Ultimately even if I fall asleep on my side, which is very rare, I will always move to my stomach. Maybe I’ll try some new pillows…again.

I caught a nasty chest cold, which sucks, but that also means I get to add cough syrup to my Sleep Alchemy, and that's rad.

Booze used to make me sleepy, now it makes my heart race. Weed makes me sleep hard but it isn't a good sleep. Melatonin makes me sleep hard as well but makes it hard to wake up. Thing that keeps me up the most is on Sundays when I have to work in the morning and I'm stressing for no actual reason. I don't hate work or dread it either.

Booze makes me pass out but it’s not a good sleep. A 5 mg edible will give me a good nights rest, any more than 5 mg fucks my dreams up too much and I’ll wake up.

I am about to go to sleep soon. I will start by having a light snack of yogurt and water, then I will smoke weed and put on an episode of Cheers, followed by an episode of X-Files and then 30 minutes of reading the book Children of God. I will then attempt to sleep.

Sleep masks are great and very helpful for getting into deep sleep quicker. Especially if you have random glowing lights throughout the house / room. I prefer complete darkness to stat restful sleeping longer CPAP and a black mask are great. It's the only way I can sleep flat on my back which reduced my pains In shoulder and back.

I wake up frequently during the night, usually after dreaming. Is this a symptom of something? I used to fall asleep and maybe wake up once. Now I wake up 4-5 times every night. I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy in my mid twenties, (I am 32) so I might have answered my own question. But I simply am not as tired as I was then, also I now get around 10 hrs of sleep a night which seems to do the trick, I haven't tried going off of 7-8 hrs of sleep for a while. Also I drink a lot of caffeine during the day.

Now I wake up 4-5 times every night. You probably have sleep apnea. Have you ever had this diagnosis? I think you said you were currently in a mental hospital right? I wonder if there is any correlation behind your lack of sleep and your other inflictions. 4-5 times a night is gonna kill your sleep and you are probably not going into deep deep sleep if this is every night. Interesting stuff. You should do a sleep test if it's possible.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:You probably have sleep apnea. Have you ever had this diagnosis? I am and I mentioned that I have fragmented sleep and a past diagnosis of narcolepsy to the psychiatrist when he came by for my certificate of examination, as I am about to see the judge in about a month. He referred me to a physician to refer me again to a neurologist about neuropathy-like symptoms (I suppose I might have conversion disorder) and to hopefully take another mri. I've had a lot of roommates and no one brought up sleep apnea, although one crazy guy who punched me in the head when I was asleep said I was crying out in my sleep.

I've had severe sleep problems since 1987-ish (born 1981). No one cared until I turned 40, just told me to go to be earlier which just led to more time angrily waiting to sleep. Life has been loving garbage, although covid helped because I stopped working and was able to let my delayed sleep phase decide when I go to bed and wake up. But even then, joint pain from a hypermobiliry disorder wakes me up or keeps me up as it always had and I also had a severe anxiety disorder that kept me awake like it had until I went on a high SSRI dose this year after a mental breakdown. I just did a sleep study and I'm going to see someone about potential long-term effects from a childhood brain injury plus probable cervical instability and hopefully maybe someday I'll be able to sleep like a half-normal person. Cross fingers!

Andrew Huberman's podcasts on sleep science have been helpful for me. That's where I discovered the magnesium glycinate + zinc + l-theanine combo that helps me a lot. L-theanine in particular really helps with anxiety during the day as well, and if you drink coffee try adding l-theanine in a 2:1 (theanine : caffeine) ratio to prevent jitters and caffeine crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2aWYjSA1Jc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm1TxQj9IsQ Also, breathwork works wonders for me. The 4-7-8 count (inhale, hold, exhale) pattern before bed helps calm my overactive brain.

What made a difference for me was changing my sleeping environment. I realized my mattress was pretty old and not providing the support I needed, and my pillow was... let's just say it had seen better days. So, I made the decision to invest in a better sleep setup. I got my pillow from [url=]Pluto[/url]. I could really see the difference in how it contoured to my head and neck, providing just the right amount of support without sinking in too much. As for the mattress, I invested in a Casper. I'd heard a ton of great things about them and decided it was worth a shot. I chose the Casper Original Foam mattress because of its supportive memory foam design that’s supposed to help with alignment and relieve pressure. With these changes, it took a little time for my body to adjust, but gradually I started noticing positive changes in my sleep quality.

I sleep really poorly. I just want to say that if you are taking benzos like temazepam to sleep only take it for a short time because you will not be sleeping without it for a while after ceasing to take it. I was a poly drug addict. This included benzos. I got clean in 2014. I have had a couple of slips, nothing really major. After I got clean I started having really bad sleep patterns. Waking up multiple times a night from anxiety dreams that cause me to gasp as I wake up. Even after a decade I still have really vivid using dreams sometimes that cause me to wakeup in the middle of the night and pace around my room until I can calm down. I am a very anxious person and I wakeup easily. I live with an alcoholic. Enough said. Pathenocarpy has it right though. Follow his method. If you snore loudly and wakeup a lot go see a sleep specialist if you can.

My snores sound like a feral hog being spaghettified, and I stop breathing app. 50 times per hour when I'm asleep. Finally getting the Darth Vader apparatus after far too many years, but I wonder if the damage has been done.

Yeah, I know sleep is good you overqualified rear end in a top hat. It's been raining. There's no sun to look at this morning. gently caress you. (Huberman, not you) I get like 5-5.5 hours a night because I work two jobs and my wife has a full course load and a job and we got small kids and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I snore loudly but I only wake up 3/4 times a night based on the snoring app I have (I listen to the recordings). I also don't sound like I'm choking or gasping for air. I do however feel tired throughout the day. Except for a 1-2 hour period at the start I usually feel like I could go straight to sleep if I wasn't at work/ had other things to do. Sometimes if I'm overstimulated getting to sleep can be an issue but reading almost always helps. Getting up in the mornings is straight up Sisyphus struggle though. So since I'm obese (243 pounds at 5'9") I'm thinking it might be the beetus instead causing the tiredness.

I had really terrible sleep patterns in college, like I imagine a lot of people did. Falling asleep anywhere from midnight to 5 am depending on the day, waking up at all different times, eating and drinking right before bed. I never felt rested and looking back I really think I messed up my health pretty badly for a while there. Thankfully now I'm on a pretty solid schedule. For the most part I go to bed at roughly the same time and wake up about the same time during the week, I don't eat anything like an hour before bed, and I avoid caffeine as much as I can in the evenings. No real issues falling or staying asleep any more. On the rare occasion I take a nap I always regret it. I wake up feeling like I travelled through time and space, I'm always hot, and I never feel like I actually gained anything from it.

I've had a hard time sleeping since childhood. The only time I was actually sleeping well was when I was working in ag in the summer and waking up at 430 to work, napping for an hour or two when I got home, and then going to bed for real at 10. It takes being in the sun all day and doing physical labor to shut my brain up. Now I work a 9-5 and have to take melatonin and cannabis nightly or ill spend a few nights a week just staring at the ceiling

I sleep pretty good most nights, but I'd say at least twice a week I have a night where I take a long time to fall asleep and toss and turn half the night, or like last night, feel like I just dreamed too much, poo poo was going on all night and I wake up exhausted.

Quite a few years ago I took a sleep study to figure out my snoring/apnea. Turns out I had it in spades but the monitoring showed I was in normal range for interruptions when I slept on my side. I'm not overweight but they found one of my nasal passages is badly misshapen. They wanted to do surgery but I felt like that was last resort. I tried a CPAP so I could sleep on my back etc but I'd wake up gasping for air every night. Returned it and got this pillow thingy that goes on your back and straps around your waist. After using it for a few weeks I was trained to sleep on my side and have slept way better.

I got one of those memory foam mattresses a few years back and it's not only good for my lovely back but also for sleeping. I've always been a restless sleeper even as a kid so I toss and turn a lot. I also get up to piss a few times a night because I take drugs that make me piss a bit more frequently. None the less I sleep way better than I did with my old mattress that I kept and just put underneath the memory foam one. I hope I never get the sleep acknea it is.

This is kind of a collection of advice and personal observations in no order. How do I train to sleep in a new position without being sleep deprived until my body accepts it as a valid way to sleep? I can't fall asleep in any way except on my stomach. I somehow shift to my side during sleep. But would be nice to learn to fall asleep on my back

If you're doing speedballs I recommend instead doing the stimulants in the morning and the downers in the evening. It's done wonders for my marriage.
