Are you a good sleeper?

[~*Belle 2003*~]

...or do you toss and turn all night?

 

[cynsaun]

I wake up at least 4 times a night! Plus, since we got the puppy, it's gotten worse! He practically wants to sleep on my lap, so I don't have much room to move!

If I didn't have to go to the stupid bathroom so much, I'd probably sleep like a baby. Getting old and having MS is such fun.

I used to be a really good sleeper, but lately I've been fairly stressed with personal problems....on top of that, I don't want to be late to work, so I'll wake up 5-6 times a night to check my alarm clock. One day I'll get a full night's sleep...I couldn't sleep that well on my last two days off 'cause every little noise would wake me up!

 

[Aurora63]

I'm a fabulous sleeper now!

Though, as a kid, I used to be a very active sleeper...vivid dreams, moving all over the bed, talking, and even walking sometimes.

Now I still have the vivid dreams, and move a little bit, but I have no trouble getting to sleep most nights. And I stay asleep, until my internal alarm clock wakes me up!

I sleep like the proverbial log. Except when the cat walks all over me.

4 or 5 times Im up at night...Toss and turn left and right. If my wife moves, I jump....

I sleep walk. gotten up in the middle of the night and made Orange Juice.

Another time, wife is up early getting ready for work. I walk out of the bedroom with my roll-a-board suitcase in nothing but a pair of boxers. Its 20degrees outside and I open the door. Wife says, what are you doing. I told her I was going to be late for my trip. Seems my dream I was a Flight Attendant and I was late for my trip. I was sure I was going to get fired. She got me back into bed and laughed.

Another time I woke up, took the picture off the wall. Another time, I woke up standing on the bed swinging at the ceiling....Spiders and bats were trying to get me....

Ive got serious issues....

Took some stuff called Ambien...Out like a light...one night didnt tell wife I took it. Well, she decided that it was the right time for certain things.....15 mins of trying to convince me she gave up....I still get yelled at for that....

I toss and turn, stare at the wall, etc. It takes me forever to go to sleep, takes me forever to wake up.

Sleep? What's that????

 

[remyandhollandsmommy]

Lately I have not been able to sleep very well due to personal stress. When I am not stressed I can sleep thru anything, including hurricanes and tornados (I have slept thru both).

 

[buzzlady]

The nights that my DH is working I can sleep pretty well. The nights that he is home he snores so loud that it keeps me awake.

 

[MizlurksaLot]

I sleep pretty well as long as I take a Xanax before bed , other wise it takes me about 3 hours to fall asleep, and then I wake up every hour and a half or so . Gotta love that xanax

 

[onecoolmama]

Well, I have kids...little kids. So I am either up with them, or my dog who thinks he is a kid, or Dh is snoring. (I actually hit him for that.)


Someone could be blowing their nose in the basement and I go running! I hear everything at night. So I voted for sleep what is that?!!!

Actaully, I have fainted from lack of sleep...so I really should do better about getting more!

Editede to Add: I also get really horrible nightmares..the same ones from when I was a kid. So, when I do sleep..I wake up pretty quick.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Most of the time I do pretty well, other nights I toss and turn all night. Good thing DH is a sound sleeper

 

[antnee]

no I am a tosser, lately I dont sleep well at all and have been been prone to nightmares or just really stupid dreams

 

[Credit Man]

Not so well, anymore. Lots of tossing and turning.

 

[BedKnobbery2]

I generally sleep fantastically well since putting a high density foam topper on my bed. Before that, I was a major tosser/turner. I love my topper!

 

[loisg1]

There are a few things that will keep me awake. Being too hot or cold, if someone's sick, thunderstorms because then the dog is awake as well, or DH snoring.

 

[Minniespal]

I sleep really well ~ Only downside is that I don't get enough of it!!!

 

[goofy4tink]

Since I stopped HRT, I just don't sleep. Dh is a terrible snorer. So, I just lie there. Then if I do drift off, I wake up every 1 1/2 hrs. So, dr. gave me Ambian. Necter of the gods!! But, I promised the dr. I would take 1/2 of a tablet every other night. On my Ambian nights, I fall asleep much faster (even with the snoring) still wake up during the night once but I can fall back to sleep. Otherwise, I just take my pillow down the hall to the guestroom.
