I have been hyper aware of this for the last few years. Ever since I started sleep apnea therapy I have gone a little nuts keeping track of my sleep.
Ideally I would go to bed at around 10:00pm and wake up around 6:00am. There literally aren’t enough hours in the day though so that rarely happens.
Realistically, I got to bed at 11:00pm, or even a little after. Jen has an alarm set on our Amazon Echo for 6:00, but I have one set on my Apple Watch for 5:00am. Most mornings I hit snooze for nearly an hour, but I would prefer not to. Six hours of sleep isn’t really enough, but it gets the job done for me most nights.
Checking my sleep stats from last night, I went to sleep at 11:05pm and woke up at 5:45am. I was also awake from 4:40 to 4:50am as I needed to pee. I was asleep for 6.5 hours, 74% of which was in restful sleep. My sleeping heart rate dip was 19% and my average sleeping heart rate was 52 beats per minute. My sleep distruption was 2.5%, or 10 minutes.
Like I said… I’ve been sort of hyper focused on this for about four years now.
