Resort Sleeping!

[real mad hatter]

After reading about a member sleeping 4 to 5 hours only at his Disney resort,it suddenly dawned on me that I sleep much less whilst on my Disney vacation than at home.Now this has got me tinking ( as usual ) But do you sleep less at your Disney resort than you would at home? Now it ain't got anything to do about the comfy beds or lack of noise,but I think the sheer excitement of staying at a Disney resort puts my sleeping clock out of order.If I'am beginning to sound like a Disney therapist then I truly must apologise,but god damn it,tell me your sleeping less at your resort,or am I going round the bend.

We take it pretty easy and never plan very early mornings or late nights. We're not Extra Magic Hours utilizers or Rope-Droppers. I am, however, a ridiculously light sleeper. Between the unfamiliar bed and the fact that I wake at the slightest noise, I don't get much restful sleep at Disney World.

That's me!!! I sleep the same amount no matter where I am.

I am the minimalist, i slept on the plane there, and the plane home. Every other day it was rope drop to last call, i was not about to miss one bit of pixie dust!

I get up early to get my Disney trip in gear, go to bed late. But because I'm not at work, I do end up getting a few more hours sleep. At home I'm up early and go to bed late, so all in all I do get slightly more sleep total time. The big difference is that I dont need an alarm clock or push the snooze button or get a push to get me out of bed at Disney. Once I wake up at Disney, I'm geared up to Go, go, go.

I definitely sleep less at Disney because I'm at the parks until almost 2 am very night and then we get up pretty early to get the the park the next day. My lack of sleep isn't necessarily out of excitement, just a lack of time to sleep between running around all over The World

I probably sleep a little more on vacation. rarely do I get to be before midnight an I am up by 6 when I am home. I won' t go to be earlier although I' 'll be watching tv in bed a little earlier and I''ll get up a little later but not enough where I won' t make rope drop.

I can't wait to be on vacation to sleep, no cats to wake me, no housework, no job, DH I laugh and say we have to fly a 1000 miles for a good nights sleep. Our kids are used to the afternoon break as well, we swim, nap, eat. Then hit the parks again.

I sleep less, but I don't think it's the excitement that does it to me. DH snores and earplugs can only do so much to block out that kind of noise. At home, I can retreat to the guest bedroom if my darling chainsaw gets too loud, but I'm kind of stuck on vacay unless I want to go sleep in the bathtub (I resorted to that once while on vacay overseas). There was seriously one night on this last trip ... about 3 am ... and I seriously thought about snagging a lounge chair from the quiet pool just outside our patio, dragging it to said patio, and sleeping out there with the door cracked...ya know, just enough to hear the kids since DH could sleep through anything.

Ditto. Are our snoring husbands identical twins, cloned?

Dear Lord from heaven above I thank you for the blessed week at WDW this spring when I went solo down to visit my DS and had a silent sanctuary all unto my own at CS.

Whilst at WDW, the hubby and I get about 6 hours of sleep per night and we try to ensure that the kids get 7 hours per night, but it doesn't always work out that way. Way too much to see and do.

Sleep at Disney why bother? Just sleep at work when you get home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah.I know how to make your dream come true.Visit Dr La Cava and ask for some margarita medicine.You'll sleep like a baby and jump up early like a baby Roo.

If @real mad hatter's cure doesn't work spend a day with my troop you'll sleep for a week! Hatter's cure is much more enjoyable. How about earplugs if your not worried about rope drop!

Typically less or equal to at home but we do usually have one day about midway through where we sleep in until 9:00 or so just to recharge our batteries a bit or if we do EMH until 1AM....then sleeping in is compulsory to maintain sanity.

Reading through this thread, and thinking about it more, makes me realize that I get up and moving much quicker when I'm on vacation.

Any normal day, I might "snooze" my alarm for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on what I'm doing that day. On vacation, I'm up and ready to roll no more than a half hour after I wake up.

I def sleep less! I always could use a vacation from my Disney Vacation. I, honestly, do stop a few times a week now and take an hour nap while the kids are swimming. Then a little Disney java and I am off again! My DH hardly sleeps at all!
