Sleep Question

[snowcraig2.0]

I am a terrible sleeper apparently, I would say 98% of the time I wake up at some point during the night for 10 minutes to an hour.

I had assumed this was normal my whole life. But last night I asked my wife if she woke up every night, and she said no, and most of the time she sleeps until her alarm goes off. This was literally flabbergasting to me.

Is this true for most people here, that you sleep all the way through the night without waking up at some point?

**** no. i have 4 kids.

I would say your wife is more of the outlier here.

The only time I can sleep through the night is if I get a snootful the night before.

On a normal/routine night I wake up usually once a night but not for long...and if I am going to bed coming off of 6 or fewer hours of sleep the previous night I will sleep until I hear the alarm.

It's pretty rare that I sleep straight through, as I flip over a lot, but I am in and out quickly. I have a new puppy, so she wakes me up periodically barking in her kennel.

I sleep fine through the night if I don't consume any alcohol. This didn't really start for me until I hit 35ish.

If I do have drinks, it really matters how many. If I have enough to knock me out for the while night I'll sleep through. If I have just a few, I will typically wake up around 3 AM, wide awake for a good hour before I can fall back asleep.

I eat half a gummy a half hour before I go to sleep. It helps a ton. I never wake up and when I wake up in the morning I can tell I get a full night sleep. If your job don't test for Mary Jane, try this approach for a few weeks and see if it helps.

Hope you find a way to get more and good sleep.

I developed this waking up/having to spend time falling back asleep thing a few years ago.

A combo of melatonin and Benadryl each night before bed has done wonders.

**** no.

**** no. i have 4 kids.

Same but only 3. Our daughter wakes up every single night at 2.5 years old. Sometimes for like 10 minutes, sometimes for a couple hours.

Could be sleep apnea.. I was diagnosed with it and had no idea. I’d try melatonin to see what f that helps..

I think you might want to differentiate between waking up during the night briefly (tossing and turning, bathroom run, something interferes with your sleep) vs what you’re experiencing which is waking up and staying awake for 10-60min. A lot of people might not be able to soundly sleep through the night but waking up for an hour mid rest is a bit unusual.

I only sleep through the night when the wife tires me out. So, I wake up most nights.

When I get fatter I wake up more.

It's usually associated with dreams like having my helmet break on a space walk or a cave in or being underwater.

My dreams incorporate my lack of air. It's good times!

I'm very similar to this If I get an alcohol buzz before bed I'll wake up around 3 and have a hard time falling back asleep. I have no idea how accurate this is but I read an article once that implied your body is trying to fight the depressant effects of the alcohol and when the alcohol wears of your body is still trying to stay awake. Thus waking you up in the middle of the night. I've had good look with Gummies, especially if they have CBN in them. Or better a blend of THC, CBG, and CBN.

It's kind of neck uncomfortable but I now prop up my pillows to keep my head elevated.
I sleep better but still wake up (less than used to).

 

[KennyPratt42]

I very rarely wake up in the middle of the night for any reason. Occasionally I'll wake up after I've fallen asleep a little while later (less than an hour) or early in the morning (around 5 or 6), but that's usually because either something woke me up or I have something on my mind.

It’s weird you say this, because I’ve noticed doing this a lot recently. We did get a new puppy that stays in a kennel in our bedroom at night, but he’s not barking or anything. I just wondered if he moves around a little and wakes me up.

Before this, I would usually sleep all the way through.
