. The couch is a deeper sleep. The bed is half and half. sleep/awake Nightmares of being late for work.

Sounds very similar...

I used to sleep soundly but after a ladder fall which left my wrist shattered, and then 18 months later a Crocs incident which popped my quad tendon off of my knee cap... I’ve been sleeping pretty crappy.

I try to fall asleep by midnight... But I use the “all sleeping positions” technique .. I rotate about ever 20-40 minuets... I start on my back and roll clockwise, side, stomach, other side, back. Sometimes I sleep. Maybe I can get a few hours before getting up at 630 for some coffee and get the kids to school... only to do the sofa sleep and you stated. :)
