  1. Met with my therapist today and we discussed sleep. Less than six hours sleep affects hormone production and can cause heart attack or stroke. I haven't slept more than 6 hours regularly for years. One solution might be for my husband and I to sleep separately, which I am fine with but my husband is extremely upset by. Have had issues with sleep for over 15 years, so I'm willing to try just about anything.

      Both. All the lights are out, but I might be on my phone reading, playing Words with Friends, or catching up on a show. I'm usually pretty relaxed and ready for sleep once it's 10 or 11.

      I'm so thankful my husband isn't a constant snorer. If he is, then I don't know, cause I sleep pretty heavy most nights anyway. You could always wear ear plugs to bed. :) My mom always has a pair of them ready at bedtime...my dad is the world's LOUDEST snorer. I have heard him across the house on occasion. lol

      Apple, I definitely have the same feeling of "adjustment" when I change my sleep schedule. When I increase my sleep I find it harder to wake up and I feel sleepier during the day - it's VERY frustrating. I'm glad you've had success with changing your sleep habits! We did try the strips a few years ago but they don't work. This is a very light snore, almost a loud breath sound. I wish my ears weren't so sensitive to it :(

      Newme, I actually can do pretty well if I listen to a white noise app with my headphones on, but unfortunately leaving those in all night causes my ears to be very sore. It would probably be the same with ear plugs. Right now I'm going to stay in our bed but focus on exercising during the day, trying the meditate-to-sleep thing, and getting back on melatonin regularly. Hopefully those things will make me sleep harder!

      Hope it all works out for you, finding your adjustments. Happy sleeping hon!
