I never to to bed until I'm sleepy and then I fall right to sleep and sleep until I wake up unless I have an early appt. DH is a light sleeper, wakes to any noise, so I let him worry about things that go bump in the night. I sleep like a log. The Dr. said it was a sign I didn't have any stress or let stress bother me.

I think it's because quilters are so creative, it takes a long time to shut our mind down!

Either way you will be bored into the deepest of slumbers and will have no memory of what you've read.

LOL! I know what your doc is talking about regarding the ObamaCare plan...I was able to read through the first draft...that was pretty much in plain English, but the revised 2000 + page version is so full of Legalese that you have to speed read through 40 pages to get to the subject then continue through another 87 pages to get to the 1st "maybe". I still have it on my compter somewhere.

My husband insists on keeping the TV on...even when told that it doesn't help the "brain" sleep...and he wonders why he's tired all the time. If I manage to get to sleep after a hard day and end up on my back the deep breathing "bothers" him and I get jabbed in the ribs. Naturally HE doesn't snore nor does he worry that the TV keeps me up! Go figure.... and don't dare turn it off......"What are you doing????? I WAS WATCHING IT!" :wink:

My husband could be in the middle of sentence and stop making sence. I know he is a sleep. It takes me an hour on average to get to sleep, always have even when I was a child.

I have found that if my husband goes to bed before I do, then that is it, I will never go to sleep for all of his snoring!!!! UGHHHHHH!!! I absolutely hate it. Then I end up sleeping later than I wanted to and my day is all downhill from there.
