sleepysheep··on Do we really need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night?
I understand how difficult that can be.

I suffer from nocturia (diagnosed as non pathological after many rounds of tests all turning up negative). In a typical night I get five hours max of contiguous sleep and have started sleeping (by that I mean the in bed duration) nine to ten hours as an attempt to compensate for not being able to stay asleep.

I've always been curious about the difference between time spent in bed and actual time in deep sleep and their equivalence (or exchange factor).

Have you also resulted in increasing how long you are in bed to compensate?

Also for anyone with an Android phone that is interested in tracking sleep the app Sleep As Android is really great.https://sleep.urbandroid.org/
