Poll How Do You Sleep

[Silent_Struggler]

I like to sleep with the doors closed and with my partner on the side of the bed that is closest to the door; this is one of my stipulations if we go away on holiday also. I feel much safer that way. It has also taken me a long time to learn to sleep without ear phones in my ears, playing loudly enough that I can't hear any sounds in the room because otherwise every little noise would get my heart racing and me up trying to work out what made the sound. I now listen to relaxation apps on my phone to help me sleep and hopefully improve my general well-being, but this is relatively new to me so I don't know if they make much difference yet.

I live alone so I only close and lock the windows and outside doors. It is uncomfortable in the summer though. I miss feeling safe and having a window open at night.

I keep an audio book or the radio on all night and have a nightlight in each room.

I keep the doors closed these days. I used to keep them all open for years so that I could see down the stairs. Good field of fire and all that, huh?

You know, I'm beginning to think my problems aren't as recent as I'd first thought...

I slept good and I slept in, yay for me.

Well I am feeling a little less weird so thank you. :)

The door part is not so important to me. I would leave the door open if I could. But I need to sleep close to the front door and not in the bedroom. I sleep in the livingroom on the sofa and with the light and tele on. When things are bad one of the only places I can sleep is at work.

Other than not liking the concept of the bedroom I feel trapped there.

I really need to get a white noise machine...:/

I found some free apps for this on my iPhone, I imagine they exist for other smartphones as well. FYI.

I don't sleep much or well. Doesn't matter what the set up. If I'm not heavily drugged, I can go over 48 hours with no sleep. Not that I'm functioning at that point.

I slept good, but I had a nightmare. I was doing so good. I do not like this at all.
