SLEEP...sleep better, sleep longer, sleep more, sleep earlier

Well 2007 hasn’t bought any massive changes to my sleep patterns…wish it had…but there you go…seems alot of women in their 40s have a similar problem…I don’t worry so much now…and sleep when I can. If I can’t I try to do something pleasurable..like read…listen to music…etc

Well the summer holidays are here and with them come more time to relax and less stress and so I am sleeping a little better. I think that the idea of having 8 hours continuous sleep is unrealistic for me…and I need to be happy with 5 to 6 hours at night and the odd catch up with a weekend sleep in! Having talked to others about these strange sleeping patterns of mine…it seems I am not alone and the more I stress about it the worst it gets….so I have to let go…and get the sleep that I can….Let’s see how 2007 goes!

I wish I could say things were getting better with my sleeping patterns but they are worse at the moment only getting 2-3 hours in any one stretch! Makes my days seem like I am looking at everything through a foggy haze! Not a good state to be in!

I have tried the “going to bed early at 9pm” several times lately but what happens is I go straight to sleep but then I wake up ay midnight or 1 am and my body says that’s your sleep for the night. Then I try to get back to sleep and end up roaming the house…and fnally when I am ready to “sleep” again it’s time to get up! The best solution for me so far is to wait till I am really tired…I kind of nod off…and then go to bed ….its usually around 12 and then I will go to sleep and wake around 5. At least then I am getting a straight run of sleep and feel OK. I haven’t slept for 8 hours straight in a very long time? Sometimes on the occassional weekend I will crash and sleep for a whole day!

Not going too well….still having sleeping problems!

I am a terrible sleeper…go to bed late…sleep in…wake up a couple of times in the night….have trouble getting to sleep some nights…can’t seem to shut off my brain….I NEED TO GET A REGULAR SLEEP PATTERN AND STICK TO IT!
