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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

I've been catching a very important deadline and because of it, I didn't have that much sleep for the past week. I've had just about three or four hours of sleep. Now, my work's done and though I slept most of the time these past...

Saturday night was no fun. I am backing up my friend Jack at work because he's on vacation and he had a screen change being moved into production. Unfortunately, that means getting up in the middle of the night to validate that...
