I need an off switch

In some cases, yes, but an on/off switch isn't very favorable for me because sometimes when you turn it off, it's hard to turn the switch back on. This method kind of goes against how I usually do things, but have you tried using aspirin?

For sure! I need one on my baby. "Wake up at 7am" flick. :) That would be awesome.

I wish I did too, I take pills to help stay asleep at night, but it doesn't always work - darn it!

You mean you don't have one? I find mine extremely helpful, except for the occasional time it gets stuck.

Oh ya! On and off would be great! I had a horrible run in with my granddaughter yesterday afternoon. It stresses me out big time. Then out for a nice dinner and home to bed. I think I slept twelve hours. THis happens after I have had alot of stress. I was able to find my turn off button. Thank goodness.

An hour's sleep is a lot!!! Of course, I have those moments too...and more often now than ever before...but since I dont go out to work...I can sleep when I want.

Definitely! The amount of nights I lie in bed wide awake because my brain won't shut down, it analyzes everything and no matter how comfortable I get I am always thinking stuff through, sometimes its ideas for discussions, other times it's what's worrying me, I am a big worrier which doesn't encourage sleep. I would also like an on/off switch for my hearing, my hearing is very sensitive and if I hear a noise then I lie awake wondering what it is! Drives me mad sometimes.

ya that'd be amazing!! I was just saying earlier that I wished my 2 yr old grandson had a pause button.

Life is strange, I think because when we're little, we have all kinds of energy and when we grow to be adults, all we want to do is rest or sleep. I jokingly say, God has that backwards! lol It should be that we want to sleep when we're little and as adults have a lot of energy! Hey! What's up with that?! lol Anyway, I heard that as we age, our bodies lose the hormone that helps us to sleep. I'm finding that to be true because I have a terrible time going to sleep these days and I'm only 48. My mom was the same way until she had a stroke then she slept a lot. I hope that's not the way it'll go for me but we'll see. But YES! I do agree, an on and off switch would be OH SO NICE! lol

I don't need an off switch most nights. I find that I can fall asleep no problem most of the time. I need an ON switch. No matter how much or how little sleep I get I have the same problem getting up in the morning every time. I just don't want to get up at all. I sleep until I absolutely have to get up in the morning and if I don't work till the evening I will go back to sleep after the kids go to school and take another nap.

i could use 1 that's for sure, i usually wake up about 3 times a night and like you go to the bathroom, back to bed, then I get up and look through the peep hole to see if anybody is out there Then back to bed thinking about bills, work and life period....Yes I do need an off switch

Unfortunately I've had to depend on medications to help me fall asleep for a while now and that is the only way that I'm able to sleep. I definitely do think that it would be a lot easier if I was able to somehow turn my body off so that I could sleep whenever I wanted to sleep and I would also be able to wake up without feeling terribly groggy. When you've figured out a way to develop one, I'll volunteer to be one of your test monkeys.

I probably would have lost sleep after that as well. A switch would be good too to control mood swings and hot flashes lol

We already have an on/off switch it is just that it is not the only switch that wakes us up. Having a cat on the bed is a definite wake up call because they have a way of taking up more and more of the bed. The need to go to the toilet is another one. We really have no control over that one except by not drinking after 7.30 at night. Worry is another, whether it is a smell of smoke or a concern over money or a relationship. Another natural waking up call is the one you experienced of smoke. This could be a life saver if there really is a fire. I'm wondering now if there are more things to wake us up than to send us to sleep! If I go to bed before I get overtired then I sleep. If my feet are warm I sleep quickly. If I think about things that make me feel happy that helps, if I pray for friends in need and also for myself from time to time that relaxes me and aids sleep.

I would LOVE an off switch. I don't get a lot of sleep. I'd love to just have it programmed in me, when to go to sleep. Even if it was just three uninterrupted hours.

Since I arrived home I always been disturbed every night. Every morning I need a switch off for while. Yesterday, I switch of for awhile after 6am so I was woke up late already. I want to sleep more during the night so I can be energetic during the day while managing my offline business. It always my routine now, everyday I am lak of sleep.

I wish I had one of those switches! Sometimes I wake up and can't fall back to sleep! Like when I am worring about something or had a horrible dream. I play WOrds with Friends but when I can't sleep I go my Facebook page. Sometimes I come here. This doesn't happen all the time but when it does I am a zombie,too!

Well, to be honest, I must say that I sleep well at night. However I do not I need a switch switch-off, because, in my life, are unlikely to be very busy. Game-force that unfortunately I have no job yet! However some commissions for the family, and recently also for my dear grandparents who have returned to my home town, I do not refuse to instruct me to those tasks. But they are things that I do willingly. The time to rest, in every way, I always find it.

I think then you will be known as a robot. It is not good to have those buttons because it may be sometimes a real need to wake up in the night too, like the emergencies, then such buttons will not help you. Only one hour is disturbed and you want to install a button, that is not a good sign. I will never prefer that.

Oh, I wish I have an on/off switch! I'm suffering from insomnia and often find it difficult to fall asleep (I can stay up in bed for 6 hours without falling asleep because of my insomnia) even if I stayed up until 3am doing a project for school. This often resulted in me falling asleep in my physics classes and failing the subject consistently. How I wish I can just fall asleep whenever I want.
