Okay Females, How Much Sleep Do You REALLY Get?

After yesterday’s post I began thinking… how much sleep do women really get? While at work this AM I asked around and found that for most, 6 hours was a good night.
Unfortunately I am in this category. I go to bed at 11 PM with good intentions of getting 7.5 hours of sleep but between 3 kids, one who uses a nebulizer machine regularly, a snoring hubby and a head that just won’t turn “off”, I get about 5 hours nightly. Not nearly enough. Will I be the next to develop hypertension? It is a scary thought and one that women need to explore.
If you are a female reader, I want to know… how much sleep do you REALLY get? Not the, “well I get about 8 hours a night because that is what I know I should say” but the real deal. Let me in on your sleeping habits. I am really curious to see if even among us, there is a correlation between high blood pressure and lack of sleep.
