Uuuh- my husband caught me sleep walking again. It's back...... I was feeling like I wasn't well rested even though I'm my usual dead tired......Aparently he caught me standing at the front door looking out. (it's mostly glass) How creepy. He thought I got up to go to the bathroom and he had to go....so he waited and waited until he found me staring out of the front door window...he was good and led me back to bed. That creeps me out. Because I have no recollection of it.

I usually fall asleep to Colbert at 9:30 and get to the bed one way or the other.....

I sleep weird.

Start out on my back, feet sticking out from under the covers (my feet are usually too hot, at least in summer). At some point I turn over and sleep on my stomach. Critters sometimes nibble on my fingers; I move my hands under the covers if they wake me up.
We finally got a ceiling fan two years ago -- I find it very hard to sleep without moving air (unless it's the dead of winter). We also got a latex foam mattress after our old inner-spring jobbie died -- it's infinitely better, and will last 20+ years.
Oh, and I wear scrubs as PJs.

I think it's interesting that those noise maker things are common place over there.

I don't know anyone here that uses one.

Ibram, you're too young to be a peeping tom. How'd'you get that pic of me asleep?

Uisge Beatha · 08-02-2007, 07:38 PM

Sleep is a pretty simple and straightforward thing for me. I have a fairly solid and consistent internal clock; I get tired about the same time each night and hit the sack. I toss and turn quite a bit in my sleep (I always have done so), and I alternate between sleeping on my back or side. I sleep through most noises, but have troubles getting back to sleep if something does wake me. Getting up with the alarm has never been a problem, and for the past few years I've been one of those 'wake five minutes before the alarm' types.

Ibby · 08-03-2007, 02:19 AM

Music, all night, is a must. Music goes off, I wake up. Pissed.

Also use the G-Force Visualizer plugin for iTunes, which is fun to trip out and/or meditate to before I pass out.

Sometimes I can't sleep without checking the cellar. no joke. I lay there and toss and turn until I make sure there arent any new cellar posts.

jester · 08-03-2007, 10:47 AM

I start on my back, roll to the right, shift to lay on my stomach, at which time my lower back will start hurting, flip to my left side and then to my back again. The room needs to be cold, cause I like a lot of covers (i so love the winter time), and I need some type of noise (not crickets, i would go insane and not a ceiling fan cause i can hear the repetitive whirling noise, like if it's off balance). And my toes stick out from underneath the covers too - it's like i'm trapped or something.

Like a baby. The guilt doesn't get to me at all ...

oh. you meant something else.

I am an unruly sleeper, front, back, sides, sprawly.

Madman · 08-03-2007, 12:16 PM

My kind of thread...

1. Rarely have a problem sleeping. Go to bed, close my eyes and the next thing I know that freaking alarm clock is going off.
2. I like to channel surf through all the stations first. I am glad I don't get very many channels on the TV in the bedroom.
3. Side sleeper. One arm under pillow and one wherever.
4. One foot out from under the covers.
5. With a fan on. I must have the noise.

I'm one of those people that can fall asleep almost at will. Not bragging, just a fact.

Rexmons · 08-03-2007, 12:19 PM

The Way:

1. Always sleep on my left side.
2. A body pillow, keeping my legs and arms from actually touching one another
3. A pillow under my hands
4. A seperate pillow in between my feet
5. A pillow on the small of my back
6. A pillow under my head
7. Complete silence and darkness.

Check the locks so they can't clock, but they can listen. There'll be no bargin' in and there'll be no dissin' ...

Hoof Hearted--have you tried the "sun" type of alarm clock, which wakes you up with a gradually increasing light? Totally non-startling.

Aliantha--white noise generators are great! A fan will do in a pinch (and I like the movement of the air).
