What About your Sleeping ?

...Hi there stand87, Welcome to the ranch, it's fun here. Happy 2010. Well, as you get older you will find that you need less sleep. Also that you are able to function with less sleep. But I do think you mske a good point, it needs to be quality sleep to feel rested enough. I am a night owl, I love to work in the wee hours of the dark a.m. It's quiet, and peaceful. You might want to try something called Chamomile tea, it is a herbal blend. Drink a couple of cups just before you retire. It totally relaxes you, and may make a difference in your sleep pattern. You should be able to find the tea at any supermarket. Good luck as you try to find the sandman. "o) Take care.

First of all if I eat right before I go to bed I'll have for sure nightmares. I once have fallen asleep with my eyes opened it was a nice experience, but never intened to... just happened while trying to fall asleep with my TV opened. Also I have some odd experiences mum said that once I came to her bed sleeping and asking her where's the bathroom, but I didn't wait for an answer and just went in the wardrobe, but I wasn't able to find anything except for a lot of clothes and that's when my mum came to me and lead me to the bathroom and after that to my bed... The funny part is that I don't remember doing it :))

I've had trouble sleeping last night because of backpains. There is a lot of snow and ice on the roads here in Holland at the time being, and when I came back from grocery shopping I slipped and feel down on my lower back. It hurt a lot and once I was able to stand up I realized that I had made one nasty fall. The pain kept me awake last night, making matters even worse. I hope the pain will ease off sometime soon, otherwise I'd best see a doctor I guess..

i always go to bed late, at least after 11pm. but i must say most of my sleeping are well. only sometimes cant fall asleep until after midnight. i found if u have phones before sleeping, then u cant sleep well as usual, at least it's more difficult to fall asleep. so, i do my best to calm down before sleeping, then can fall asleep easily and well.

My sleeping pattern has been off for several years now. When my daughter was a baby, I worked third shift so that we could avoid paying for daycare. This meant that I was awake all night. I got to come home and sleep for 2-3 hours, then stay up with her until she was ready for a nap. Then, I was able to sleep another 2-3 hours before it was time for me to go to work. I haven't worked that shift since 2005, but I've never been able to get back on a regular sleeping pattern. I hope that it will eventually happen though.

I always have nightmares, but this is due to my own personal issues, and problems with ex - boyfriends. Ughghhh. It happens everynight too. They're pretty vivid.

I only need 5 hours of sleep. I usually stay up until i am tired enough to go to sleep. These days I am dreaming of my love. Real romantic stuff. Before him, I would have some wild, action packed dreams. it was like I was in a action film!

My sleeping pattern is really screwed at the moment, and sometimes I go through periods of where i have loads of nightmares, but recently my sleep has been undisturbed so all is well. (:

Hehe, Nice discussion! I'm also going to sleep now! Good night to you and see you tommorow! Have a great dreams. Hope you will tell us about them next morning! GOOD NIGHT MYLOT!

I have no problem with sleeping. I do have seldom nightmares. Sleeping is my favorite time after a busy day. It helps my body restore energy to supply my daily activities for the next day.

Hi stand87 . I think I have the same problem here. It seems it has to be pretty exact. Something like 7 hours give or take 15 minutes. If I don't, I have to nap. If I nap too long then I don't fall asleep when I need to.

Hi Stand. Do you have any way for deep sleep? I often don't sleep for long time. Please help me.

So far I don't have problems with my sleeping except for me sleeping late (after 11 PM) because of surfing a lot. I'll make it a point to stop being so hooked to the internet. We just got this net connection lately so I feel kinda high and so in to it. I'm not having nightmares recently. Sometimes I feel like I don't remember any of my dreams at all, but it's just normal. I've watched once on TV that the average number of dreams that we have PER NIGHT of sleep is 2,000,000. We just forget most of them. You can read before you sleep. That always works for me. My eyes eventually get tired of it that it makes me feel drowsy.

I sleep really very less because of tensions but i don't feel much about it. Sometimes i sleep about 2 am or 3 am even and wake up early in the morning. So many times I try to sleep as well but so many things keep on revolving in my brain and then i fail to sleep for long time. I tried so many times to sleep but still fails to sleep as my mind hate rest....lol and keeping thinking somethings all the time which keep me restless...
