12 hours: You are in bed for 12 hours. Without a sleep study you will not know how many hours of sleep you are getting. On average most people need 7.7 hours of sleep a night. Until you have a sleep study you don't know how efficient your sleep is. I am sure you get less than 12 hours of actual sleep. Consult with a sleep physician.
