Do you have problems sleeping?

Post Reply New Topic

I have major problems with my sleeping patterns, i sleep 3 hours one day none the next 5 hours the next then like 14 hours. even getting up early or trying to go to early doesnt help. so people of wrong planet tell me, any problems with sleep? Any solutions? describe!

Not sure if this counts as abnormal sleep, but I seem to require a lot less sleep than most people. It's not uncommon for me to be able to function with around 5-6 hours of sleep a night during the week. My wife definitely needs more.

I usually sleep fine unless I have an obsession in the front of my brain. Then sometimes my head "spins" with processing information and it's really difficult to let go.

Yes I suffer from insomnia frequently. Generally I take a long time to fall asleep and wake up often through the night. I have always been like this so have gotten used to it. Generally I sleep 4-6 hours a night. I feel bad if I get less than 5.

No solutions yet

I can't sleep at night i have trouble sleeping i have to watch tv to fall a sleep or use my walkmen to fall sleep i have trouble swithcing off.

If I've been drinking I can just feel it in my stomach, so I can't sleep.
If I've been out then I run the entire night through my head continuously and can't sleep.

I have huge trouble sleeping if there's something going through my head which there usually is. Only if I'm physically exhausted can I sleep in bed easily. Of course on the other side of that I can take nap relatively easily espically while in a car or during breaks at work.

yeah my sleeping pattern changes wildly.

one I might have 10 hours and over sleep another less than 2

yes use to have severe problems sleeping... what was my problem--> sensory...
I blacked out all my shades, got a sound machine and somewhat noisy fan, and mini air conditioner, got air purifier and ionizer, got weighted blankets, light therapy and now i sleep great.
If you think it may be sensory try some of those things might help, if its actual sleep, have u ever tried melatonin? or taking benedryl? either way hope u find a solution, because i know when me sleep deprived drove my family and i absolutely nuts!! !

More the opposite for me. I am tired all the time - need a couple naps a day and about once a week I go to bed soon after 6 pm and sleep until the next morning.

Im not working at the moment so i have been going to sleep later and later every night, yesterday i woke up at around 3 pm.

i sleep soundly.

Often I can have sleeping problems, sometimes I sleep only 5 hours in a night.

It takes me hours to fall asleep, and I often sleep twelve hours a day during the holidays

Even if I'm incredibly tired it can take me anywhere from between 1 and 3 hours to fall asleep. I can't have any noise at all while I'm trying to get to sleep, and earplugs make the problem worse because I find them uncomfortable. Also, I find that I need to sleep for about 11 hours a night to feel refreshed. There are rare occasions where I can sleep for only 7 or 8 hours and feel fine but the need for silence never changes. I can't even have a clock in my room because the ticking is so annoying.

I don't have a sense of rhythm, so I sleep at random times. Usually I'm up about 23 hours or so, and then sleep from 4-12 hours.

Don't have any advice about it though. For me I've just accepted that it's how I am. I get a lot done, though - so it's not all bad.

I used to have terrible trouble sleeping. I would be awake all night and fall asleep for a while during the day. My psychiatrist prescribed melatonin for me, which is a natural drug that some people lack, and now I'm much better, although it still takes me a while to get to sleep.
