Goodnight Irene or I cant sleep!

"Q" of the day..
How well do you sleep?

I used to go to bed and sleep straight thru till morn. Oh,maybe a good 7hrs.
For whatever reason,the last 6-8months (before back pain) I dont seem to sleep more than a couple hrs and I wake up.
Toss and turn,get up go try the other bed, try the couch and all that jazz. The other night I was up from 1:30am till 2:45 anyways,2:45 was the last time check.
Tried noise,radio,tv,ect. I do run a fan and have for years and years. I dont get what has changed to cause this disorder.

Something on your mind.

White noise.

...like crap but I don't let it bother me anymore, it is what it is. Being disabled and not on anyone's schedule it doesn't matter when I sleep as long as I get enough in a 24 hour period. 24 hour internet and shopping make that possible. I seem to prefer living at night though. One of my meds make me sun sensitive and I'm a musician so...

Being an overweight 27 yr old kid...like crap! Between the acid reflux and my propensity to think way too much mixed and getting off of work at 11pm, sleep @ 4am, and several reflux wake-up calls, sleep was is a myth!!

Scotty Dog, have you been evaluated for "Sleep Apnea"?

Not yet. Im thinking maybe it would be a good idea to get checked. One thing I read that kinda makes me think I could have Apnea,is I pee alot. Im not worried about prostrate cuz I PEE and always have PEED when I had to pee.No trouble going.
Read that when you stop or slow breathing,the heart pumps more becuase of low oxygen ,so then inturn,the body thinks it has got to much fluid,so it dumps some.
Something like that.
The human body is crazy complex. Whats on me mind causing this.....**** if I know.Now I need a shrink..ba ha wa ha...

I cannot seem to get truly comfortable in any position in bed, and I wake up often. We have a memory foam matress that was $3000 ten years ago. But still it hurts me to lie down in any one position for too long. I feel for you.

Sorry to hear that. I had the reflux thing years ago..funny,I got off the booze and I dont think Ive eating a dozen rolaids in the last 18 years. I can eat anything and everything these days. I use to buy so many (packs rolaids)at this store,they gave me their display..it was a full size plastic baseball helmet that said.."Rolaids Relief Man".

It might be time to cut down on caffeine and take a warm cup of milk or hot chocolate before bedtime.

No caffeine in my diet. Gave it up when I had my GI Bleed. Used to be 24-7 coffee drinker..never bothered me when I did drink it. In fact,they say after the first 30 cups, it then becomes s sedative.... :yawn:

I do a lot of contract work so I sleep great if I'm working and sleep like crap if I'm not. Must have something to do with paying a mortgage.
