How much sleep did you get last night?

[grasswire]

About three hours for me. And I'm 3,000 miles away from it all.

Geezus.

[kelliekat44]

1. 2hrs

[TwilightGardener]

2. I made the crucial mistake of getting sucked in to the story around 11 pm or so.

Wish now I had just gone to bed, but I can't NOT watch a train wreck happen.

[KittyWampus]

12. Me too, had to break out the Xanax. Note to self> TURN. IT. OFF.

You can care and the planet will still be there in the morning.

[CountAllVotes]

25. yeah me too

Was up 1/2 the night before.

My husband told me that he had a nightmare last night and that someone was banging on the front door and when he opened it there was a man standing there with a revolver in HIS FACE!

Sweet sh*t guns are aren't they?

[AndyA]

3. I got plenty of sleep, went to bed after the weather report on the 10:00 pm news

I was stunned to see the headlines on msn.com when I got online this morning. Took a second to sink in, as I hadn't even had coffee yet. Came straight to DU to get the facts.

I would have never guessed so much would happen so quickly!

[longship]

4. Finally went to the sack at sunrise. ;) nt

[TDale313]

5. Same here. But luckily I'm off today. n/t

[Fumesucker]

6. Went to bed about 1:30 I think, up at 7:00 or so

Not far off my normal hours really.

[uppityperson]

7. A good amount. Shut it off early, figuring would see in the morning vs obsess as usual.

[bike man]

8. About 9 hours, less the short time it took to help my invalid dog to go outside for

a brief visit with nature.

[frogmarch]

9. I lost the police scanner transmission at

around 2 a.m., and then I watched msnbc for another hour and fell asleep watching it. My pups got me up at 6:30 a.m. because they had to pee in the worst way and couldn't open the outside door by themselves. zzzzzzzz

[AsahinaKimi]

10. don't ask.. as

I will be taking a nap later!!!

[NightWatcher]

11. Went to bed early, before it all started.

[House of Roberts]

13. Seven hours from 9pm to 4am,

got up, caught up on the story, slept another hour and a half after that.
No Nicole Sandler today, so I waited for Ed Schultz, and the Boston story is all he's talked about too.

[marlakay]

14. Saw something online at midnight pt after Stephens show

So made mistake of turning on news and felt like I was watching a chase scene from a movie for 4 hours. Finally turned it off and went to sleep at 5. Got a big 4 hrs sleep.

Major towns don't just get closed down like this.

I just keep thinking all the people working on Immigration reform this morning must be thinking now it won't pass for a long time...what a shame!

[Nay]

15. I slept well--but then, I'm not in Boston. The time I had trouble sleeping (for weeks)

was after Newtown. I still lie awake sometimes, thinking about those poor babies and their brave teachers.

[northoftheborder]

16. Went to bed at usual time, did not turn on TV after going to high school play.

Glad I did that, because now obsessed with coverage even though nothing is happening. May watch a movie.

[Incitatus]

17. about 9 hours nt

[RebelOne]

28. Me too.

I turned off the news at 10 pm and slept until 6:30 am. I figured that if there were any new developments, they would be on the morning news.

[hfojvt]

18. but did you have this earworm?

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Five hours...

I need to...we are on alert for fire conditions. Can't go cover that with no sleep

So yup, listening to local scanner.

I need to go get some groceries....

Fun

[CTyankee]

20. I don't get much sleep at night as it is, due to my advanced age.

I tend to fall asleep early in the evening, wake up 4-5 hours later and go online and then try for sleep again about an hour and a half later. Then I sleep until 6.

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. I used to think it was "weird" to sleep in shifts.

Then I retired and after a bit got older and guess what?
Shift sleep.
Half of it is due to thunderstorms during the night, which make the dog run around the house barking like mad
until I wobble af er him and shut him up.
Last night went to bed at midnight, dog/storm got me up at 4 am!!!!
So I checked out DU, and found what I had missed.......
Yikes.....

[Warpy]

21. I got to bed about 2, had the tube on for a while

listening to the cable news people tripping over their tongues, don't know what time I conked out. I woke up early for me, about 10:30, tuned in just in time to hear the tail end of the uncle's interview. Poor guy, I feel so sorry for him and I hope it blows over quickly for him.

So I suppose I had at least 7 hours, quite probably more.

The only reason I got to bed that early is because it's freezing in here, we got 3 days of winter after 3 weeks of late spring.

[Autumn]

22. Went to bed at about 11 after I caught the report

about the shooting at the store. Saw FBI on screen and told my Husband, they got them, slept like a baby. I got to say, the police and FBI effort on this just fucking rocks. They got it all together.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

23. 2 hrs

had a meeting at 3 pm PDT. Got out of meeting and returned to my office. Got on the web and found a link to the BPD scanner and followed through Reddit (great job, btw).

Listened to the feed in the car through my phone, got home, turned it on my laptop while following Reddit.

It was apparent early on something was up with the MIT officer down and the carjacking. None of the major news outlets was covering any of this.

As the fit hit the shan later, about midnight PDT, finally major outlets started reporting and it was hilarious because all the information they were providing was already discussed on Reddit much much earlier.

I finally went to sleep at about 3 a.m. PDT. Got up at my regular time of 5:30 a.m. PDT - listened to the BPD feed (which eventually got cut by order of the BPD), checked more updates on Reddit and went to work at my time - 7 a.m. PDT.

Still following on Reddit and DU of course, but not BPD feed because of the gag order.

I would say this is a very surreal sequence of events that Hollywood screenwriters would never devise in a million years.

[LeftInTX]

24. I was following the story, but it was so darn confusing.

I went to bed around 1:30. I figured if the MIT guys were the marathon bombers, they would have an answer in the morning.

[d_r]

26. four hours

but it had more to do with local stuff keeping me up until 1 and then the dog having a seizure at 5.

[City Lights]

27. Maybe 30 minutes here and 30 minutes there.

I'm pooped.

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. My usual 8. I went to bed at 9 PST. n/t

[applegrove]

30. I kept trying to go to sleep, get sleepy, then I'd check on the state of the hunt and wake

myself up again. Stayed up until 5AM.

[Chan790]

31. 10.5 hours.

11:30PM-9AM. Heck of a wake-up surprise. One dead...one I don't expect to survive the day. That's a ways from where we were when I went to bed.

[Arctic Dave]

32. Slept like a baby.

Of course I haven't really been following the story.


Busy remodeling the bathroom. Listen to the 90's music channel all day yesterday.

[Denzil_DC]

33. Not enough.

Then when I did go to bed, it all kicked off for real.

There's a lesson in there somewhere, I guess.

[treestar]

34. I slept OK

When I got up, and since then, I've been listening to the news whenever I can though.

[Marrah_G]

35. First good nights sleep all week

And I missed half of what happened...doh.

I've been really sick all week and finally bought some nyquil yesterday. I crashed for 12 hours last night

[dkf]

36. "Slept" in front of the tv.

I have no idea how many hours that was.

[AngryAmish]

37. 7.5

The night before I was up at 4 am fighting water in my basement. Went to bed early, woke up at 4:30 to take a wizz, turned on the radio, uh oh!

[XemaSab]

38. I slept from 3:30 to 6:30 AM

And I'm in California.

This is GRIPPING.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

39. Same here

I didn't shut the TV off at all but fell asleep on the couch at about 4:30 AM Pacific time and woke up a little after 7:00 with MSNBC still on

[Blue_Roses]

40. About three and I feel it.

I live in Texas--not far from the explosion, so I guess I am pretty sleep deprived about now.

[seabeyond]

41. around four. i hit my snooze a couple times. feeling it now, lol. nt

[Zorra]

42. 7 hrs. Woke up thinking about how anyone could be so completely arrogant as to

believe that they have some kind of fucking right to just go out and blow up anyone they want to anytime please.

[Rowdyboy]

44. 4am to 10:00am and I feel like hell with company coming for dinner....

Thank God its just burgers

[Tx4obama]

45. Slept from 6am to 8am then from 10am to noon. n/t

[ChangeUp106]

46. Zero

I have been up since I heard of a carjacking around 10:30.

[Amonester]

47. Get enough sleep DUers: lack of it could be harmful in the long run.

I was just falling asleep reading GD around 04:00 EDT

So I turned it off and got up around 11:00 EDT

Not worth harming health conditions.
