Has this ever happened to you?

Often. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Happens every night!

Do you mean like last night? Yeah, so I read for an hour or so and drifted off.

When this happens I read. It keeps me from thinking I need to go to sleep, which keeps me awake😁

Yeah a lot. I doze off in my recliner after and wake up and do the dishes etc and then lay down to sleep and can’t and stay awake while everyone else is sleeping.

I have had hot chocolate, hot milk, chamomile tea - and found it doesn't help when it comes to sleeping it. Either I'm still awake when I get into bed, or I sleep for a couple of hours or so and then wake up unable to get back to sleep.
I finally go downstairs and make myself a cup of tea and then I find I feel a little more relaxed even though it has caffeine in it. Reading a book does help me to nod off though.

This is why I have my tv in the bedroom. When I get tired watching all I have to do is push a button. TV off, Imma sleep,

Ever single night

Just move the bed to the living room

Yes, and now I am awake at 1.15am

This is my father in a nutshell. He's been like that for years. He keeps falling asleep throughout the whole evening in his armchair, then either stays there or goes to bed and wakes up around 3-4 AM and sleeps in the morning again.

Stay in the chair

That is my wife's experience. She gives up and goes back to her recliner, only to find that our beagle has claimed it for the night. So she has to drag the dog out of the chair. By then she is wide awake and has to watch Law & Orser episodes until she falls asleep.

I am exhausted by the end of the day and could fall asleep standing up. But once I'm done being mom and I have a moment to myself to lay down my mind starts racing with the stuff I can't get done. I get wired.

A similar thing happened to me the other night, well just an aspect of it, i was reading on my side in bed the beginning of Romeo and Juliet and i dids't for a moment doze off!!!

No, I usually fall asleep and my wife wakes me up to go to bed because I look uncomfortable. Then I'm up all-night tossing and turning because I'm uncomfortable. 😅

Every night? Generally, 5 out of 7 nights.

Rarely I fall asleep on my couch while watching tv. I work shifts so I am tired a lot. I get up. Ho to bed. And sleep more. I lead an active life.

I've never owned a recliner...but I ordered one for the place we're moving to in a few months. So....I'm going to have to wait and see.

Nah, I’m like a golden retriever. My head hits the pillow and I’m out in minutes.

Too many times to count.

There have been times!!

Often.

Never

Daily

Too many times

My what? 🤔

I just stay in my recliner lol

It’s because YOU BROKE THE SLEEP B BIBLE YEEEEE HAWWWWW

What I do, is tell myself as I sit there tired and feeling like crap that it's time to get up anyway because I have to pack a suitcase for business trip and I have to hurry up and get my butt out to the airport, despite only having about an hour's sleep in the recliner. After I pull my suitcase out of the closet, I sit back down on the recliner just for a quick minute ...and before I know it, it's morning already and I awake feeling refreshed and ready to start my day! 🌼

Then I put my suitcase back in the closet and give it a good kick and whisper to it softly, "Ha Ha! Fooled you again!".
