How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[DharmaGirl]

Last night I didn't sleep. I painted some furniture, did some household things. I did laundry and when it became light, I weeded in my raised bed garden and watered all 3 gardens in the back. Then went to bed at 8am. So much for sleep hygiene, lol. I did sleep until 11am, so I got some sleep. I now have to water the front two gardens. No wonder I spend so much time weeding.

I have worked through when unable to sleep like @dharma Girl; so I too am relieved even if early a.m. to finally get a few sleep hours. So relate.

Slept about 4 1/2 hrs. last night. (Exhausted).

About 6 hrs last night and (drumroll)... 8 hrs the night before. Taking Benadryl has helped. I’d rather not, but I need sleep.

Good for you @Ninja!

About 4 hrs. (ugh!).

Sleeping way to much, average of 12 hours a night

Not so well. On the red couch in front of the TV. Went to bed really late.

I had a recurring nightmare. Only this was the first time I awakened with a body memory. I had anal pain. I suddenly sat straight up in bed and nearly screamed. I haven't had that kind of reaction to a nightmare in 30 years. Fortunately and because of my magnesium oil, I was able to go back to sleep.

Because of vertigo I've been sleeping on the recliner for a few months now - keeps the dizziness down but makes my neck sore (and gives me tension headaches) and my back a little weird.

Stayed up way too late watching Game of Thrones so totally my own fault. Tried to nap but too nervous so only got 15 mins this afternoon.

I'm with @Ninja - don't want to take drugs but I may resort to it just to calm my nerves enough to sleep better.

Waking every half hour. On couch. Not high quality sleep.

5-6 hrs. I tried without Benadryl. Light sleep and woke up early. Tired and want to sleep but unable.

'bout 4 hours again (no drugs/alcohol (used to be) on board - except thyroid)...would rather be (at least for time being) drug free than deal with earlier side effects from "sleep" drugs I took that indeed even further exacerbated serious insomnia ongoing problems.
