Getting woken up when you want a lay in.

I try to go back to bed but usually like you it is the ringing phone or my grand daughter decides to get up before I can get back to bed. It seems that once I am up and I am up for the day. Going back to sleep is out of the question. Happy Mylotting

Well since I live by myself I don't get to worry about all that, but sometimes I do wake up when I am not supposed to and does tick me off.

I feel your burden my friend. My mother is very much the same as like you. We always depend on her. I woke up by a loud sound, but since my mother is there I can simple get back to sleep. Now I realized what my mother is going through. Everytime i read your discussion I always visualize my mother and what she has doing to us. Actually she had given her alland I was striken inside by my conscience. Sad.

Hello jj. If I am waken up, it is not that easy for me to fall asleep again that fast, especially when it is already time to get up. On weekends, I do wish to sleep longer without being bothered for a better rest and sleep.

Yes I will either be awaken by the phone or the doorbell. Once awake there is no going back to sleep for me. That is why I started to sleep with my phone turned off. I would constantly get calls from different "states" at all times of the day, and I have my phone on the "do not call list"

Hee hee. Being a mom of a little one, there is no chance of sleeping in for me!! My hubby goes to work super early in the morning . . . and I want him to sleep in during the weekends because I worry he isn't getting enough sleep during the week. I get decent sleep at night, so I don't mind getting the same amount of sleep during the weekends. My body likes to stay in routine anyway. We have another little one on the way . . . so sleep is going to be different for me (all over again) . . . so we shall see what happens!

I hate being woke up on my days off. I like to sleep in and wake up nauturally.

i haven't slept properly for years,but i do like to try to have a lie in at the weekends,normally i go downstairs at 8ish and get my youngest breakfast then go back to bed til bout 11

I hate this too. I have seen myself, unplug the phone, and switch the bell off, on my door. Problem solved... Selfish, i know, but if i was going to get a call, they will call back, or come back to the house later... I can then, be rest assured, i will not be disturbed...
