When is the last time you really got a good night's rest?

Hi AmbiePam If I didn't take sleep aid pills then I would have a terrible time of sleeping at night. I am able to go to sleep but I can't stay asleep. I would have to say that last night was not a bad night. I only woke once and went right back to sleep. Hope you have a good christmas and as always keep smiling.

I didn't sleep well myself. I think I went to sleep after 3 am and woke up after 10 am. I wake up to easy. I hope I get to sleep good when I go to bed tonight.

I am not sure when that was. I am glad you had a very restful night last night, because that goes a long way to eliminating pain.

That was last MOnday. I went home at 6pm after work. I usually going home at 8pm or 7pm the earlier after work. But since just last Sunday was our Christmas party, i was too tired to went to the office last Monday and I planned to go home as early as possible. I ate already and I did not watch television when I went home, what I do was to lie on my bed and close my eyes. I totally gave in to sleep at 8:30 pm. When I woke up in the morning I was very refreshed and I felt stronger. I even played with my kittens when I woke up, we run around the house. I felt I was energizer. Based on my experience, we really need a complete sleep to be able to perform well for everyday. Just last night I slept at 10pm, and now I am little energize and excited in posting responsing.

Now I am getting home ,everyday I got nothing but plenty of sleeping,It is really a kind of enjoyment for me to sleep ..... Hope my dear friend well .. Molly;)

Hey Ambie! I have no idea when the last time I got a good night's sleep, if ever! I would give anything for at least one! I sometimes think I am getting one, but when I get up I am still exhausted! I think it might have something to do with my meds, but am not sure! I have serious Insomnia and I just can't sleep through the night! My problem is waking up every hour and then having trouble getting back to sleep sometimes! And if I really can't sleep I get up and walk around or try to read! If that doesn't work I end up tossing and turning and staring at the clock! And then I stay in bed most of the day to make up for my loss of sleep!

Before I had a kid... Once you have children, you can more or less forget having a good night's sleep for the next twenty years or so. If I just get uniterrupted sleep, that is s major acheivement - to actually have a good night's rest seems just like some sort of unatainable goal...

What a coincidence that you post this discussion today because last night was the first time in at least 6 years I have slept more than 5 or 6 hours. I was pretty tired from all the Christmas broohaha and my Oncologist check up (good news) that I actually slept for 9 hours. Boy oh boy do I feel great today!

unfortunately, i seriously cannot remember the last time i have had a good nights sleep and woke up in the morning feeling really refreshed. i think it was in the summer. i have a plethora of health issues that interrupt my sleep most of the time.

Hi AmbiePam! It's been a while since I really did not have a good night's sleep. Sometimes, I have to sleep late so I could work on some papers but have to wake up early the next day because I have to go to work early. There are also times when even if I sleep early, have to wake up the next day. I think I have been used to this routine that sometimes I do not even become THAT happy when I get to sleep for eight or more hours. Anyway, I am lucky because I have been sleeping for more hours since Saturday night since I do not have to worry about waking up early at least for the next two weeks. This is so because I am off work for that long. Yipee!

Hi, AmbiePam, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. For getting a good night sleep I can say lately I have been sleeping good at night. For some reason a few months ago I could not sleep well at night. Then I started studying the Word of God, doing devotions and attending church regularly and the sleep started coming. I am saying God was trying to tell me something. And He did. Now I am sleeping like a baby at night.

This past Sunday night I got a really good night's rest. I work night shift and usually work about 5 nights a week, so I'm usually pretty exhausted. I don't often have more than one night off in a row lately, which makes it hard to ever really catch up on my sleep. This past weekend I was off both Saturday and Sunday nights. I slept well Saturday because I was so exhausted, but Sunday was really the day I enjoyed my sleep! I wasn't so exhausted that I didn't move (and therefore woke up with a sore back like I did on Sunday morning). I just had a really great sleep and woke up feeling very refreshed! It will probably be another few weeks now before that will happen again, but I'll be looking forward to it!

It's been a long time for me.I have trouble sleeping.I don't get enough rest.I think I have trouble sleeping because I have worries in my head,and I feel depressed the way things are for me.I have an appointment with a doctor,but it's for after the holidays.I'm trying to be patient and wait for it.I feel terrible right now.

for me I think it would have had to be about 8 years ago. Since I moved and got a new mattress I have never been able to sleep well anymore. I just can't sleep well on a hard mattress but i really don't have any money for a better one.

I ran out of benadryl last week and I've been having terrible nights sleeps, but I finally got some and the last 2 nights have been great!

Glad u got a good night's rest. I have a time sleeping always have. I have been up since 3:0 this morn. Some days i will go back to bed but want be able to today because my grandson is coming to saty w/me & i have things to get done before my dinner tomorrow night.

I am here on Christmas Day doing a couple of posts, and I mean only a couple, while I wait to get ready to go and see my mother and sister. Last night I decided to sleep in today with it being Christmas and all but no, not to be; my daughter was up at 5.45 to open her presents. I can say that I was having the best night's rest I've had in a long time until she woke me! I just needed a couple of extra hours....

Hi ambiePam: there was a time when I found it very difficult to fall asleep and I would read a book for a long time sometimes even after midnight. But since of late, I dont know why, I fall asleep very fast. After reading a page or two I find I'm reading the same thing over and over again, which means I am sleepy. Its actually a nice feeling although I do take a longer time to finish my book. Falling asleep easily means I get up refreshed and ready to take on the world. That means a lot, I can tell you.

I think the last time when I slept throughout the night after a year(yes after a year) when my husband offered to sleep in the toddler's room,otherwise he has a tendency to wake up atleast twice or thrice at night
