oh how I love sleep

how i wish i could also sleep 8 hours but unfortunately i can`t because i am a full time mom and i had a son who is only 1 year old so i have so many things to do.. i`m lucky enough if i can sleep for about five hours deep sleep.. but i think my body clock has used to sleep in that small amount of sleep.. maybe you can read before sleeping so you will get sleepy..

For me I usually read books or anything on my bed just to let myself go to sleep. When you read your eyes go tired and therefore will initiate the closing of your eyes and eventually leads into a sleep. One thing more, you try working out or do anything that will make yourself tired before you go to bed. Hope I helped :)

Me too! I love to sleep. If there's a job that requires to sleep, I'll do it! I can sleep for a living. I don't normally get long relaxing sleep during the weekdays. Sometimes during weekends I fail to do that as well. I am usually at bed at around 10pm, then be sleeping at 11pm. Then wake up at 530AM or 6AM. During weekends, I wake up at 11AM. Drinking milk before going to sleep relaxes your body thus giving you that deep, relaxing, rejuvenating sleep.

I have to get up early, and usually I have to work overtime, so I barely have any moment for my full 8 - hours sleep. But my mom always urge me to go to bed early, because she worried about me all the time that I would lack of sleep. So, if I am not too addictive to the internet, I might go to bed early, and read a book or 2 before I would close my eyes.

Good luck with it, I have the worst luck when it comes to being able to sleep here under my circumstances as my bedroom is right next to the TV room and the TV is on, uh, alot. One or two people hear hog it all the time and if I wanna go to sleep earlier I can't cause they have to have it on every night unless I ask for it one or two night for an hour then it's back tot hem again. The point is I have to be up and go to bed the same time they do for the most part due to me being a very light sleeper another thing they don't get. I'm told " there are other people in the house that live here" , yea I know but what about me living here too? :( I am lucky if I h=get 5 hours of sleep a night and I love to sleep.

So do I and a lot of people too. I wish I could do that as well and I wish I could complete that eight hour sleep. My deep sleep is probably two to three hours only and the rest is shallow sleep. Some people told me that drinking a glass of milk before going to bed will help us sound asleep. Hope you can rest well.

I can't really be of help here as I consider myself an insomniac. One way I find my way to sleep is through exhaustion and that's definitely not a healthy way to it. I also notice that my body has it's preferred time and even if I forced myself to sleep early, nothing works. It is probably the same for you, the conditioning of your body to sleep must be at some specific time of the night or with something that makes you comfortable.

I love to sleep too. When I was young and hadn't been diagnosed with severe depression, I used to sleep long hours. I could sleep for 12 hours sometimes and I know I know it was because I was depressed. I think you could get yourself a night light and maybe that would help you. They make all kinds that you can just plug in to the wall socket. And with LED now they are very bright. If you don't reach your rem cycle of sleep you won't get much restful sleep. You could take some melatonin which is a natural sleep induser. Camomile tea is nice just before bed. And some people like to have a snack. Have to be careful though because some items aren't good for indusing sleep. Turkey, cherries and such are good to eat before bed. You don't want to eat caffiene or protein. Make sure the room is warm and perhaps play some soothing music.

I spend most my night hours up , and on weekends I stay up even later and sleep right through the day on those days . I also sleep in dim light , I cant sleep in full darkness unless I am really tired and have no time for my imagination to get over active . My tip would be sleep with a little light that is what I do , and I sleep with my fiance and I still want a little light .

I just am happy to get around 6-8 hours of sleep a day. I just try to set up a daily routine of what time I would like to go to bed and stick to it. I don't really know how much deep sleep I am getting everyday either. I make sure I am not too stressed out when I am sleeping because then I would worry about stuff and not be able to fall asleep.

A smooth and calm sleep gives more than a tonic diet to the body to revival. So have a good and sound sleep to be more energetic.

Try to read a book, drink milk, not thinking to much when you are going to sleep and try to watching television to makes your eyes feels sleepy. I like to choose watching television to makes my eyes sleep. It always successful to me. :)

I too love to sleep - It is great! It is wonderful, brilliant and just FANTASTIC. You can't beat a nice sleep

I think you would get a lot more sleep if you didn't wait for me to go to sleep. It really isn't necessary to wait for me because I don't need 8 hours of sleep, I only need about five.

Hi friend.....I guess that you are living alone on weekdays. To tell you the truth, I too cannot sleep alone. I have a family, but it happens sometimes, that they are not at home and I have to sleep alone. I feel very much disturbed...all scary thoughts come to me, all horror moves that I have seen, come to my memory.....though I know it is just our mind that is making us scared, I prefer to have someone in the house. What tip I can give you in fact lets both try to keep mind free of negative thoughts and unnecessary fear...(which is a difficult task), only then we can get a peaceful deep sleep.May be you can share your house with some friend and that will make you feel more secured. Best of luck.

I think that happens to many other people just like me that sometimes I'm having an insomnia. What I do is that I get a book and start reading and in a while, I am sleepy. If not, I listen to solemn music and would get a sleep finally.

I would really like to sleep as well however I can't because I have to attend to my three year old child every night. Maybe when he is grown up, I can sleep tightly already. :-) Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

Well, I do sleep 8 hours every night or at least most nights. But then I work all day and I think that tires my mind a lot, so I fall asleep quickly and wake up in the morning. But when I am under stress or have a lot of things on my mind, I don't get that kind of a sleep. I wake up 2-3 times a night and wake up early. My advice just listen to soft music and fall asleep. Do anything that distracts your mind from the tensions of the future. That helps me. It may just help you too.

I sleep over ten hours a day and I can fall asleep very fast as long as I go to bed. I enjoy watching a movie before sleep. This is a ood way to help you sleep. Is this you have so much pressure on your work that makes you cannot sleep well during the week days?

Everybody must love to have a good 8 hours sleep. Some even enjoy longer sessions, but with busy people that is not so common :)
