I'm not nasty, but I do argue a lot. It's the best way to test my arguments for weakness! You can't test arguments without arguing! It violates the whole purpose of having an argument! I also name call, ESPECIALLY if I'm playing Borderlands 2.

Can I still hang out?

Nope. Not here!

Then I will take my tongue-in-cheek attempt at levity and depart your thread. Have a good day!

AussieLady,

What were you doing awake at 2:10am?

If your answer is exercising, then you are totally excused Lol

Since I got my sleeve I have nights where I just don't sleep. Last night was one of this nights. Has anyone else had this problem since getting sleeved?

Yes, unfortunately. I now take a sleep aid to help with that.

Yes!!! I find myself awake all hours of the night. I just cannot sleep.

Later in the day I'm exhausted and then wouldn't you know it, I can't sleep again that night.

Count me in to the owl club. My remedies include magnesium tablets(chewed up), b6, a pain killer of some kind, and melatonin. I have always had trouble with sleeping so I can't blame it entirely on the sleeve. It seemed to get worse years ago when I worked 3rd shift followed by another job back to back with it on 1rst shift; my workaholic days. Also living in South Africa for 6 months played into it .

My sleep clock is messed up, I normally take a nap around 2 in the afternoon. I have tried to stay awake during that time and reset it but have not been successful thus far.

I take 2 unisom and it really helps me. Some of the other OTC remedies do not work as well for me or give me a hangover the next day (Costco sleep aid does this).

My dr prescribed me Xanax to help with the sleeplessness and it made me get up and raid my cabinets/refrigerator.

I cannot take it because then I start snacking instead of sleeping.

Ugh :(

I have Xanax as well and it does help sleep. I find that if something, (or someone , **plants vs zombies playing wife** ), wakes me up I have a hard time getting back to sleep no matter what I had taken. I try to save the Xanax for visits from annoying relatives. :huh:

Oh I'm going to try that next time MIL comes over! Hehe

I was having a hard time sleeping as well - until I amped up my exercise routine - using my fitbit - I never go without getting in 10k steps now - and I guess that wears me out :-)! However, I do agree with you guys - if I am woken up in the middle of the night (like my dogs barking) - I find it difficult to go back to sleep - but I'm not sure that is because of the sleeve.

I have sleep problems as well. I work midnights, and have for ten years now. On my off days, I convert back to normal hours so I can spend time with my family. I have a noise machine that I turn up "rain or ocean sounds," and that keeps the outside noise at bay. Also, I take a daily allergy pill that puts me sleep.
