I slept pretty good last night. I fell asleep right before 6. I was up for maybe half an hour at 11. Then I had to really pull myself out of bed this morning at 6. I chugged a Mountain Dew for the caffeine, not because I really wanted to drink one, so I could wake up. It worked so now I feel fine.

I slept pretty much uninterrupted from 6PM something until 4AM something. I woke up for about 5 minutes at 11 but I got back to sleep right away.

love all of this food, comfort food. love pecan pie but have not eaten it because it is not on my diet.
how have you been sleeping?

I fell asleep around 6 I think. Then I woke up at 9. I forget how long I was up for, maybe 45 minutes. Then I slept until 7.

I fell asleep before or around 7. I woke sometime during the night freezing and feeling very sick. I had to get all my blankets and take more cough syrup. Then I fell back asleep until 4 something.

I had a horrible dream. I was on a boat & huge stormy ocean was coming at me from both sides & I was begging for the people on the beach in front of me to help me, but they couldn't & just then I woke up, very emotionally painful. The ocean was so real.

I fell asleep before 6. I woke up around 8 confused and with night sweats. I woke up at 11 but I got back to sleep at 12 and slept until 4 something. It was a mixed night.

Started my job yesterday. So I was beat last night. Solid 8 hours !

Do you all sleep better when it’s warm or cold ? I sleep so much better when I’m able to snuggle into blankets. Best sleep ever !

Hugs !

Oh for sure, cold room under a bunch of blankets is best. I usually have a fan on regardless of the time of year. But I snapped the stem on my fan. No way to fix it, so I just ordered a new one. Till then I’m struggling with the stale air. Last night was cool enough but the air was static, but I did take a whole ambien, so I did sort of sleep. Weird dream you would have liked Christina! I was on a plane flying to different cities in Europe, getting off here and there for dinner. At one point nobody had enough to eat so they gave us containers of peas( England maybe?) something to do with flowers and dinner theater. They brought out water with guppies in it for the men to drink to prove their love for their wives! The bowls with the guppy water was so vivid!

It was a better night than I expected. Fell asleep around 8:30 and woke up at 2am on the dot. I couldn't fall back asleep, and was thinking I might end up starting my day way too early. Thank goodness that didn't happen! Fell asleep a short while later, and even dreamed a bit (though the dream is fading from memory) before waking up a good 5-6 hours later.

Not perfect, but not bad either!

I actually do remember the dream now. Writing about it jogged my memory. More of a recurring nightmare and/or adventure dream. I've had versions of this since I was a teenager.

I'm being chased by your ghoulies, ghosties, monster of the week types, but I have an ace up my sleeve. If I turn and face the monster and focus, I can make it stop in its tracks. The issue: I always have multiple monsters chasing me, but I can only really focus on one. If I break that focus, the monster starts moving again, seemingly faster than before. The dream always ends with me face to face with one of the monsters, just hoping the others are far enough away. I blink and I wake up.

Leave it to my subconscious to make the typical chase dream so much more complicated and stressful!

I receive a text on my phone each time some motion is detected around my home. It’s been waking me up at various times between 1-5 am and then I can’t get back to sleep. I want to be texted so I can call the cops in my town but it sure is wearing me out. I hope they catch this guy soon.

Sunflower I’m so sorry your are waking up from the alerts but it’s good yo know the alarm system is working. Hope whoever is doing that goes away or more so arrested!

Nammu ~ give me one of your amazing dreams.

~~~~~

I forgot my night meds last night so I flip flopped like a fish out of water . I will not forget them tonight. We are getting a cold front which always flares me up this week I’m not reading to start dripping faucets!

Here’s to use all getting good sleep tonight

Christina I wrote about last nights dream in the check in thread. It was amazing. No great flying or anything but the feeling of calm and acceptance was great.

I slept without melatonin for once. My stomach hurt badly so I figured I'd try to sleep without it. And it worked. I slept from 8 until 5.

Hope your fan gets to you tomorrow!

My sleep is garbage. Bronchitis and wheezy 24/7 . Steroid make my sleep a joke. So I took an Ambein and hope to sleep. I have to work tomorrow so I really need rest.
