How well did you sleep last night?

["couldbecousin"]

You have a fever? Shit, Hyke. That is no good at all. 

I came into this thread simply to say that I finally established reasonable sleeping patterns after a lifetime of terrible sleeping pattern, in the last 12 months or so. Makes the world of difference.

  How did you reprogram yourself after so many years? 

It was very difficult. My fear of going to bed and going to sleep was completely rational and reasonable....when I was a child. It was registering that the problem was and the anxieties were habit and not grounded in existing fears. Then it was going to bed at 10:00pm rain, hail or shine. Embarrassed to say it took me months to break the habit because I would be in bed awake and bored stupid until 2am.  Then a few nights dropping off earlier. Eventually, I was able to drift off. Over the years I tried numerous things but it was not until I came to understand what was really going on for me to do anything about it.

  Congratulations on a hard-won victory that was a long time coming.

Thanks. I am not as grumpy now too.

I'm coming up on night #6 of some strange insomnia jag.

I'm coming up on night #6 of some strange insomnia jag.

  Any idea why?    Allergies, weather conditions?

fell alseep on the sofa. my back did not sleep well.

  Eventually slept OK.  The leg aches interfere somewhat. 

[renaeden]

Pretty well as usual. I kept my bedroom door shut so Liam wouldn't come in and scratch my clothes basket and wrapping paper. He scratched at my door though, but I just ignored him.

[Queen Victoria]

Very well, thank you

[odeon]

OK-ish, but I would have liked an hour more.

["couldbecousin"]

  Not well, partly because of the leg aches, partly because I went to bed too early. 

[renaeden]

I go to bed at roughly the same time every night. There have been exceptions but I get back on track the next night.

["couldbecousin"]

  After a few restless hours, I actually slept fairly well.  I feel rested. 

[odeon]

Well enough, with some very odd dreams.

["couldbecousin"]

  Pretty well, eventually. 


   Going to call my doctor about this left leg, it's taking up too much of my attention.
