Do you ever struggle with sleeping?

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,141]

Just last night, downed a white cherry Gatorade, ate some cheese chips, then the cold came in and the results weren't pretty

I used to have a lot of problems sleeping, but after a while i learnt that listening to youtube vids or audio books rlly helps me sleep.

I get like an HR or 2 tops, I really struggle with getting a good night's sleep, and it's even worse now that I have to sleep with my back elevated bc of my esophagus and stomach problems. Hellish, wish I could get 8-10 hrs lol

Not typically; it;s just getting to bed is the problem as I tend to be a night owl. In addition, waking up is more a problem for me lol.

I don't know, lately I've been sleeping pretty well. 

[Zilko94 42]

My body has a strict time clock. I wake after after 5hrs of sleep no matter what. So I have to sleep at midnight to wake up at 5am.

[ExplosionMare 21,353]

Lately I've been struggling a little bit because I've been having weird dreams. My brain has enjoyed lately taking seemingly innocent parts of my day and turning them into a dark or confusing mess. 

[Clawdeen 20,362]

All the time. I rarely sleep well

[KPackratt 695]

I struggle with sleeping most of the time. For some reason, I find it easier to fall asleep in the afternoon as opposed to at night on certain days.

[Clawdeen 20,362]

People actually get sleep?

[Starlight Serenade 3,855]

Yup! I run on a few hours of sleep at times, but lately I'm trying some new things that are slowly changing that.

[Snoopy Fan 7,875]

Sometimes. There have been a lot of times where I wake up at 2:00 in the morning for no reason.

I have for the majority of my life. Fortunately, I've been on medication for it since 2022 and it has helped a fair bit. I can actually achieve the recommended eight hours that alluded me for so long!!

I think I’ve replied to a thread that was similar to this one before. Either way, I always struggle with falling asleep. On a good night it takes me maybe 20-30 minutes to actually fall asleep. On a bad night it’s multiple hours. And when I do get to sleep I have a hard time waking up. Which I guess is better than struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep?

Thankfully not too often, it really does bite the nights that I do end up laying awake for ages. Of course those are usually the nights I have an especially early wake up fast approaching.

That’s rough man, very glad that you can at least stay asleep, I feel especially bad for the light sleepers.

Gee, I’m super glad to hear you’ve had that success man! Sleep ain’t no joke so that is an awesome improvement.

When do I not struggle with sleep is the real question 

[OverTheStars 318]

When I was little I had a lot of issues with sleeping. I hated going to bed for that reason since I'd just be laying in the dark bored. Nowadays I fall asleep really quick and sleep like a rock for a little, but then wake up way too early and struggle with getting back to sleep.

Sometimes depends on if I want to think about stuff or not.

[River Rush 19]

Yes.

Every time I close my eyes I'm pledged by the memories of traumas past. Some don't care, some disregard and tell me to push through. At the end of the day I'm drained, tired, and want enteral sleep. I love my job, and the jobs I've had in the past, but the things I've done, seen, and been through make it difficult. The constant ringing in my ears, and the deafening sound that the silence brings is enough to keep up the heaviest sleeper. I find myself thinking of all the good I've done and look toward the good I know I can do, and finally I can sleep.
