Type 2 Sleeping (how Many Hours Did You Sleep Last Night?)

9 hours. Caught up on an hour's missed sleep from the night before.
 
About four and a half hours. Midnight before I got to sleep, woke up about 4.30 needing a pee and couldn't get off again!
 
About eight hours, I was woken for a while by the bright full moon shining through bedroom window at 4.20 am.
 
Eight and a half hours - caught up on another half an hour's sleep that I missed out on on Sunday
 
fell asleep 10.30pm awoke at 2 am then back to sleep until 6.30 am still no idea why i wake in the night so about 7 hours yawnsssss
 
According to my Fitbit device about 8 hours a day.
That includes a nap in the afternoon.
I am 75 so there is no pressure to get back to work.
 
About five and a half ... which is better than the four hours I've got most days this week. Don't seem able to stop from waking up early though.
 
About five and a half hours for me too last night. Less than usual but I feel ok on that. I'm going litter picking in local park this morning so Might need a nap this afternoon.
 
About six and a half, but rather fitful - dropped off about 11, up for a pee at 1.30 and then half awake from about 4.
 
9 hours, but woke twice to go to the loo. Happy days, waking for the loo usually means I will have lost a pound in the morning - and I did
 
Over 8 hours, I did wake for a while about 4am.
 
Only 7 hours. Woke early because I knew I had a busy day ahead.
 
Been away for a week, without wifi, so my sleep app not working.
But I did sleep well nearly all the time. Probably averaging 7 hours.
Certainly felt good on it - plus more activity than usual due to scampering about on hol.
One night was down to about 4 hours though - probably due to the late night dark choc intake... but I had enough sleep in the bank to barely notice. A far cry from those recent months when I was crawling through the day barely able to function and when one of the few good sleeps did nothing to rebalance the deficit.

I turn off our Wi-Fi every night, I'm not sure if this gives me a better night's sleep or not as I haven't really monitored it properly.

Makes no difference to me at all.
My parents switch their wifi off every night (and v inconvenient it is too!!! since my kindle and phone and ipad all need to sync the book I read, in bed. haha!)
And pre Magnesium Oil my sleep was terrible at their house, just as it was terrible everywhere.

Besides, almost all houses nowadays sit in an overlapping pool of wifi from other nearby houses or businesses.
When my home wifi searches for a signal, I get a choice of 5 different ones, in addition to our own secure wifi.
So switching ours off wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to me.

wifi waves are right next to radio waves on the frequency spectrum, and we are bombarded with them 24/7
 

I was a transmitter engineer for the best part of thirty year and then I worked on Linacs that had more high power RF in the circuits.
Radio and TV RF's are at very low levels by the time they reach one's house and TV and radio receivers are far more sensitive than Wifi equipment and smart phones. What does slightly concern me is our kitchen micro wave disrupts the Wifi signal whilsts it's on!

The radiation regulations for non-ionising radiation hazard level used to be, if I remember correctly, 200 Volts/metre but it depended on frequency, but I wouldnt stand right in front of a radar scanner.
At one place I worked at the high power transmitters lit fluorescents tubes unconnected to a electric circuit in the adjacent store.

Balance as always:
I wouldnt worry about wifi, but I wont rest a mobile phone on my chest next to my pacemaker.

It al depends on the signal strength and perhaps the modulation pattern if it can interfere with implanted or exterior medical device.

Small children need extra care and I couldnt imagine putting a wifi hub next to a babies cot or head.
The signal strength is inversely proptional to distance squared.

But please don't dry the small dog in the micro wave!

D.
