Have you been missing sleep?

Have you been missing sleep? I confess, I took it. I took it all. Last night I went to bed at 7:30 pm. I did not get up until after 5:00 this morning. Then just after 7:00 a.m. I went to take a nap. For two hours. We went to Sam's Club. I slept in the car both coming and going. If you are missing sleep, check with your fellow myLotters. Some of us are getting the sleep that you are missing.

I don't like that at 6am I can see the sun coming up. It feels weird for some reason.

I love it, but I am and always have been an early riser.

@GardenGerty I'm going to admit something silly. I wake up at 5am, but when it's dark outside I feel like I got a head start on the day. So when the sun comes up at 6am, even though I'm awake, I feel like my head start is gone. I'm weird.

@AmbiePam I put blackout curtains in the bedroom for hubby. Seeing the sun actually motivates me to get a move on.

Most people have problems with sleeping later.

@mrki444 Yes. I do not have a computer or a television in my bedroom. I know it is important to try to get off the computer early.

I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. Hopefully, I'll be able to get better sleep soon.

My goodness - are you hoarding our sleep ? I get sleep, but my problem is I have not slept all the way through in years. I seem to wake up every couple hours or so .

Most nights I am up a couple of times. I amnot sure what was going on with me yesterday. I had a headache and was dizzy all day. I try a protein snack at bed time, I think it helps me sleep better.

@GardenGerty Ah, did that protein snack help? If I have a good physical activity day, I might sleep better. But other than that, I have no idea what could make me sleep better.

I finally broke down and took sleeping meds last night, and slept pretty well

I think that is why I suddenly needed it. Mine has been odd.

@GardenGerty I started going to bed way early.and getting up at 4 AM. Then I'd have to struggle to get back to sleep for a couple more hours.

@TheHorse My personal rule is that I will not get out of bed before 4:30. For a while I was doing that.

At first, I thought if we were missing sheep... But yeah, I don't sleep much anymore. But I did have a sorta nap this afternoon (not sure if I was fully asleep).

If I was living alone I would likely sleep about four hours at a time, then get up and be busy then grab another four. I would not eat meals, but just easy stuff like soup, salad and sandwiches.

Wow, you certainly had your share of sleep. Now it's darker and colder, we're not getting up quite so early.

I do not know, but it may be that we had all that weather moving in that made me sleepy.

I have been having a very hard time falling asleep at night. But this happens to me every summer. I just want to experience the cool weather and that is only at night haha

Yes, you live where it gets quite hot. I think the longer daylight hours would make me wakeful as well.
