How many hours of sleep did you get last night? - Page 49

Bèsame* · 10-10-2020, 05:06 PM

Last 10 days..easily 8.5 to 9+ hours.

Less stress! I've had the best sleep in a long time.

Dark cold room, contoured pillow and quiet. If I find myself overthinking, I'll put the timer on some soft music. That can have me relaxed before the first song is over! If I feel restless, a hot shower calms me.

And by all means..NO Caffine after 4pm.

C0LLETTE · 10-10-2020, 05:23 PM

Was doing fine till that damned donkey started braying at 2am. Not sure if this is going to work out.

FireSignFemme · 10-10-2020, 05:47 PM

Off and on Monte kept waking me up to play. Between that and bathroom breaks just four.

C0LLETTE · 10-10-2020, 05:49 PM

I empathize, my little Pedro does the same.

Orema · 12-15-2020, 05:33 AM

Six hours last night.

Still taking 10 mg of melatonin to help me sleep on some nights. Natrol Melatonin brand seems to work well for me.

Thanks for sharing this, Orema. I have been wanting to try melatonin, but I've heard it makes you groggy in the morning. Could you share your experience?

You’re welcome. This brand doesn’t leave me groggy in the morning. I mention the brand because a different brand didn’t work at all.

Before the melatonin I was taking a prescription sleeping aid, Ambien, along with cannabis edibles to help me sleep. So my body is accustomed to sleep aids. Also, I tend to wake up early and stay in bed for a couple hours reading the news before getting up. But once I’m up, I’m in action and am ready to exercise and start my day.

I suggest you try it and see how it affects you. I’d start with a small dosage (3 mg?) to see how it works.

Good luck and let us know if you try it out.

Kelt · 12-15-2020, 07:45 PM

I will chime in and say that I use the same dose of the same brand and it works well for me too.

PlatinumPearl · 12-16-2020, 04:06 PM

I slept 4 hours, which has been normal for me lately. I hope to get back to 8 hours again but that may not happen for at least another 3 weeks.

GeorgiaMa'am · 12-18-2020, 01:22 AM

I am clearly not getting a full 8 hours tonight, since I am here on the Planet.

theoddz · 12-18-2020, 07:57 PM

Now that we have one of these Sleep Number 360 degree “smart” beds, Dear Wife and I sleep soooooo much better!!! According to the bed’s app, we both get an average of about 8 to 9 hours or better each night.

These beds are amazing and Dear Wife and I heartily recommend them to anyone who is looking for an excellent’s night sleep.

I hadn't heard of this! I'm going to talk this over, sounds pretty cool but also weird to think my bed could be monitoring my sleep. But my watch does now so...

I've been sleeping so much better with a medication that tames my nightmares. It's shifted me from sleeping 4-5 hours with frequent wake ups and anxiety to often 7-9 hours with minimal waking and often no anxiety.

It's pretty life changing.

Gemme · 12-19-2020, 09:57 PM

I've shorted myself the past few nights but will get a full night's sleep tonight since I can wake up later tomorrow.

Orema · 12-20-2020, 09:46 AM

Three, if that. Am dragin' a bit this morning, but I'll play catch up later today.

GeorgiaMa'am · 12-20-2020, 11:25 AM

About twelve. I feel great!

Orema · 12-23-2020, 05:15 AM

7 hours.

Am testing the SnoreLab snoring app. Snored lightly for 16% of the time last night though I had an epic snore for 2 seconds! LOL

It’s pretty cool. Think I’ll keep it and use the free version.

GeorgiaMa'am · 12-24-2020, 11:57 PM

Not many, for the last several nights. My CPAP broke. It sounds like a jet engine when it's on. I'm pretty sure it's the bearings in the motor.

It will be January before I can even go to the doctor's appointment to get an appointment in the sleep lab. I have to do this to get a new prescription. Nobody will use my old prescription (admittedly, 11 years old) to get me a new CPAP.

There are people who repair CPAPs. However, they all sound very doubtful on the phone: "Oh, it's in the motor? We probably can't fix that." "Oh, it's too old. We can't work on that."

I can barely sleep without the thing. I snore so deeply that I wake myself up choking. What do people do who run into this problem? Yes, CPAPs last a long time, typically about 10 years, but they do break. You can't buy one on eBay because it's medical equipment and that's illegal. I might be insane from lack of sleep if I have to wait until late January to get a new one. Maybe there's someone in another city who I can ship mine to to get worked on.

GeorgiaMa'am · 12-25-2020, 03:44 AM

Is anyone else waiting up to catch a glimpse of Santa?

I still couldn't sleep so I watched _It's a Wonderful Life_. It's one of my Top 10 faves.

nhplowboi · 12-25-2020, 05:15 AM

I was doing great until 4AM this morning when I got up for a bathroom break. I put on the news to make sure the Donald did not have troops in the streets and am now hoping I can grab a hour before I really need to be up.

Stone-Butch · 12-25-2020, 06:06 AM

none so far.
