How well do you sleep?

[WillParkinson]

Paul and Kenny can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. I have to lay there for a while before I finally fall asleep.

Paul and Kenny can sleep through most of the noise in the house. I wake up over a weird noise (like Cider wiggling the door handle which is what just woke me now).

How about you? Sleep good?

1. Haven't slept well in about....

17 years. My husband can fall asleep within minutes of laying down. Not me, I'll toss and turn for at least an hour, usually longer. And I wake up frequently. I'm always tired, but never take a nap.

2. I only sleep in naps...

A couple hours here, a couple hours there. It's not bad on my off days, but it sucks for work.

3. since I got my apnea diagnosis and cpap I sleep like a hound dog

7 to 8 hours at night straight through, maybe a half hour to an hour afternoon nap when it's hot or I am tired from something else

I used to be up to the bathroom 5 or 6 times a night, toss and turn, read for hours, sleepy all day - multiple naps, ALWAYS tired. I think I must have never slept much since I was a little kid. It just got worse and worse. CPAP saved my life. I am sure of it.

4. When I'm out, I'm out. I sleep like a rock.

Not like a dog, not like a log... A ROCK.

6. I never sleep more than three hours at a time

I sleep during the day and day shift morons keep me awake

7. I am the Sleep Monster.

I can go to sleep anywhere, any time.

Okay, I can't sleep on airplanes. Tried. Can't. Anywhere else though? No problem. Head. Pillow. Sleep. I say it's because I have a clear mind, the Ex says it's because I don't care about anything. I think I learned it by sleeping on the other side of a steel wall from an ornance elevator on an aircraft carrier. That elevator was in use 24/7.

If I have the next day off, I can go to bed the night before at 10 p.m. and sleep solid until after 8 a.m. the next morning, then doze on and off until about 11 or so. No problem whatsoever.

10. I hate you.

:P

I wish I could sleep. When we went to Vermont for our wedding we took the Amtrak there. Paul had no problem sleeping. I felt like the Princess and the Pea. Something was poking me in the back and I couldn't figure out what it was in the tight compartment.

8. I can fall asleep anywhere at any time in any position. My poor husband has insomnia and is always

jealous at my ability to fall asleep in seconds. My siblings tell me that all changed when they turned forty so I'm waiting. So far so good though.

I have woken up many a time and realized I fell asleep while working and there is an imprint of my keyboard on my forehead (and paragraphs of nonsense in the body of an email or something).

9. not well enough most of the time

11. Chronic insomnia.

At least one night a week, I get no sleep at all. When that happens and I have a free couple of hours during the day, I nap. I sleep more like a cat or a dog than a human. I've never really had a sleep "schedule", and I think that messed me up. I don't have a schedule for lunch or dinner, either. I freelance my wsy through life.

12. not as well lately - getting up at 6 to get the high schooler out the door

doesn't help, really. :(
