i am a dysfunctional sleeper........

i used to have great trouble getting to sleep, and i still do but it's getting better. I could be dead tired from sport or work or whatever but i have an inability to turn my brain off so will lay there awake until my noggin winds down. When i was 19-23 this was a nightmare. I would go to bed at 9.30 and get up at 6.30 and only have 4-5 hours sleep. Concequently i would fall asleep at my desk, i would sneak off to the toilets for a nap, or i would tell my boss that i was going for a nap and sleep out the back warehouse on the floor on my lunchbreak. Thank fuck this is getting better and that only happens once a week or so now.

I love powernaps too. I can be stuffed and barely functioning i'm so tired, but if i have a 5 min powernap im good to go again. Love 'em.

Aside from that im a prety good sleeper. Sleep on my sdie and turn over a few times a night. If i have nothing on the next day (or if the wife is working on the weekend) then i am known to sleep until 2.30 or 3pm with no trouble.

However my wife is a freak who has a resting body temperature that is very close to the surface of the sun, she also likes to talk.......and i mean TALK, in her sleep. Giggles, yells, she even calls the frigging dogs up onto the bed in her sleep! This is done on a nightly basis so some nights in my household can be interesting. She moves around a lot as well, throws arms and legs all over the place. I often find myself sleeping as close to the edge of our bed as can be as she has taken over. Now she's pregnant and got one of those big body pillow things she has pretty much claimed the whole bed as her domain......

......damn those doggy beds sure look comfy.......
