Strange sleep questions!

[Anonymous]

How many people are able to fall asleep easily? How long do you sleep on average? Is it restful or restless?

I usually sleep less than 6 hours and it's restless most of the time. It also takes me a long time to fall asleep.

I've never been able to fall asleep easily.
I've had insomnia for as long as I could remember, and even before then because my parents talk about it, haha!
I usually sleep 4 hours at a time, at the most.
Sometimes it's restful, not very often though.
I don't need MUCH sleep, but I will have to catch up once a week after getting little to no sleep for several days in a row.

[zombiebabe]

[Asker]

[zombiebabe]

[Asker]

Yep its not fun. Are you a morning or night person?

[zombiebabe]

it depends

I have narcolepsy, so sleep comes easily to me, although it's often not the most welcome of feelings- especially during daylight hours when I'm trying to be productive (and conscious, for that matter). Plus, the quality of sleep isn't always great. Narcolepsy can really interfere with the ability to accomplish everything you need to each day.

when im not suffering from insomnia almost instantly, depending on what my body needs at the time from as little as 3 hours to as mutch as 18 hours, ususaly some where between 6-12

have you tried any techniques to help your body/mind to prepar for sleep?
some of the things iv look up are:

Have your last meal/snack and drink (other than water) 2-3 hours before you want to go to bed, this will allow your bodys motabolisum to stabalise and not be fully active when you should be sleeping thus preventing you from doing so.

Have a hot steamy bath at least n hour befor you want to sleep, the act of raising your body temperature and then allowing it to naturally cool automatically stimulates the sleep chemicals that will kick off your tired/sleep cycle.

try and stop any form of work, or studies an hour or teo before you want to sleep and then relax with some calming music or put the tv on as back ground noise and go lay down and fal a sleep that way, allows your mind to slow down tot he point where you naturally falla sleep.

could be your body click is just out of sync, i know mine is, a good technique if you can stand to do it is this (cont)

[Terminal_Access]

Also iv been told this can help prevent jetlag

16 hours before a generally set meal time e. g breckfast, stop consuming any form of food and drink with the exception of water

go the whole 16 hours untill it is the normal time for that meal and eat what would be a normal meal for you at said time, e. g breackfast grab a bowel of cerial, then continue on as normal make sure to catch the next meal times and eat accordingly, this is known as "restting the bodys food clock" whish in tirn is an auto reset for your general body clock. , and it works (from experiance)

[Asker]

I can try that but I don't have set meal times I just eat when I get hungry. (Once or twice a day I eat)

[Terminal_Access]

yea i tend to do that when im "off schedule",

If you want you can try the following have breackfast arund 8-9am ish, lunch around midday to 2pm ish and dinner any where from 7-9pm then from 10pm grab a nice hot steamy bath and dont have any thing more to eat or drink except of corse water, see how that works, may not work the first time but if you can do that at least three times in a week it should kick your body clock, sleeping pattern and help to prevent the insomnia.

[Asker]

I'll try it thanks. :)

[Terminal_Access]

Your welcome xD, let me know how it works for ya!

[Asker]

I will. :)

The maximum number of hours
I sleep is about 4 hours.

First off, I can't sleep until it's at least 2am.

And after that, when I finally fall asleep I wake up after
about an hour, whereas I try to fall asleep again, only
to wake up about two hours later, by then I feel refreshed
though and can rarely fall asleep again.

It was quite a toll on my mother
back when I was a little child, though it
wasn't that messed up back then.

Do you make sure that there isn't much light coming in? You should also look into using https://justgetflux.com/

It depends on how tired I am or what kind of day I've had. Unless I'm super tired, I have trouble falling asleep. When I'm in school, I will sometimes sleep only 2 or 3 hours. If I'm on break, then I'll sleep up to twelve hours to catch up on my lost sleep.

[Creole_Flavor]

It's hard for me to fall asleep I typically don't go to sleep until 5-6 a. m. I am never sleepy I sleep for about 3 hours wake up and then sleep for about 3 or 4 more and stay in bed for 1 hour before I actually

[Creole_Flavor]

get out of bed thank goodness I work from home lol

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I have crazy sleeping habits I'll sleep for 4 hours and wake up than my sleep is screwed for the rest of the night

[harakiri]

I've been have problems sleeping lately because of this thing my aunt told me about jinns :(

[NovemberJoseph]

I suck at falling asleep. I can only sleep when my body wants to, not when I want to.

[Blueeyes81]

I work a lot of hours at a strenuous job. It takes 20 minutes max to sleep. I get around 6-8 hours, more if I can get it. It's a sound sleep.

[fatdan74]

Trouble getting to sleet. Wake up after 4-5hours. Am tired the next day.

[MJas16]
