bailie,
My body seems to know when it needs more sleep to aid the healing process. At my worst I was sleeping up to 12 hours a day. Doctor thought that was good. I am currently sleeping 8 to 9 hours. I am still healing. prednisone interferes with sleep pattern so I am taking Lunesta and Melatonin which helps a lot. Before that I was getting 4 to 6 hours. Lunesta is the mildest and least habit forming of the popular sleeping pills.
I have a fitbit that monitors my sleep. It is a rough guide but seems to agree with how I thought I slept. Some nights it says that I have up to 5 hours uninterrupted sleep. Usually it is more like 3 sessions of 2 hours with other short periods.
I am still on transplant medications and recovering from GVHD. I have felt better in my life. All things considered I feel pretty good.
