Thank you, Nammu. I did end up having a real nap for an hour this afternoon. Saved my evening.

Simply Sleep is made by Tylenol and it's the usual - diphenhydramine. Same stuff as ZzzQuil, Benadryl, and all of those. The thing is, I notice that different brands of diphenhydramine work differently. No idea why. It's odd. I used to buy Simply Sleep fairly regularly, but it's no longer sold out here. So I purchase it on Amazon.

Ooo maybe I should try that. I take Benadryl, and melatonin along with ambian. Maybe I could switch it up. I’m finally going to see a real pdoc next month to discuss sleep.

I haven't told or visited my doctor about my sleep problem or any other problems since covid & don't plan to until I feel that it's really safe to visit there.

Was up twice for a while to run the heat and flush out all the pipes. I’m going to be so relieved when we get above freezing that’s for sure !

Here’s hoping we all get a good nights sleep !!!

I was sleeping in sweat pants last night and I was so hot I kept waking up and then taking off the blanket and then getting cold. This went on all night. Finally around 2 or 3 or something I took off my sweat pants and just slept in my Fruit Of The Looms. I know thats kinda weird but I got instant relief and I was able to sleep comfortably under my Wizard Of Oz throw blanket.

Slept pretty good. Woke early and didn’t want to get up from my warm bed. The new sheets are awesome warm without being too warm. But in not getting up when I woke up I lost my dream! I only remember that it was a cool dream.

Oooooo new sheets Nammu ??! I love getting new ones !! Hopefully they will bring you consistent good sleep

Dawn? How are you doing ? Hopefully better sleep.

I’m just up and down due to it being so cold every night then I finally seemed to fall into a great sleep and all 3 of my Dogs come over staring at my face to wake me up . I have to laugh because they are so polite waking me up

I'm ok, just slow from lack of energy. I should be doing so many things that I'm not doing.

Your dogs sound sweet, Christina.

Ha ha, that’s what Sir does, he just sits there staring at me. If my hand is outside the blanket he will run his head under it, as if I’m petting him! But he doesn’t do that until he’s determined I’m awake. I can’t play possum, he knows!

Lol Sir is slick like my boys

One of my cats, Sadie, starts slapping my little alarm clock around on the night stand when it's time for me to get up and feed them breakfast/give my diabetic kitty her insulin shot. Somehow Sadie has made the connection between that clock and me getting out of bed.

My cat is my alarm clock, lol. I don't even bother to set one. He wakes me up when it's time for his breakfast.

Lol Beth !!! Our babies are much smarter than we can imagine !

all the furry alarm clocks here!

It was a terrible dark and non stormy night where the old woman had turned the heat up to August daytime temps. The younger old woman tossed and turned throwing off the sheets and gasping for cool air…….ha ha that was my night, no dreams

My anxiety is sucky it woke me up twice pretty early. I wish I could feel like myself again. The way I did a couple of weeks ago.

Kept having crazy dreams last night (70 venomous snakes in the backyard, walked into a hospital elevator and the doors disappeared, went on a water ride at an amusement park and drowned, was abused by my high school best friend's mom, yeah, crazy night). So I kept waking up.

Chris I dreamt I couldnt see Matt one day so I saw you in his office instead. He was sick. So we just sat there chatting. Then when I went to drive away I looked at the window and saw you just chilling looking at all his books.

I told Matt about this last week. He thought it was hilarious and wanted to dissect it. I was like nah man my dreams never make sense!!

Had a complicated dream. Was at a fancy fast food restaurant . Was two levels the lower level was for eating inside the upper level was like a huge deck outside with a massive two level floor eating area. There were us, little old ladies that met weekly or daily on this upper deck. Then I would go off and catch a bus. One night as I was leaving I saw these 6 huge, huge guys come in though the back. So the next day I’m trying to warn my friends about those guys. But the next scene is one of cops dealing with the body parts scattered everywhere. One of the woman gives me a pink and transparent debt card to order her food and her code was written on it in black marker but all three of the ordering stations are closed and the workers all surrounded by cops. I try to get to my group but kids are everywhere and there’s a lady with a shopping cart that says “remember if you want help we’re here for you”. But it’s too late and my group of friends have departed. Then I’m able the next day to return the card but we’re all scattered over the deck and can’t sit together there’s so many people. We never do get together to talk about the murders. I woke up before the situation was resolved.

It took me until 10:30 to fall asleep. I had taken a long nap yesterday afternoon and I didn't get up until 3 something. I was listening to music but it was annoying me. My mom had to get me up because I slept until 8. I woke up thinking that I felt great and then I started coughing and realized I still felt blah. But not anxious at least.

It took me about the same time as the night before to fall asleep. But I woke up at 6:30 and I was glad I didn't wake up any earlier because I had a fasting procedure at 9:30 and my throat was dry when I woke up and I really wanted a soda. So waking up any earlier would have been frustrating.

Last night was a toss and turn champion finish. The bed didn’t turn into concrete but it was far too hot. Mum has the temp so high. Then she complains that the utilities are high. Though I feel as if I got no sleep I know I got some, just not enough. Weird dream where a friend got mad at me, then realized it wasn’t me she should be mad at. She had a gigantic house. We were looking for each other but the house was huge.

I went to bed at 7:30 feeling ok but then I woke up an hour later with a bad stomach ache. I had to deal with the stomach ache for awhile but I finally got back to bed around 10 and I kept waking up and then falling back asleep. Finally at 5:30 I just got up.
