Do you ever wish you could sleep more or more effectively?

I have a toddler who has decided to wake up each night at about 2am and wants to play even when he's had a full, active day! And there are just some days like today when I just got over a migraine and its that time a month and I just want to nap... or stay and bed and read... For many, they have to work all day, some late and would wish for more sleep, especially Monday morning...are you one of these? I'm going to be going back to work and I'm so looking forward to it but the one nice thing is that my baby still sleeps 12-16 hours a day. Which means a nice nap and sleeping late sometimes - well not waking up at five or six as I will have to work!

Hi there artemis432! I usually sleep late and wake up early in the morning. The only time I can go online to do my usual myLot activities would be an hour or two before I sleep. So normally, I would sleep at around 11pm or 12midnight. I will wake up around 6am the next day because I have to prepare for work. During Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, when my schedule allows me to have a nap, I would take a nap after lunch. I wish I could sleep for more hours though.

i had been wishing for that in almost a year now..i work night shift and i find it so hard to sleep fast even how tired i am..normally i just get 4 hours of sleep sometimes even less..i got no child but my work feels like i had one...though when i had my child i experience 72 hours straight with no sleep at all..it felt like my half body is not connected to my upper body anymore..i tell you even during my days off where in i was supposed to be enjoying the whole night with sleep..i get none..i still sleep when the sun is up..my body got used of the time clock i guess..its hard..

Yes i definitely wish i could sleep a little better im a really light sleeper and i rarely take naps so when i go to bed at night its usually the only time i get to sleep and you may or may not have seen my thread about my pet cat that keeps me awake at night, i got some pretty good advice so maybe now i can get some sleep, lol.

my son has been doing that lately... waking up at 2 am for nothing really just to cry... making mom going nuts I tell ya!! He is a good sleeper though so I usually just bring him into bed with me and then we sleep all night till morning (he usually wakes up around 9:30-10ish) or when he sleeps with me he might just sleep till noon - I never tested it lol

I tend to wake up early, usually. I wake around 6-7. Some days I will go back to sleep until around 10, and others I will wake up and start getting ready for whatever I may decide to do lately. I seem to go to bed a bit late for the time that I wake up. I go to bed anywhere between 9.30PM and 11.30PM. I wake up regretting not going to bed earlier, but still I stay awake later anyway. I wish I would start listening to myself sometimes.

sleeping - dog sleeping on the grass
Same here...i wish i could get more sleep and feel good in the morning.My usual sleep is 12 midnight or till 3 at the most.Then i have to wake up at 5:30 to prepare breakfast and send kid to school.Sometimes i go back to sleep and wake up after one hour.Or if i really was late sleeping up to 11 or twelve noon...argh! Very bad i think so.What i wish to do is sleep early..maybe around 9 or 10 then wake up earlier.Then i can finish house work early also and have the rest of the day in computer.I wish!!!

I sooooooooo wish I could sleep better. Even with medication from my doctor my sleep cycle is very irregular. I wixh my job would factor in a 30 minute nap time.
