There are times I find it difficult to get to sleep - and to stay asleep. I am often at the mercy of my bladder, getting up at least a couple of times during the night. One of those times is around 4am. This week, it was about an...

no love for DST

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 12 Mar 18

I've never been a fan of the switch to Daylight Savings Time, but ever since was extended from March to November instead of running from April to October, the transition has been especially jarring. The Monday following the first...

This is probably insomnia

Nnaemeka @mydanods (6513) • Nigeria 5 Feb 18

Sleep deprivation is not a good thing. The body needs rest in order to function well. For some days now, I have not been sleeping well. Let me say, for a week now. I go to bed at around 11pm and find that I wake up at 2am, deep in...

Today was a dangerous day for me.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 7 Mar 17

From 5 am when I went to try to sleep, until about 2 pm, I kept waking up. I would sleep for 5 minutes, sometimes up to 20 but I was awake soon after. That's dangerous in and of itself. However, I'd pop a cough drop in my...

Precious Sleep

When I was a little girl, I hate being told that it’s bed time. When I was in college, I swear I can function even with a couple of hours’ sleep after a night of studying and playing video games. Now that I am older, I will not be...

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 12 Apr 16

I woke up at around 4 pm Monday and took two naps in between, each nap only lasting around 20 minutes. I was going to see a friend this morning and so I wanted to sleep a little bit but not enough to knock me off my schedule. We...

A screaming baby is no fun

BellaDoc @BellaDoc (762) • San Diego, California 24 Nov 15

Our almost one year old son does not like his sleep. He'll only nap in someone arms, occasionally a carrier and often if the car is moving but for never more than 20 minutes. Nighttimes are disastrous for all of us. For years I...

Sleep deprivation - not getting enough sleep

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 2 Oct 12

Many of us complain that we are tired all the time, but how many of us really know if it caused by lack of sleep. If you go to bed and can't sleep yes you know, or if somebody keeps you awake all night you know. But do you know...

Ironic isn't it? I really feel sleepy but when I try to close my eyes, I can't fall asleep. My mind is running. What should I do to keep my mind quiet so I can have a peaceful sleep?

Is It Time For A New Bed? Mine Is Uncomfortable. :-(

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 10 Jan 11

I am a great believer in that a decent bed equals a restful sleep. I would never have a television in a bedroom, as an example. Just the bed and some furniture lol. However, when that bed is a tad lumpy I reckon it...
