Sleep.

[Hoss]

Sometimes good and sometimes real bad to the point of insomnia. Most nights I get to sleep okay and occasionally sleep right through. Then there are the ones where I wake every hour or so. For those I catch some zzzzs during the day when I can.

Lately I've been having issues with sleeping. Right. Now, I should be assed out, dreaming about random shit that I'll forget when I wake up.

I think it's my hormones.

I'm trying so hard, just can't get to the

I think it's my hormones.

I know a woman who says she has insomnia as part of PMS every month. She only started to have by this in her late 30’s

I struggle with sleep because I am essentially nocturnal, but my life is not.

If I'm off work for more than a few days I easily fall into going to bed at stupid o'clock and getting up at stupid o'clock. I will sleep well for hours. But unfortunately even when I have to be up early I just can't go to sleep, so I am usually chronically sleep deprived.

I'd love to have a nap after lunch. I think my boss would object though.

I take 2 different ambient to put me down at night. Could probably be just the right dosage to put down a horse for the night. It is the only way I can sleep at night though.

I don't really have a fixed work schedule, these days - so my sleep pattern is quite erratic. I usually just collapse into bed, whenever my body tells me to sleep. However, I rarely sleep for more than five hours, regardless. Hunger or horniness typically wake me up, even when I try to sleep for longer.

I only need 6 hours of sleep. If I have been asleep for more than an hour, very little can wake me up before 4 hours has passed. In fact, you may believe you have successfully awakened me. I may actually still be asleep and just somnambulant. I have yet to actually leave my bed in this state, but I will look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear. If you give me any electronic device in this state, I will begin to delete the contents. None of this will imprint on my long-term memory. Touching me will wake me but I won't like it. When in doubt, require that I exit the bed. I can sleep standing up but I cannot sleep and walk.

I have wild dreams but I can't always remember them well enough to describe them. I recently dreamed that my hair was pasta and I couldn't stop eating it until it was all gone. The next day, I dreamt that something was wrong with my legs and my greatest concern was that I couldn't wear pants. I also had some dreams about dead squirrels. I'm pretty sure that's about my dogs hunting too much in the backyard recently. These girls eat too well to be murdering squirrels and possum.

Generally, I do not struggle to sleep. If I want to be asleep I will be the fuck asleep. I can sleep through anything I must that doesn't sound like crying children. I can keep sleeping for ages if permitted. But, if you need me alert and productive, just let me have six hours, and then harass me until I walk.

Of course, if I'm sick, I can't wake up for long. When I was pregnant, I couldn't function on six hours. I couldn't function on fewer than ten. It was a black, dreamless sleep, too.

I also need about an hour to decompress before sleep if I have been stressed or very focused. I don't like to go to sleep hungry. It makes me wake up grumpy.

I don't like a lot of light or noise when I wake up. You want to be on my shitlist? Come to my house and put on a television within an hour of me getting out of bed. I will bury a body in the basement. And I don't even have a basement.

I don't like sleeping without pets now. When I have to be away, o try to stay with someone who has at least a cat or a bunny or something. I can't sleep with just any human. I mean I can, but I feel a difference in quality.

If I'm sleeping poorly, a spritz of my mother's horrible cologne will knock me right out. Objectively, it's a terrible fragrance, but I just smell a special occasion with my mother. It smells like good times. Happiness. Safety. Love. Who could struggle to sleep through that?

... I had to look that one up

I have a strange lexicon.

My sleep pattern is all over the place some nights I can’t fall asleep other nights I fall right asleep and then I wake up way early and can’t fall back asleep. My mind just starts up thinking about work problems, home projects, problems my daughters are having with school or life in general. And occasionally I fall asleep fast and actually wake up to my alarm clock.

To tell the truth, I can't sleep naked because I immediately catch a cold and I get cystitis, even in the warmest period of the year. But my husband, on the contrary, always sleeps naked and he can't suffer any clothes under the blanket. While we had no children it was not a problem, but now we had a small daughter, and he is forced to sleep at least in underpants in order to avoid unnecessary questions and the stress of the child. Indeed, we have a very comfortable bed that adjusts according to the programming that you make and children often came in our room to lay on it.

Regular exercise helps me sleep deeply. I usually don't consume any caffeine after 6 pm because it keeps me awake. When I'm upset, stressed or angry, it always impacts my sleep quality and I can't sleep at all. When all else fails, I take over the counter Sleep-eeze. One tablet knocks me out cold. Thankfully it's very rare that I need one.

I usually take a nap every afternoon. I don't fight it anymore. I take sleep whenever I can get it.

Sleep. What I'm doing right now.

Ugghh.

Sleep and I have an antagonistic relationship.

I treat it as elastic and by normal standards I'm missing years of it.

Ive had a terrible relationship with sleep for 2 years but for the last week ive been sleeping very well and i think it will continue as ive let go of everything that makes me unhappy and my future excites me

 

[Sweetlysad]

I have a terrible relationship with sleep, I have insomnia and have done most of my adult life. I take sleeping pills to get what sleep I do get which isn’t great.

Sleep. She’s so elusive... ( wrote a poem once called something like “Lil Miss Insomnia “, thus the female reference )
I don’t like taking things specifically to induce sleep. Unless there’s pain , injured something, etc included. Kinda gotten used it i guess , to a certain extent.

Spoke too soon , anxieties are messing my sleep up

 

[socalfreak]

I've had nasty insomnia since I was a teen.
Runs in the family, on my mom's side.
Grandma and mom had it bad.
I've tried just about everything you can think of.
Sleeping meds are ok. I'd rather not... But, I can't afford to go to work tired.
So, low dose of lunesta and a nighttime drink made by a supplement company is doing the trick really well right now

Me and sleep ain't exactly on speaking terms. Outside influences have driven us apart.

Outside influences are about to get thier asses handed to em.
