Does my wife ever frickin’ sleep?! 😱

I woke up at three different times in the night. Once at around 11:30, another around 1 and lastly, at just past 3 and she was up browsing on her phone each time! She’s supposed to get started on her homework today but now she’s probably gonna too damn tired to do it and screw herself over. This chick needs some sleep therapy or something!

Sleep disturbances are a symptom of about 1,000 different issues, from anxiety to past trauam to ADHD to medical causes.

She ought to talk to someone becasue she can learn how to better manage her rest and there may be light meds than can help her. And if she's telling you she simply needs less sleep, it's not true. Signed, someone who was gonna lose her mind if she didn't learn how to sleep.

@Carla Is it a bad sign that I read this with reaction, "Oh wow, four hours. Way to go."

I use reading and trazodone. It can put me to sleep in 20 minutes, but it's half life is very short with me. Staying asleep is the toughest part. And if I let my brain even thinks I'm awake, the jig is up.

The phrase, "I'll sleep when I'm dead?" It's a mantra.

@Graylight trazadone...no go.
I used restoril for a time. It did the same for me as the trazadone does for you. They took it away when i went off opiods and settled on cannabis. Using the restoril made me feel drugged during the day. The cannabis gives me a more natural rest. Deep sleep though, i fear, is a luxury of the past.
Sleeping when im dead, yeah...it will be as dreamless as sleep is now. How will i know?(🙃)

@Carla I don't know how there's not an insomniac's club with a chapter in every city.

Maybe she’s stressed? I never sleep well when I’m stressed

@Jenny1234 I’m thinking so. She’s a preschool teacher, so her job is naturally stressful. Maybe that sleep therapy would be a good idea.

@Ducky they say that if you wake up in the middle of the night and check your phone, the light from the phone makes it harder for you to go back to sleep. It might help if she didn’t look at it. She might sleep better

Maybe she's somewhere around here too

Does she wake up early?
Ducky · 31-35, F
@MyNameIsHurl No. That’s me, lol. She does sleep in late, though.

She sounds like she needs a break

Relax

She might not be human
