Finally! I figured this one out easily and I haven’t had coffee yet! A lifetime of insomnia and staring at the alarm clock has finally come in handy!

The next number is 8 because it has 7 little bars….the previous ones have 6, 4 3 2etc in reverse order.

I thought the dash at the beginning was the missing number so I thought of 3, because upside down it would have spelled the name Ashlie.

Sorry – Starting from the dash on the left each of the numbers is made of of one more bar than the number before it. The dash is one bar, 1 is two bars, 7 is three bars, etc.
