Still barely any sleep :(

[RunAway]

Insomnia is a killer! I can't sleep through most nights so I learnt to "cat nap" when I can. 23 years of insomnia now!! Caused by the meds I take completely screws your natural sleeping clock up. So now I just sleep whenever I can, day or night, an hour here a couple of hours there....

Me too. I was ill a few years ago and pain disturbed my sleep a lot - it's never really gone back to what it used to be, and I still find it hard to get comfortable.
I never worried about it until I returned to work 6 years ago, but it does impact on my daily life now (though it helps when putting together sleep hygiene workshops)

What's sleep hygiene? I can't help but think it's sleeping in a bath.

LOL - yes, it does
It's just the stuff you can do to help get off to sleep and stay that way

I've fallen asleep in many a hot bath, but there's nowt worse than waking up in freezing water, shivering your bits off and looking like a prune.

Actually, until I finally admitted defeat and gave up work, my morning routine would be to wake up in pain about 5am, get into a hot bath to take the edge off it while the painkillers kicked in and squeeze in another hour or so of sleep before waking up in freezing water.

These days, it's just getting to sleep I struggle with. Once I'm off, a tornado could rip the roof off & I wouldn't flinch!

Snap!

We were travelling abroad on holiday when I'd fallen asleep in the back seat.I was woken by an paramedic enquiring if I was injured as my dad (driver)had fallen asleep at the wheel & we'd shot off into a ditch in the central reservation of a spanish motorway.My dad always denied falling asleep as the cause of all the dents in his 1 month old Sierra,instead he blamed the satellite dish on the roof-rack.
