general How do you sleep?

[CastletonSnob 3,080]

Just in general, how do you sleep? I ask this because sleep is so important for good health.

On my left side curled in a ball on the floor

[Gamer_KM 90]

Horribly,between work and school I only sleep 3 hours at a time

[CastletonSnob 3,080]

So, a couple of years ago, I started exercising to sleep better. But, I'm not sure it's helped, as I still have trouble sleeping at least once a week. I also don't remember how many nights I had trouble sleeping before I started exercising, because I didn't keep a chart. I've had trouble sleeping at least 2 nights a week for the past 3 weeks.

[PiratePony 8,486]

I sleep a solid 8 hours per night with random nights where I sleep 3 or so based on watching stupid youtube videos for hours into the night. I also tend to wake up about 10 minutes before my alarm clock goes off, which is nice.

Besides exercising, are you physical enough throughout the day? Also, if you try and get yourself in a regular sleep schedule (yeah "adult bed time" and wakeup time), it should start syncing your body. Plus, if all else fails, you can talk to your doctor and try to make an appointment with a sleep specialist...although a couple nights a week isn't too bad. 

 

Plus if you're laying there worrying about it, that might be a big contributor. Restless brains keep bodies from sleeping.

I probably don't have insomnia?

I don't know. I'm not a doctor. From a lay person's perspective, it seems just a little restless. And I've had times like that myself. Usually it's from what I've described.

 

• Not being physical enough throughout day.
• Having a wonky sleep schedule.
• Worrying about not falling asleep.
• Worrying about other crap. 
• Staring at electronic devices in the dark (phones, etc.)

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

I hop in bed, tuck under my sheets and/or blanket (unless it's summer) and...yep, that's it. I usually wake up on the same side I slept at. Sometimes there might be a pillow on the floor, though.

I go to bed at 10:30, I exercise at least 40 minutes a day, and I turn off electronics an hour before going to bed.

Might be worry then. Try to think about other things and not worry about not falling asleep. If it persists, talk to your doctor about it. 

[SilyGeny 369]

I sleep usually around 11pm or midnight.

 

I tend to sleep on my belly in a hug kinda position with my pillow. It makes me feel less lonely 

[Spark Thunderbass 1,445]

I often sleep for nine hours while laying down on my chest. I don't really like sleeping on my back.

[Selfie Snapshots 253]

Like a Champ lol
how else?

[Trinitron Keys 89]

On my side, bent into a lightning bolt. Occasionally I have trouble sleeping through the whole night but that's usually when I've got something important to do tomorrow.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,975]

My sleeping pattern varies, but when I do fall asleep, I am usually on my side, I switch sides a few times before actually falling asleep. Surprisingly, I usually do not have much trouble sleeping and I usually sleep at lest 8 hours or so, but if my anxiety is going really bad, then I may not be able to sleep at first. 

[CastletonSnob 3,080]

I take a sleep formula with 2 mg of melatonin 2 nights a week for the past 3 weeks.

I'm worried my body will stop producing melatonin on its own.

[ARagY 1,152]

On my side usually. I can sleep on my back if I'm super tired. 

[Jokuc 8,174]

I usually sleep on my stomach and sometimes on my side. I always sleep in bed with a pretty flat pillow since it's much better when you're sleeping on your stomach like I do. Sadly I rarely ever get enough sleep but I try to catch up with the time I lost during certain nights. I tend to sleep naked, sometimes in underwear but I put on a pajamas or something when it's a bit cold (:

 

dem statistics tho

[Gestum 2,493]

Sleeping is so easy for me that I can do it in my sleep.

On either side, with an extra mini-blanket, and an army of stuffed animals that it would be cruel to get rid of watching me/buried in the cracks between the wall and my bed.

 

I sleep far too much and need to cut it to 9 hours max. I hear 7 is the new 8 though.

[Kiri 7,291]

I sleep on my stomach with the covers pulled over my head, though I leave an open space for the lower half of my face so I can breathe.

[immortal storm 52]

i sleep on my left side facing the wall sometimes on top of the covers. Just saying

[AngelsNight 164]

Dont ask how i go to bed on my back and wake up with my knees in my stomach.
