The night before last I had the worst sleep in 10 years. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. and decided to get up to use the washroom. I crawled back into bed and you think I could get back to sleep? I tossed and turned but nothing. I almost got there but not quite. I wondered how long that I had been laying there so looked at the clock on the wall. I was shocked when it was 5a.m. I had been laying there for 2 and a half hours! (I had a fight with my girlfriend and I think that was why I didn't sleep well)
I got up dead on my feet having only gotten 4 hours sleep. I had bags under my eyes and they were blood shot. Later on I fell asleep in front of the t.v. for an hour.
Last night was a complete reversal and I slept a beautiful 8.5 hours which is unusual for me as I average about 7. My energy level has returned and I feel great.

Never go to bed angry, never. That will always mess you up. Hope that everything is ok with your girlfriend.

I don't often sleep well. Especially an 8 hour sleep, that is rare for me. Only time I had great nights sleep in a row was when I was suffering from extreme anxiety once (it was so bad I went to the hospital for it) and my foot was numb for like 2 months. My friend gave me some herbs and totally felt great in the mornings. Also the winter helps me sleep better as well. I know a lot of people complain about the cold, but it is the most cozy season.

I too sleep better when it's cold. Don't know why.

I too sleep better when it's cold. Don't know why. Because you have a good reason to cover up tightly and not get up in the morning right away. Where as in the spring and summer, the irritation of the heat annoys me to sleep. I think I remember not covering myself at all for months. Only in the winter I do.

Oof, funny you should ask. I got the worst sleep I've had in some time last night. I tossed and turned from roughly 2 am until 5-ish when I finally fell back asleep briefly. Doesn't help that I have a cold yet again and my nose is stuffed to hell.

I go to extremes to get a good nights sleep. My room is so dark that I can't even see my hand in front of my face. I actually have a cover over both blinds. Then I put 2 earplugs in to shut off the noise. In the winter time it's 2 heavy comforters and one blanket, as well as long johns and a thermal top.
In the summer I sleep in my birthday suit along with 2 big fans going on me, one from each side.

Last night was another great nights sleep and I got 8.5 hours. Not sure why this is happening but I'll take it.

I slept too early, but got enough sleep. Still, you still procrastinate in the middle of the day by doing that.

Last night was not the best as I woke up to a bad dream at 3:15a.m. I was all worked up over the dream then my mind started wandering all over the place. It took me about an hour to fall back to sleep again. I finally woke up at 7a.m. So I got about 7.5 hours of interrupted sleep.

I keep sleeping way too early lately. I don't like it. Going to change my patterns today since it is Friday. Also been having dreams as well, but I usually don't remember enough of them to share them. But there are a thread or two where I shared my dreams from the moment I woke up. Just because they were too fricky to forget, so had to right it down here.

My dream involved me and an ex. We were renting in a place where the mail goes to the rental unit office. The manager had opened a cheque that was mailed to us. My ex confronted him about that and his response was, "What are you worried about? I couldn't have cashed it".
I was so angry that I wanted to go over and punch his lights out. Even though it was just a dream I woke up feeling angry and hostile. I had to settle down in order to be able to go back to sleep. Also dreaming about my ex made me think instead of sleep.

Tossed and turned quite a bit last night, and dreamed about getting attacked by papermashay whales.

Slept 8 hours without interruption and dreamt that I was an officer in the military.

Fell asleep early again. -_- I blame the fish meal I was having yesterday, though.

Lousy nights sleep, only bagged 6.5 hours. Woke up at 5:15 due to a bad dream. Dreamed about a girl that I used to go out with and how she announced that she was leaving me. She claimed in the dream that she felt that I was going nowhere in life, and that she didn't want to waste her life alongside me.
Sometimes dreams get too close to reality, and at that point become nightmares.

Slept okay. Don't think I got enough hours of sleep, but I can still fully function.

Not too good, woke up at 12:30 a.m. to go to the bathroom. Then a bad dream woke me up at 5a.m. Couldn't shut my mind off as I was thinking about a friend who had to go to the hospital yesterday because of a health issue. Then I started to think about a carpentry job that I had to do in my kitchen today. I gave up at that point and just got up.
I think I bagged about 6 hours sleep in all.

I've been getting better night sleeps since I got my new memory foam mattress.
