I got a pair of foam earplugs and stuff them in my ears and that seems to help, I guess I'm not hard of hearing yet. If I can't go back to sleep for a couple of hours I usually watch TV, fall asleep, wake up go back to bed and takes a while to fall asleep again. Seems this happens at least 1 week a month. I don't nap, afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.

My problem is that I fall asleep, sleep about an hour or two, then wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep until about an hour before its time to get up! I've tried warm milk, wine, reading, meditating, sewing, computer, looking at the stars, etc. i even adked my doctor and was told its part of "The Joy of Aging!".

I have a serious sleep disorder, I wake up every 57 seconds according to the sleep studies. I never get to REM sleep/deep sleep. I've been on meds for so many years now that they don't even help me. I am now on the third day without sleep. I surf the net because anything else would wake my DD2 and DH. What I'd like to do is clean house so I can quilt during the day when the lighting is good. More than that, I'd like to sleep for 10-12 hours straight. My, those were the days. I'm only 52.

I can sew, that doesn't bother DH at all.....but never seem to do it.I can sit down & just stare for an hr :)before slowly coming full awake.Even OTC sleeping pills don't cause me to sleep a bit deeper, not longer.I'm a hopeless case !

I am up in the middle of the night often and I come to the sewing room and play and read and maybe snooze in my recliner or go back to bed. I always hope for at least 6 hours of sleep. If not then it is a planned nap!
