I wake up throughout every night I sleep but I generally get 10 hours, just not straight through. I go to be early. Sometimes I fall asleep quickly, sometimes I don't. But my body needs to lay down, so I lie down. I do not wake up, no matter how early I go to bed, until after 8. Part of my illness makes me sleep this way. As long as I don't toss and turn too much at night, I'm okay.
