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.

I would get up and sew but I feel so tired I think I would just make silly mistakes and get even more frustrated :(

I know I sleep... but never soundly throughout the night... something wakes me... bathroom, readjusting my mask, turning my pillow, bathroom, thirsty, hot, more readjustment, cold, my arms hurt, turn my pillow again, hot, bathroom, cold... time to wake up!!! WTF!!!
It seems I'm in very good company! I can't remember the last time I actually slept through an entire night.

I also have sleep apnea and use a mask and while it seems to be helping somewhat, it's not the "cure-all" I was led to believe!

My insomnia started way back before meno; it's health related, and yes, I have to take naps, tho most of the time, I don't sleep; I just lie there with my eyes closed.

No, I don't sleep.. Last night not at all.. by the time I felt sleepy it was almost 7am.. so I didn't bother. I never ever nap, or I'd never get any sleep.. usually I go to bed about midnight, get up about 2.. go back to bed about 5 and get up at 7 or so.. so what's that 4 hours with a 2 hour wake time in the middle.. I get up.. I lay there a few minutes, but if I'm wide awake it makes no sense to just lay there to me... Last night I came in here and was messing around on the computer when I discovered that my girlfriend was also awake and on her computer!!

I try to fight the dreaded NANO NAP but it doesnt work, sometimes it is half an hour, other times up to 2 hours.
Mind you I go to bed around midnight and am up by 5am.
But I am 67.
