Lack of sex lol
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Faith13praise That is understandable.
Faith13praise · 51-55, M
@SweetMae Not to mention mild insomnia plus anxiety and depression
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Faith13praise No wonder you have problems sleeping. I hope you can get the rest you need.

Anxiety mostly. Sometimes from night terrors.

Talking is always helpful😊. @SW-User

@SW-User Usually! Sometimes it's a bit too deep rooted and just need something to take my mind off of it.
SW-User
I understand . I like to walk and hike to forget and clear my mind 😊@SW-User
That's when I'm expected to just through the motions, while I know something is not right, when I know something will not be right, and I have to find a solution.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@EarthlingWise I hope you find the solution.
@SweetMae avoiding the worst so far. ;)
SweetMae · 70-79, F
For me, I'm a nighthawk; swear I was born that way.

Now I'm a shift worker, probably from my ability to be up at times when others can't be, and as I get older it just becomes more difficult. I'd love to tell my boss, one shouldn't fall asleep at 8am Wednesday, then wake up at 4am Saturday, it's not healthy for anyone.

So while I do find sleep often, it's just never at hours that are normal.
@SweetMae Ironically, today I got a call from a supervisor, for reasons we have to cancel the Saturday night shift tomorrow. We can give you the option of taking a vacation day, mutual time off (unpaid but without consequence otherwise), or you can make up a shift. Well if I get two days off between every swing shift, if you ask me to make up elsewhere in the week, guess what it gives me less time to adjust.

I came up with a compromise, so instead of me doing one twelve.... may I do two six hours shifts instead? Then I can sleep like a normal person and not entirely throw off my schedule to get back onto days Thursday.....
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@thewindupbirdchronicles Very nice! Sometimes life surprises you at just the right time.
@SweetMae Didn't feel like a pleasant surprise in the moment, until I figured out how to handle it. In turn, it may be and I can continue being an insomniac for tonight, lol.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
Sometimes, but not as often as I used to.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@HeavenBesideYou Thank you!! 💕🌹 I have now.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
Excellent 😘@SweetMae

kodiac · 22-25, M
Nightmares even when i do sleep it's worse than just staying awake.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@kodiac I do understand that! Nightmares are very disturbing. I hope you don't have them too often.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@SweetMae Pretty much every night. When i wake up the feelings hang on sometimes all the next day .
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@kodiac I am so sorry to hear that.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
These days I sleep soundly. It used to be alcohol and anxiety that kept me awake
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@OldBrit I am happy you don't have a problem sleeping now. 😴
BalmyNites · F
I’m a raving insomniac 😁
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User You don’t think I ride a saddle with no padding in my pants, do yah? 🤣
SW-User

SweetMae · 70-79, F

SweetMae · 70-79, F
@KA9ha Time to get a room!! Take this to another thread please.
XDHyperGirlXD1 · 31-35, F
@SweetMae only room he getting is a loner one 🤭
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
Pain and stress are the most common reasons.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SwampFlower I'm so sorry. Pain keeps me awake too.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
My mind won't shut off.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@LadyBronte I am sorry to hear that. It can be stressful.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@SweetMae Thanks.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
The weather I think causes me to wake up in the middle of the night
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@ImRileyTheDog I'm practically living here these past few weeks. I have an injury and I can't do much else.
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
@SweetMae I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@ImRileyTheDog Thank you!😊
iQuit · F
I overslept the night before
Plus right now I'm organizing many things
Making purchases and helping my family with various things.

You're right i should go to sleep
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@iQuit I hope things slow down for you soon.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
Idk. I keep tossing and turning every night. I wake up at odd hours and then try to sleep again lol.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@SweetMae There always is. I sometimes wish to have a simpler life but it's always out of the equation.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Beatbox34 Don't lose hope. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@SweetMae Thank you. That's what I intend to do. It may get better. That's all I can hope for.

GunFinger · F
I do when I'm thinking and stressing about people and things. It's a good thing when i have them though. Keeps my mind working for the right reasons.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@GunFinger That is a good point. I never thought of that.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
Awesome movie!I wish I was living back then.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@SweetMae That would be wonderful..just look out for a 57 chevy all flamed out. Lol
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Eddiesolds 😎 I just knew you would have a nice ride!!
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@SweetMae Yes I would. Lol!
SW-User
Usually because I have too many things in my head or my emotions are all over the place…I sleep so much better if I go for a run or do some art to clear my head
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SW-User That helps a lot of people relieve stress and clear their minds. I am gad it works for you.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
It's either because I am too hot, I overslept on my sofa chair or I have several things on my mind.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Barefooter25 Oversleeping in a comfy chair is easy to do.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@SweetMae Actually, ever since I began sleeping without any clothes, being too hot and having lots of things on my mind haven't been much of a problem.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
Bipolar disorder and hyperthyroidism
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@DeluxedEdition That is good. It is difficult to work when you are exhausted.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@SweetMae last night I was nodding off 😳
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@DeluxedEdition Whatever helps.
I used to have that when I used to get drunk. Sometimes I get it because I am sad and worried.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@littlepuppywantanewlife I am sorry. I hope that doesn't happen too often
@SweetMae I quit drinking which helped alot. 🤗
SweetMae · 70-79, F
SW-User
I've thankfully never had trouble being able to sleep
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SW-User That is good news.
SW-User
@SweetMae it would be no fun
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SW-User It isn't.
Moonpenny · F
I don't, luckily. I think it's my one escape 🤷🏼‍♀️
Moonpenny · F
@SweetMae Me too! It's not always been like that. I hope this phase endures, lol 🌺💜
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Moonpenny I pray that for you as well. 🍀🙏
Moonpenny · F
@SweetMae Thank you, Mae ☺️
Peace be with you too 🕊️
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
Sometimes my mind wont shut off.i got 3 hours sleep last night. I'll take that
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Eddiesolds I understand. I am thankful for every hour I get.
SW-User
Probably to much tea late and chocolate biscuits in the evening 🤦‍♂️
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SW-User That will keep you awake!
SW-User
Yup but I can’t help it . I switched to green tea at nights so a little better . 😊. What can I substitute for my biccies ? @SweetMae
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Not as much as I used to, being old helps😌
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Virgo79 Good to know!
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@SweetMae you're not though🤗
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Virgo79 Thanks youngster! 🤗
I've got a lot on my mind and I have a habit of taking a cat nap when I shouldn't
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@SooperSarah Oh yeah. That can mess up your sleep cycle.
Noble · 56-60, M
Same - tonight, less than an hour. 😩
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Noble That isn't enough at all.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Noble I hope you can take a nap.
Noble · 56-60, M
I know …it was a long day, and now onboard a 6:20a flight. lol @SweetMae
Lilymoon · F
Sometimes my brain won't shut the eff up lol
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Lilymoon Right??? That can be so frustrating!
WillaKissing · 56-60
Great movie and music! Loved the cars too!
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@WillaKissing I really like that too!
Overthinking, it's very frustrating
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@BeefySenpie Hello 😊 Yes, that can be very frustrating.
Spumoni · 46-50, M
Worrying too much
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Spumoni I'm sorry.
PhaqueYou · M
restless leg syndrome.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@PhaqueYou Ouch ...I am sorry.
DDonde · 31-35, M
I was supposed to go to sleep 2 hours ago but I gotta wait till nobody's left around to shitpost to
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@DDonde Carry on ....
Areebah · 46-50, F
Lack of sex..
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Areebah That is no fun! I am sorry.
Mrjingleswilly · 51-55, M
Same here, rolling around all horny. It’s no good. @Areebah
OMG! this was amazing!
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@WonderGirl1 Glad you like it! It is a great song.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@MushroomFaerie I'm sorry. That is a lot of stress.
Feeling like there’s no one I can just pick up and do things with. Everyone I know either have others in there life or not the same interests. I feel when I have tried to reach out, they’re busy with other things and see you as needy. So I don’t ask anymore.
I’m an insomniac, alas.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@bijouxbroussard I'm so sorry. That is exhausting.
@SweetMae It is, unfortunately. 🙁
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@bijouxbroussard I have problems sleeping too.
SW-User
Overthinking, plus weird sleep patterns resulting from genetics, and working overnight shifts.
SW-User
Working my own hours (which allows me to sleep in til midday and finishing up work just before midnight.
Teslin · M
Work stress 🤨
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@Teslin That keeps many people awake at night.
Coldplay · 56-60, M
I think too much.........
My brain at bedtime
