57 and the same situation.

I am 57 and dont have any health issues at all other than being a fat arse right now.

I sleep a maximum of 5 hours a night and have for 30 damn years. I just cant sleep. I dont know why and I am tired of fighting it

If all I can sleep is 5 hours a night, then that is what it shall be. Just sick of trying to figure it out

I sleep like a baby for 7-8 hrs most nights thankfully, other than having to take a leak at 3am. Every once in awhile I have difficulty getting back to sleep good after that.

I sleep about 8 hrs per night. 10-6. Plus I take a cat nap for about 15 min around 2.

49 yo and I lift heavy weights almost everyday day at the gym.

If you aren’t sleeping well trying getting more exercise.

I sleep 1 hour at a time lately, then I have to pee again. Sometimes when I get up in the morning and need a hot shower for nausea I will pee before stepping into the shower, then the shower triggers a 2nd time and sometimes before I get out a 3rd.(I drink a lot of hot tea for my stomach)

. Go get your prostate checked. I had prostate cancer two years ago and I was having to go a lot. Seriously get it checked, they caught mine through blood work

Got a solid 8 last night. Feels great and is worth it.

5-7 with 3-4 stops to the bathroom to pee

Sorry to hear, and I understand your situation. I had to get back on Ambien, and that bothers my ego. Some work shite is currently driving me nuts. But it does help in the short term.

My sleep app - AutoSleep - using iWatch. It is detailed and can help you spot trends. For example, I was asleep for 6:56 hours last night with 4:52 of quality sleep. When not using Ambien, I take Magnesium Glycenate (sp?), no food or water within an hour of putting my head on a pillow. I also read for about an half hour with no computer use an hour before bed. I work out with resistance training 4 days a week and am 52.

Sleep is CRITICAL. Our hormones are produced/managed while we sleep especially testosterone. Little sleep, less testosterone production. If you read up on it, testosterone is critical for almost everything. Also, read up on all the crap in food and in plastics that attacks testosterone. You will feel better and spend more time in the gym if you dump that crap.

I work night shift 3-4 times a week, but flip my schedule every time to spend time with the family. I usually get around 6-7 hours, but would love to get to 8 hours. I supplement with magnesium, melatonin, gaba, and l-theanine.

Solid 5.5-6 and it has been like that since I was a child. Close my eyes and I'm out.

4-7 and not for lack of trying. I’m 43.

The sleep hygiene thing is largely bullshite for me. I often sleep longer when I just fall asleep watching something on tv. If I fall asleep around midnight I’ll often sleep straight until 5/6. When I’m making a conscious effort to do all the right things, I sleep less

I can fall asleep pretty easy but I wake up no less than twice every night when I go to bed at 10-11. Usually 3-4x. A lot of it is when I roll to my side and my hand goes numb from laying on my shoulder with arm up in my sleep, especially in second half of night.

I lift 5 days a week and do cardio 3x. Walk 10-15k steps at my job daily so it’s not for lack of activity.
