How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[ms spock]

No leg cramping last night which is just great. It's been terrible cramps in the night. I am taking my medication earlier and go to bed earlier and getting up earlier which is really good.

I’m really abusing of the sedatives, but I’ve had some amazing sleep. I do regret the mattresses in this apartment to be so awkward, but no nightmares, no nothing!

I always fall asleep on the couch with the tv on. Then get into bed in the early hours.

Actually, I didn't sleep last night. It was a night of total and complete insomnia.

Ugh! That sucks. You must feel exhausted.

Yes, @Survivor3 it did suck for a while and I did feel exhausted, until about an hour ago when I fell asleep and got a short nap.

Ugh! I hate nights like that. Often times I sleep well the night after one of these sleepless nights. Do you notice a pattern to your insomnia?

I had a good night's sleep last night and the night before, which is just amazing for me.

I woke at 1am and 4am when B got up but went back to sleep. I slept well. I did an hour of Mindful Walking yesterday. I am trying to up my physical activity.

Do you notice a pattern to your insomnia?

@woodsy1, thanks for asking. I think I have discovered part of my sleeping difficulties. I am deficient in Vitamin D and vitamin B-12 and have recently started getting that treated. But to answer your question; I hadn't really noticed a pattern until I looked at my sleep history (that's recorded on my C-pap website.) It seems I sleep a lot for a few days and then have several nights when I will only sleep for about 3 hours. then the cycle repeats. For instance, I slept 10 and 1/2 hours last night, tonight I might sleep 2-4 hours or so.

Sounds similar to my sleep. Very interesting. Have you looked into your cortisol levels?

Have you looked into your cortisol levels?

Actually no, is there like a blood test for that? I could ask my primary care physician.
