Why is it...

[AUFred]

At night I get relaxed & fall asleep on the couch. I get ready for bed and get comfortable in bed. If the phone rings or a text comes in after i fall asleep in bed I cannot get back to sleep.

I don't know about the text thing, but I often fall asleep on the sofa, feeling totally exhausted, can't even keep my eyes open, finally force myself to go upstairs and get into bed and...



Lie awake wondering why I no longer feel tired.

I usually have that happen after 2-3 hours of sleep. You get to watch a lot of old movies like that.

Always happens! More often than none I sit on my laptop browsing whatever, all of a sudden I'm absolutely shattered. So I go get ready for bed and by the time I get into bed, I lie awake for ages! Doesn't make sense!

It's crazy...I've started going to bed early to watch tv because I KNOW as soon as I get comfortable, I'll start dozing and won't want to move. I've spent many nights on the couch for that reason only.

 

[Jackass master]

Same thing again last night. Wonder why I am tired.

I read, or heard, somewhere that watching tv or being at the computer late in the evening prevents one from falling asleep very well. Something about the monitors/displays gets your brains spinnin', or whatever, I can't recall. If you're having problems sleeping, try shutting down earlier and reading a book.
You know................. :ninja We fellas always wanna fall asleep after a good romp in the hay. Tell the little woman that you have doc's orders for a special "sedative" to help you sleep better.

I have never had a problem sleeping and I never fall asleep on the sofa, I always know when I am tired enough to have to go to bed. I always fall asleep quickly too. I swear I could sleep ANYWHERE.

I almost fell asleep in the MRI scanner, had it not been for the woman talk to me to tell me what was gonna happen next...

 

[AnitaBeer]

LOL DancingPotato! I could NOT fall asleep in that noisy thing!!!


I can't stand it when I start dozing off then have to get up to do something quick then get stuck being wide awake long. BLAH

 

[TGLucario475]

I can fall asleep anywhere, I just need to rest my head against something and not have anything on my mind.

I'm like some of you folks, fall asleep so easy. Clear conscience

This is me too. It's one reason why I like traveling long distances by bus. I love sleeping in a moving vehicle.

As long as the sound is consistent, I will fall asleep. I found it pretty relaxing actually lol!

When I was a kid, my mum used to have to drive me around after taking my brother to playgroup so that I'd fall asleep and have an afternoon nap. I blame that on me sleeping so much when travelling :tooth

I'd wake up, slap you and then fall asleep again :24:

 

[AUFred]

I have no problem falling asleep usually. Staying asleep is another matter.

I can force myself to sleep on journeys now. Literally shut my brain down I got travel sickness a lot as a teenager, and then realised that if I could just make myself fall asleep as soon as I sat down, be it on a train, plane or bus, then I wouldn't suffer. Particularly on planes, I just buckle up, close my eyes and make myself sleep.



It doesn't work when I'm at home in bed, possibly because there's no threat of impending illness :ninja

No problem with staying asleep either here!
