I’m spending more time in bed but not more sleep.. I just get so nice and warm I hate to leave lol

But my dogs always want to go out and do their thing. By the time they are back inside I’m too awake and coffee is more appealing.

Sleepy hugs my friends

Yeah, warm beds on cold days are hard to leave. My guy knows when I’m awake in bed and comes to get me up!

Ugh. Worst sleep ever. I took melatonin again, but it didn't do anything. I find that to be a problem with the otc sleep meds...they work great for a night or 2, then stop working. I have to give them a week break before I use them again. Not very helpful, overall.

I have some major chores to do today, my hope is that I'll be able to take a nap later this afternoon. *sigh*

Had taken Ambien every day for 3 weeks so I could sleep while I was fighting covid. Ugh trying not to take it now. Been up 24 hours straight. So tired but having bad anxiety. Throat won't quit feeling tight, so can't relax enough to even lay down.

I fell asleep before 7. I slept pretty much uninteruppted until 5. I woke up breifly around 12 something and I thought I was going to have issues. But I didn't.

I've been sleeping a lot lately.

I slept off and on. I woke often but mostly got back to sleep. Dreamed I went to a huge horror carnival house to sleep overnight with my cousin. There was huge exhibits of past carnivals and places like Walt Disney but they were all outdated and twisted somehow. We kept getting stuck in time loops.

I slept well last night, yet I am so sleepy today. I ordered Simply Sleep tablets from Amazon. They used to be helpful for me, so I'm hoping they'll give me a couple of nights in a row of good sleep. I'm doing laundry now, but I think I will try to nap afterwards. These sleep issues are really getting to me.

Well, I seem to be running on the residue of something, maybe from a dream that had some energy in it. I hope you believe in things like that. My eyes think they want to close. But something else insists that certain things have to be done . Anyway, I am still sleeping for an hour or two & always waking up from a dream that I can seldom remember for more than a few minutes.

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!
