It's 5AM. I need to get up at 6:30, so I am afraid to go back to sleep. I think I woke up about every 1 1/2 hrs last night, but at least I was able to go back to sleep, without too much difficulty.
I'm glad I wasn't awake, pacing, most of the night.

But 6:30 is going to come too soon.

Enjoy your day!

TMR-are you always trying to sleep on the same bed? Is there a couch you could sleep on if you wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time falling back asleep? When I wake up in the middle of the night two or more times, I will often move to the living room couch where sometimes I get an additional three or four hours of uniterupted sleep.

I think tonight is going to be my last night at DD2's. I may go get my pills and come back to my place. I think feeling like being stuck in a little bedroom, with the door closed, isn't helping my sleep issues. It will help when I can get up and move about, rather than being stuck, in the middle of the night.

They have suggested I go down to their work out room and walk on their treadmill, or something. Yeah, No. That's not going to happen.

OMG, I slept SO well, last night!
It was glorious! Although it is early to be awake and I may go back to sleep, the multiple hours I got to sleep, in a row, felt fabulous!

DD2and her husband kept asking me if I want a new mattress and I kept saying, "No." Although my mattress and box springs are very old, the idea of having to find and get used to a new one, does not excite me.

I slept WAY better, in my own bed, in my own place and it was wonderful. No pacing in the middle of the night, none of that. And my back doesn't hurt this morning. I wasn't fighting with the bedding all night or kicking my legs and moaning. I'm SO glad I decided to stay here, last night! Now, I just wish I had some breakfast, this morning.
If my car had been parked in a "garage", I would go get some breakfast, to go, somewhere. But I don't want to have to scrape my windows. It's too cold for that. And when I tried to scrape them yesterday, the frost and ice was too hard and too thick, to get off easily. Or even with a good amount of effort.

I need to get some groceries soon. And get my prescriptions filled.
Perhaps I'll do that today, after my appointment with one of my cardiologists.

Life is good, right now. 😊

I have been awake for the last hour and a half, but I don't want to be!
Still, at least it isn't super early.

I have another furniture delivery scheduled for tomorrow morning. I hope they don't call and want to show up before 7AM, like last time. That was painful.

[toomuchreality]

I slept really well. Woke up at AM to use the bathroom. Going back to sleep now.

I hope you slept well.

[toomuchreality]

I looks like it's going to be a
L O N G night. I didn't have a great day on Saturday, so I tried to go to sleep around 5PM.
It's now just 12:51AM and I've already been awake several times.
UGH. I don't want to "play" anymore.
I'm sick of people. And "it's too peopley out there."




It's not fun yet, in case you were wondering!

[toomuchreality]

I need just a little more sleep!

[toomuchreality]

Wow. I'm up past 11PM, that's late for me, since I got out o the hospital. Usually I crash by, or before 8PM!

I hope you all have a good night and get some sleep/rest.

[NastyWoman]

Sleep well

[toomuchreality]

Here it is, after 4AM and I'm still awake. I have to get up in 2 hours. It's going to be a LONG day, I'm afraid.

DD2 has appt with her tax guy, then has an appt to take her dog in for a check up (he was fixed a week ago), so I need to be there, to watch her girls.

My stomach is beginning to feel a little queasy. Maybe that's what has kept me awake? I hope it doesn't get worse.

Have a great day!

[countrygirl2]

It's 2 AM,need to be in bed. Going to try now.

Night all, good luck on sleeping.

[toomuchreality]

I fell asleep early and have slept really well. Waking only briefly for a bathroom break.

It should be a good day.

I tried a new technique I heard about last night.  Pretend you are asleep.  The bladder was the disruption every 2 hours.  At night is better than during the day while I'm shopping multiple stores.

I pretend I am asleep every night. I thought everyone did that. When I'm resting, but can't sleep, I'm pretending I'm asleep.

Not doing good on the sleep either tonight. Hope sleep improves for you soon TMR.

Oh, no. I have actually been sleeping well, tonight.
I hope you've been able to sleep also.

[ners]

Last night was another night of poor sleep.  Oh well all I can hope for is a better night tonight.

I slept some, but less than I should have. Need to deal with things like car insurance that I let go. I think I am going to just cancel outright today since I can't find what they want, and the competence level varies so much across the three agencies. I find it more challenging having to deal with many people instead of just the staff at the office I originally was homed to. I think whoever I knew there is long gone or relocated to a different office.

I take the Tylenol pm without the Tylenol. Gives me a good 6-7 hours at least.

[Artemis Windsong]

My H. has been sleeping through the night the past few weeks. 

I am also sleeping well.  There are nights that seem I'm just half asleep.  I need to look at my sleep tracking on the Fitbit on those mornings.

[ners]

Another night of tossing and turning.  Bring on the coffee.  Hoping for a better night tonight.

[toomuchreality]

It's after 5AM and I haven't slept. It's going to be a long day, I think.

I just had three consecutive nights of restless sleep with fully waking up at least two times each night. 
Last night I took a Kirkland sleeping pill. While I did get six solid hours of sleep, I'm now groggy. 
It just shouldn't be this hard.

I have a new psychiatric provider. She has prescribed guanfacine and increased my dosage of lorazepam.
I actually slept 6 consecutive hours last night!

[toomuchreality]

I slept for about 3 hours last night, then woke up around 1:30AM.
Because I have all this stuff attached to me (around my chest, up my nose and on my finger, just to name a few), I'm calling this a win.
I have electrodes attached behind my ears and on the back of my neck and tape on my cheeks.
A person would have to be insanely tired, to sleep with all this on them.


Sleep well. ♡

[ners]

Not a lot of sleep last night.  I think it was too warm in my bedroom.  Oh well hoping for a better night's sleep tonight.

[TheOtherMe]

I was sleeping just fine until about 3:30 AM when Maddow decided it was time for me to get up.  I only went to the bathroom and back to bed.  He didn't let me go back to sleep so a nap will happen today.

I am not sure what is going on with my sleep the last few nights.   One night nightmares, than the rest, I'm working at something half the night, though I'm asleep, that leaves me tired. I don't remember what it is. I told hubs, not taking any new pills or anything so kind of odd. Not sure what is causing it. Going to review all meds and see what side effects they may cause. Sleeping but not getting good rest. Last night was up to late again should have not been.
