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

Last night I read in bed way too long and shut off the book at 2:30am. Then it took me another hour to get to sleep.

I woke up at 7am and then did some more reading for an hour, then went back to sleep until 2pm.

Not the best way to sleep, since I lose a lot of daylight with a routine like this. I need to work on getting to sleep earlier so i can wake up earlier.

How did you sleep?

Terribly. I went to bed around midnight - stayed up watching the Patriots game. When I went to bed I couldn't seem to warm up at all. My feet were cold - even with fuzzy socks on.

I think I slept about three hours last night. I did manage to grab a two hour nap today so I'm not a complete blithering idiot :-)

Jeanne, sorry to hear about your poor sleep.

I slept well again, if overlong. I don't remember what time i went to bed but i woke up after 1pm.

I have a lot of little lights in here from electronics. I need to figure out how to cover these up. The light from dan's alarm clock really bugs - it's big and glows green - but i can't do anything about that. there are lights in here from:

alarm clock
fan
heater
microwave
dan's toothbrush charger
power strip the fridge plugs into
powerstrip the tv plugs into
dan's various computer things

Peacefully, like always.
Jilly, I love it that you can sleep till late afternoon. I wish even I could.. :-( I usually sleep around till 10am or 11am on weekends and even that is not regular. Sometimes have to get up early at 8am or 9am.

Jodi, just stay up reading til 3am...you'll sleep all day long!

And i actually did stay up that late last night, but managed to get out of bed around 10:30 for once. Yay. Tomorrow I need to bring one of the cats somewhere in the morning - we will see if i can manage this. I will set an alarm in any case.

Oh yes, I'm sure about that if I sleep at 3am. Lol.

But I meant that I work and stuff, so have to get up early. If it was in my hands I would sleep at 12 midnight and yet get up at 12 or 1pm..!

Lol, Jodi.

I turned off the lights at 1am and hoped to get up earlier. I as not able to get to sleep until 2;30 i think...and then woke up a 1pm and had to rush to class.

At least I am trying. A 1am bedtime for me is pretty good.

Was ruminating til 4am. Took an ativan and am ambien. Have not ruminated in awhile, so it felt like a few steps back.

I slept pretty cr@ppy. I could not fall asleep, and then after I finally did go off I kept waking up. I felt so unrested today that I had to take a nap early this evening.

I have a hard time falling asleep and when I finally do I'm an extremely light sleeper. I've basically been this way since I was a teen. Last night was no different. I was up until 4, then woke up at 7. I decided to read a book since my kids weren't up and amazingly drifted back to sleep for 2 more hours, something I never do. I felt guilty because by then all my kids were up without me. They said they didn't wake me because they knew I never sleep. Little sweeties. One thing I've noticed the past few years is my feet go from hot to freezing cold all night long. I wear socks to help with the cold sensations but then within a short time they are too warm. So I kinda have this ongoing tug-of-war with my socks all night long. :P
