How Do You Sleep At Night?

[Perd]

Don’t worry I mean that in the most literal sense. Do you sleep well? Do you toss and turn all night. Do you have to be woken up with a jackhammer? Or does the slightest noise rouse you?

Me? I have trouble falling asleep. But when I do doze off, I sleep pretty well. But, like I alluded to, actually falling asleep can be hell. Just that notion of "Ok, time to make myself unconscious for a few hours." has always been weird to me.

Beat me to it.

I usually sleep with a fan on as it helps me sleep at night, even during the winter months but with the window closed.

badly.

On the bones of my enemies and all the little people I stomped on to achieve all of my glory and power.

Depends on how badly my insomnia chooses to act up. Even without it though, I can’t remember the last time I got a full uninterrupted night of sleep.

[Error]

Horribly. I'm up and down constantly, very little time actually asleep. It contributes to my poor mental health but there is nothing that can be done.

[BlackoutCreature]

Hit or miss. Sometimes I can just crawl into bed and completely pass out until morning. Sometimes I'm up half the night staring at the ceiling.

[Bo Rida]

A lot better since being able to WFH most days. Both for the extra time to sleep in and having time exercise which also helps me sleep.

But my neighbour having a baby has ruined that a bit. I'm a light sleeper and try to avoid earplugs as I think they contributed to sinus issues.

Now for the other Simpsons joke:

I sleep in a big bed with my wife.

[Magnus the Magnificent]

A couple of hours, then I need to get up and pee, repeat.

[tafkaga]

I need the TV going, so when I'm actually ready to go to sleep I'll turn on Seinfeld reruns, Angry Video Game Nerd, or some old rasslin with a lot of rest holds. Usually I sleep through the night, but lately my fkin cat has been waking me up meow meow meow meow from the kitchen at 3 AM to let him out and then I can't get back to sleep.

I fall asleep fine, usually, but I always wake up at some point during the night at least once, and it usually takes me ten minutes to an hour to doze back off. I also am a pretty light sleeper, and noises on the opposite side of the house can wake me up pretty easily.

Been fighting insomnia since I was 14,so close to 40 years now.

Got a routine that works about 75% of the time. Take my sleep meds,find something on youtube to listen to as I doze off. Shut off my lamp,put my big fan on fast. Then read a comic or book on my tablet till my meds kick in.

On a good night I get 5 to 6 hours sleep. But there is also nights when I sleep 2 hours.

I sleep on eitehr side or my back. Can't sleep on my stomach and move a pile in my sleep. I move so much that the times I stay at her apartment I usually sleep on her couch. Cause my movement keeps her awake.

Plus she sleeps in darkness with no noise. I gotta have noise and a tiny bit of light.

It works out ok. Lay down with her put on a tv show on DVD. Set sleep timer on tv for an hour. Once she is sound asleep I get up and move to the couch in the living room.

I move so much in my sleep that my dog at least once every week gets flippeed off the bed and onto the floor.

She is smart she gets up jumps up onto the longbox by my bed,jumps from that into the bed. Then slaps my nose with her paw until i lift the blanket and sheet and she zooms under them and back to sleep.

I would describe my sleep as erratic.

I'm a bit of a night owl, so if I get to bed before about 1am then that's an early night for me, but I've been through a few phases of falling asleep at about 10pm and then waking up again at 4am, which is pretty annoying. If I've got work in the morning then I'll wake up at about 5:30 or 6, but sometimes fall asleep again.

I also sleep with talk radio on so I'm not alone with my thoughts, because my brain never really switches off - I'm currently waiting for an adult ADHD assessment - and I end up lying awake worrying about stuff. I used to sleep with the TV on back when I had one, I would just watch TV hour news.

Despite all that, I absolutely hate getting out of bed and it's genuinely one of the things I find the hardest and dread the most about having to go to work.

[Celexa Bliss]

Decent, most of the time. I have a lot of issues I won't get into that can interfere with my sleep some nights, but on the whole, I sleep pretty well.

[Dr. T is an alien]

My back is garbage. I bought an adjustable bed for myself because sleeping reclined is the only thing that doesn’t cause me a ton of pain.

[Mozenrath]

My bed is burning, so I haven't figured it out yet.
