How many hours of sleep do you get nightly?...

I have been reading an article in today's paper that says an new study is finding that Hypertension can be stopped by smply getting at least 7 hours of sleep if not more nightly. Then it goes on to tell the other things it seems to help alleviate if you get more sleep. How many hours do you ususally get and is it solid sleep or dreaming?,,,,

Hello Paul! It's good to see you.

I get 5-6 each night..sometimes less.  I wake up a lot during the night!

(psst..Hey Bob...ever sail near Glen Cove, NY?)

I use to do that when I was young also, up at 4 am, and into bed by 11 pm if I was lucky..sometimes I'd be up 24 hours straight if one of my employees didn't show up on the night crew...working an double shift. But I had college classes back then after I got home from work, and played housewife in the afternoons, and we belonged ot an travel club with the Elks lodge that took up entire weekends. Now I try to get more sleep but sometimes I'm up most the night long with either "coasttocoast",  animals, my health, or kids coming out because they cant' sleep, you do understand ..an crack between the bed and wall might let spiders through to get you in the middle of the night dont' you? Last night I had bad leg cramps and they took thier own sweet time leaving this morning.I had an doctor tell me when I was younger I was not taking care of myself properly and needed more sleep, but tell others that when they mess up your scheduling for one reason or another. So goes...
