Well, I am..again. I hate it. Even the sound of the dog snoring is bothering e. Because she can sleep and I can't. Not fair I tell you. Anyone else dislike being awake while it seems the world is asleep? How often does it happen to you?

It used to, but not lately. I've been sleeping so soundly lately. I notice that the more active I am during the day, the more soundly I sleep... so perhaps try to get a vigorous work out in and remain active through out the day and hopefully you'll sleep really well.

ha! I'd love to, but hurt my ankle on acorns that keep falling in the yard. Be at least a week before I try a good treadmill routine! I agree activity leads to better sleep

Hi ersmommy! I know your problem is not funny, but you resent the dog snoring? You're a natural comedian. I actually like being awake when everyone else is sleeping. The world is quieter and less stressful. Just thinking of all those people sleeping relaxes me. Weird, I know. There are times when I cannot block out the world when I need to sleep. (every night) which is kind of a contradiction. I stay up until 1 or 2 A.M. and use a "white noise" machine to silence my ever-tumbling brain.

Actually, this just happened to me the other night as well, and it is not always Fun at all. I ended up falling asleep early the night before and then ended up waking up at 2:30 and could not fall back asleep, so I came downstairs and posted here in myLot until about 5 and then went back to sleep for a couple of hrs. before I had to wake up. But it can be quite annoying when you are wide awake and the rest of the World is sleeping for sure.

I don't feel well since Friday. My throat is a little painful. And I have the cold symptoms such as having the running nose. Fortunately I don't have a fever so far. So perhaps this is not H1N1. I wake up in the midnight because I don't feel comfortable. I take the cold medicine and I hope I will get well soon. I love China

I am awake often during the night. I have a health issue from the brain tumor I had and it keeps me awake! I'd get on the PC but my eyes can't take that stress! That is maddening! I don't mind being awake.. but not able to do anything .. that is what gripes me!

Hello ersmommy. Last night I went to bed very early at after eight thirty, but at eleven twenty, I woke up because I had to use the bathroom. Later it took me quite a while to fall asleep again. It is very annoying to wake up during the night sleep. I love to sleep all the way to the morning hours when it is time to get up instead of waking up too early. By the way, it doesn't usually happen to me if I don't sleep that early. It was too cold last night and I did not want to stay up late. Thus an earlier sleep came to me.

This happens to me quite a bit, and it's rather annoying. My 2 year old has odd sleeping habits and one night she's out by 8 and may sleep all night long, and on those nights, I find my self up at 1, 2 even 3... twidling my thumbs going huh... why can't i sleep. It doesn't matter how tired I am on nights like this, I still toss turn, flip threw the channels on the tv, as well as try to read, which only makes me more annoyed because I can't find anything that will help me sleep.

I don't have dog now, so I don't worry the snoring of dog, but I awaked by the barking in the middle of night, it's noising and annoying. Especailly it sounds very horrible at the night.sometimes, I worry whether it has a theif outside.

For some reason on the weekends i can't sleep but during the week i feel like i sleep too much. Its like a complete 180 for me from weekday to weekend when it comes to sleep i can't explain. So yes i guess on the weekend i feel like i am awake while the world is asleep but not during the week LOl.
