So this is what it feels like.

[AUFred]

Most nights I go to bed somewhere around 10:00 to 10:30. I usually wake up a few times during the night. Sometimes I stay up as much as 2 hours. I am up and down all night & the clock goes off at 5:30. Last night I went to bed at my usual time. The first time I woke was after 4am.WOW!

 

[Thornless]

Sorta unreal isn't it? A full night of sleep

 

[AUFred]

yeah. actually had dreams too.

 

[porterjack]

why dont you try going to bed earlier, at least once week i have to get 10 hours sleep to recharge

 

[AUFred]

I have not gotten more than 4 hours without waking in years. Sometimes I can use the restroom get a drink of water & go right back to bed. Other times my mind is racing and I can't get back to sleep. I have been this way for years.

every consider taking anything to stop the mind racing, some mild medication?

 

[AUFred]

back to not sleeping. could not breath part of the night.

 

[AstriaPorta]

nice to sleep well all night sometimes happen

anyway a reason why i don't sleep early if i sleep at night i wake up in the middle of the night and feel sleepy in the morning after.. that's why i prefer to go late to sleep

Have you thought about having a sleep study? Or even start with trying melatonin. It does help.
I know it's been so great for me to be able to sleep since going through everything I did. Obviously I hope your issue isn't as bad as mine was, but checking into it and finally getting sleep is heaven sent.

i wake up a lot but not as much as i used too

so let me get this straight,...there are time you dont wake up?:wtf:

 

[Peep]

I go to bed about 10 every night and I wake up every 2 or 3 hours, sometimes I get lucky and I don't wake up until 2:00 or 3am. Of course at 6:30 or 7am my daughter wakes up so it's time to get up anyway. I usually get her a sippy cup of milk, and turn on the cartoons and go back to bed for an hour or so. She's 2 so her cartoons last about an hour and after that she comes in the bedroom and says, "momma get up"...soo I get up and cook breakfast.
I feel ya fred, I haven't slept good in YEARS! I cut caffeine out of my diet after 4:00pm and it helped a little. On really bad nights I take a unisom and tho it makes me groggy in the morning I usually don't wake up. Try those fred they work...GOOD LUCK!!!

Most sleep aids do not work for me. I buzz on Nyquil. I seem to go the wrong direction on most drugs like that.
