In Nursing, I worked long hours of shift work and being on call. My husband snores loudly. After retiring, I thought I would began getting good nights sleep. However, I don't sleep. I go to bed between 12:30 --2:00AM and generally sleep til 6-7 am. I take Ambien every night. Sometimes I have choactic dreams but not often. My mother, sister, brothers all had the same problem... just heredity, I guess.
