How well do you sleep? I need more/better sleep

[HST4ME]

Some odd years ago I replaced sleep with anxiety attacks.

 

[rrrr]

I used earplugs for a long time when I was on swing shift they seem to help me. I try to have at least two hours between eating and going to bed as well. And like others have said if I’ve been drinking I can’t sleep for shit anymore.

I sleep with the CPAP gear, earplugs, and a Lucy Ricardo face mask covering my eyes. I'm sure it looks pretty stupid, but I sleep well.

 

[rrrr]

I apologize for the book I'm about to write, but I've learned a lot about my sleeping issues in the past year.

This looks like one of my posts.

Maybe should have read mine! -- Have you been checked for sleep Apnea??

Sounds like you have a severe case of sperm retention syndrome? Use your Google fu to research ways of overcoming it.

You will end up sleeping like a Joey in a pouch.

As said here already, go get a sleep study done!!!! They will see where the problems are and put you on the path to better sleep. DO IT !!!

Hit the weights, stop the caffeine by 2pm, 20 mins in the massage chair, glass of wine, melatonin, no tv an hour before bed, sexy time, and read.
I sleep like a rock.

It a routine, but I have a constant loud ringing in my ears. If I wake even the slightest, I'm up.

No body has recommended propofol?? Seemed to work well for Michael. I have good days and bad days of sleep. Advil pm work well but wake up groggy.

Tried melatonin, chamomile, even white noise machines, nothing really stuck. Turned out most of my sleep issues were anxiety-related. I started using a low-dose, medical-grade option from a UK clinic that specializes in cannabis for anxiety and it’s honestly been the most effective thing I’ve tried. No grogginess, no wild dreams, just calmer nights.

I have been sleeping like a baby sans one mid night pee need , Partly cause my adorable petite Wife isnt snoring like a freight train ( after a half dozen medical tests ) and a sleep study) and a whisper quiet CPap additionally my Doctor gave me a script for Trazadone wake up a bit groggy but worth it

Not sure why but I always go straight to sleep about 9:30, and wake up at 3ish AM almost every night. No matter what. Exercising, drinking, not drinking, it doesn't matter. 80% of the time I'll fall back asleep to my normal wake up time of 6:30 or so. Sometimes I'll just lie there til the sun comes up, same routine for years. Very rarely do I sleep through the night......

I’m tired after about 10. Drinking, not drinking doesn’t matter. I used to stay up till 1/2 watching tv or drinking on the weekends. It’s hard now. Wake up usually right before 6. Unless something wakes me earlier and then I struggle falling back asleep. 6 though, it’s over. Even if I have nothing to do or anywhere to be. I can’t fall back asleep. My wife can sleep all day.

This was Me for years , partly because of needing to drain my bladder and then I couldnt go back to sleep (mind racing)

15-20 mg of melatonin and I'm out!
Sometimes lidocaine roll on is needed for hands, then I'm really out.

GABA and Gummies (10thc-10cbd-10cns) I can only take 1/2 gummy, whole gummy was a bad experience for me. I'm a light weight.

This combo has been the best sleep for me, non stop, 7-8 hours.

regular exercise
