How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[MomOfTwo]

Woke up at 4am after sleeping for less than 4 hours. Could not get to sleep so got up and made my husband his breakfast and lunch for work. My husband told me he panicked when he did not see me in bed. I managed 2 loads of laundry as well. My doctor told me if you are just lying there and not sleeping to get up and do something. I did just that but am now exhausted.

Yet another night of no sleep, I dare not sleep for the nightmares just sit and await for my eyelids to relax.

Since end November I have not had any longer than 2 hours continual sleep. I even laid the opposite way in bed last night so I slept at the base of the bed, so I had more room, but no, nothing, if I get up I disturb hubby because he is naturally a light sleeper.

I am exhausted and have to go to work in about 1 1/2hrs to teach 3 spin classes back to back for a trainer camp we are running :banghead:

DianeB, is it possible you are overtraining? That can cause severe insomnia.

Hope you can get some rest.

 

[DianeB]

The only training I can do at present is verbal. I yearn to be able to exercise properly myself. It in itself is a form of stress relief for me.

I slept about 7-8 hours last night. I am finding it hard to go to sleep. But I am sleeping at night so I am pleased with that.

Last night I turned off all the screens in the house at about 9pm so I could do my before bed routine. I read that going to sleep can be hampered by looking at tvs, computer screens, tablets, smart phones as it inputs light into your eyes and wakes you up. I was so glad I did my before bed routine last night as it is raining today.

I had trouble waking up and getting up as well. Which seems to be an ongoing problem.

Other than the going to sleep problem and the waking up problem I am doing okay with my self at the moment.

Over here on the other side of the pond the time is 11.30pm I did say i was going to bed ages ago, but its the fear holding me back from going upstairs and being brave, when I don't feel ready to be brave.

went at 12.30 - 7.00 no nightmares :) however the longest continual sleep was an hour, so I am yet again exhausted and having to use eye drops now to help me feel a little more awake. Got to teach 20 in spin this morning , and don't feel like teaching 1 :(

Pretty horrible night. Found myself overwhelmed with memories to the point where I was reliving them. Ended up sobbing uncontrollably; felt like my solar plexus and throat were being torn apart from how much my body was being wracked by sobs. Harmed myself. Was in an inconsolable huddle on the couch rocking back and forth for I don't know how long. Ended up calming down while smoking a rollie (rolled cigarette) because I had no energy left to cry the way my body kept wanting to cry. Fell into an exhausted sleep, slept for hours, had extremely anxiety-inducing dreams about people from my past. Bleh.

Shoulderblades, its difficult to read somebody who has shown me care suffer so much. I pray you get some comfort and proper rest tonight. Distant hugs if you want them ;)

I was most upset last night with feeling lonely. The feelings really hit me.

I still slept well during the night. It was good sleep.

 

[shoulderblades]

Distant hugs if you want them

Thanks. I can use all the supportive hugs in the world right now. No doubt a lot of other people here feel the same way. *hugs*

Got about two hours sleep last night. Too damn hot here. It stayed above 30ºC inside the house until well after midnight. Looks like tonight is going to be another stinker, too. :wtf: I've forced myself to stay awake all day so that I'll hopefully collapse into a long and deep sleep tonight.

Up and down all day yesterday, which made working hard last night. I could only work 4 hours. Then its bee up and down all night. Maybe ill sleep today so I can get a good shift in tonight.
