This is why I struggle taking my sleeping pills

So last night I took my sleeping pills along with my PRN sleeping pill. And I sleep very well, to well I guess.

Joel told me as he was getting ready for work that our daughter got up around 1am and was sleep walking. I didn't hear the alarm on her door. He got up and tried to lead her back to her room but she wouldn't move. He tired to wake me up but couldn't. He tried really hard to get up up but he couldn't. He finally got her back into her room. He was able to get up before he went to work.

So yeah this really sucks. I hate knowing that.

You might need a headset alarm hooked in to the alarm on her door...and you might need techie help hooking it up.

If you have a headset alarm, you can set the volume to atom bomb blast, and that SHOULD wake you up, while allowing the rest of the household to sleep.

@Cigarguy And look into hiring a savvy techie who can hook her door alarm into that set up.

But you have to sleep sometimes too. Don't feel bad. Your sleep is equally important as anyone else’s

@YoMomma yes I know I do but I also need to be able to wake up in the middle of the night if we have an emergency. I am seeing a new specialist next week with Joel

Did he try pouring water on you?

@Cigarguy No, if the purpose is to wake you up I say we get you a spray bottle like a cat. Or put black pepper on your nose. My point is you can experiment with ways to wake you up. The solution is not you not taking your medication, just find a way to wake you up.

@PinkMoon I would prefer to just being able to wake up by him saying my name or shaking me

@Cigarguy That's not your reality though. If you're not open to trying alternative methods to waking up then I think you were looking for a reason not to take the pills and you found one.

Doesn’t sound too bad at least you got a good sleep

@Ferise1 except for my partner could not wake me up when he needed help with our daughter. What if it had been a more severe emergency?

@Cigarguy ok
