How well did you sleep last night?

[odeon]

Not enough.

[renaeden]

Just doubled down on the sleep medication. Really need to get a couple of hours or I won’t be able to work.

What does double down mean? I'm hearing it on tv said a lot by Americans.

Only decent sleep I got was this morning after Kayleigh went to bed and the cats had been fed and let out (and back in).

I actually got to sleep without any aids last night.

[renaeden]

I really feel like I'm staff for the cats.

Haven't slept well the last few days. Last night was not an exception.

Last night, poorly, somewhat shallowly and I only got about 4.5 hours sleep.

Shellshocked from my potential heart attack wanting to rear up, the whole hospital thing (thank FUCK I had the sense to bring lots of books. Buried my nose in C'thulhu and his/It's Lovecraftian friends while they were busy sticking me like a fucking pincushion, running an EKG and sticking a fucking needle into my artery.)

Always been a Lovecraft fan, he was one hell of  a writer. And judging from his profile, I reckon he HAD to be on the spectrum. Somewhat awkward, not one for small-talk, retiring, with an excellent mind and a fantastic talent at writing his horror mythos. What do you guys reckon, H.P.Lovecraft-autie/aspie?

I am extremely lucky, I sleep very well at least 99% of the time (I might get insomnia a couple of times a year).

Annoying noises can keep me from falling asleep, things like dripping taps and ticking clocks.

Apart from when I snore and my wife wakes me up to ask me to stop. Then I'm normally asleep again fairly quickly anyway.

I give off a lot of body heat when I'm asleep. So in winter my wife is stuck to me and when I shift my position to try to get comfortable I can only move towards my side of the bed. By morning I am virtually falling out of bed and two-thirds of the bed on my wife's side is empty.

In summer my wife is virtually falling off the bed on the opposite side of the bed, trying to get away from the heat.

Lately sleep sucks. It's too bloody hot at night. Too bloody hot during the day too.

First time I was based in the tropics I stayed with a colleague's family. The constant heat and humidity was making me feel miserable and drained. His wife told me to sleep without air con or I would never adjust. I tried it and I was good within a couple of days.

15 years later I was on another project in a similar climate, same colleague was there as well. I told my colleague's wife that I was still following her advice and she had no recollection whatsoever. And she was sleeping with the air con on and feeling like crap during the day.

Slept well.

[Pyraxis]

Blah. I went climbing for the first time in a year or so (yay!) and exhausted myself (yay?) and then woke up feeling like I got run over by a truck. A day full of naps and then 11 hours (in between baby feeds) of sleep and I still only felt halfway normal.

WTF, my body isn't this old yet, is it?

[odeon]

"for the first time in a year or so"

I did need exercise at your age.

[renaeden]

Only got up to pee once so last night was good until a cat woke me up at 6am.

[odeon]

I slept well but I wanted to sleep longer.

[renaeden]

Cats woke me up at 6am rustling through stuff in my bedroom. I'm in the midst of moving things around so some of my stuff is on the floor temporarily. So the cats got fed shortly after 6 because if I tried ignoring them (Liam is the biggest culprit) they would end up breaking something.
