Do you feel you sleep enough?

Something I always tend to do is focus on how much I tend to sleep, even to the point where I will track my sleep to see how I am sleeping and if there is anything I can do to better my sleep.

At the moment, I will admit, my sleep is not the greatest, and I do get a lot of broken sleep, but I also feel that it is due to the pain I suffer due to my fibromyalgia.

Do you feel you sleep enough?

My sleep really depends on how my thyroid hormones are. Right now, I think I'm getting too much medicine because I've been awake too late at night even though I know I'm really tired and want to sleep. Tomorrow I think I'll skip that pill and see if it helps.

I try to always get 7-8 hours sleep most nights but sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like I haven't slept that much. When I was on some sleep meds I would wake up and just be a grumpy mess for the day. I find it extremely hard on a Sunday and Monday morning as my partner goes to work early so I get woken to their alarm and have a real tough time trying to get back to sleep.

I think I sleep enough, I sleep 7 hours at night and take 20-30 minutes nap in the day. Sometimes if I cannot get enough sleep at night, I sleep little 30-60 minutes in the day time
