DITTO!! Why is that?

Hot flashes are waking me up throughout the night, throw covers off, cool down, put covers back on, lather, rinse, repeat. Ugh.

I think ckcowl is on to something. I sleep like a rock but when something is on my mind I have weird dreams.

I think it depends on what's going on with either of us - sometimes he doesn't sleep much - sometimes I don't.

I lost two nights this week; waking up at 3 AM and then going on the computer answering emails. Then I'm shot for the following day.

I have a solution, I just didn't follow it myself...it's called Melatonin. It's in every drug store, although my best friend sells it through Usana, and I just forget to take it. I remembered last night and slept like a baby! Menopause is no friend to sleeping, so this is a great fix!

lindyline I don't know either, but I'm thinking you didn't read yesterdays funny about snoring. I will look and try and post the link. Maybe you'll be able to test the theory!

OMG hilarious!!! Read that to dh. :wink:

My husband suffers from PTSD (VietNam). He has night terrors that wake me up. I call his name and get him out of the terror and he goes right back to sleep without remembering any of it. I am awake and can't go back to sleep. I hate it and I hate that he suffers so, but he doesn't even know it.
