BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Stress Management How did you sleep last night?

debbie, i am so glad you found a solution to house your horses. it hurts to not be able to care for your pets. It must be a huge relief to have that off your shoulders. That should help you sleep.

The horse situation is up in the air right now, Jilly. The farm owner is holding my horses hostage at the moment. Long story, and by Friday there had better be resolution or I will have to get the authorities involved.

I did not sleep well a few nights ago. I woke up at 2:30am and I was awake for two hours because my brain would not shut off. I was so tired yesterday because of it.

I slept better last night, but I never feel truly rested anymore even when I sleep enough. I just have a lot going on.

I was unable to sleep at all last night. I feel as though it has a direct relation to allowing my meditation practice to become irregular and infrequent over the past two weeks. I'm also in the first trimester of a pregnancy, and experiencing all of the aches that come through growing pains. It seems likely that decreased relaxation and increased stress play chaotic circles with each other creating a web with the propensity to delay or eradicate sleep.

Tonight I plan on meditating, taking a hot bath, and putting on some lavender oil to help relax me and bring sweet dreams.

i always sleep well when I take an ambien, so i don't know if that counts as 'sleeping well'. Does it?

I Always Have time to sleep as Very Punctual . Last night I go to bed at 11 pm and have good Sleep .

Jilly, if it's getting you the rest you need...just be careful - we love you!

For me, the last 2 nights I have totally passed out around 10:30 which is unusual for me. Not only that, I slept straight through until I woke up at 6:15. The first night, I still had the television remote in my hand when I woke up. I was in the exact same position as to when I went to sleep which was unusual, usually I'm at the total opposite side of the bed.

Hello, i am glad to talk with you here, it's so bad that i can't sleep well at night , because the big pressure,and i must get up early in the morning , to go to work. So recently , i felt so tired...wuwu....

Definitely I find if I exercise during the day, wind down with a hot bath and soothing aromas, and then journal away any looping thoughts, that I sleep more easily. So for me a routine does help.
