Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 I wonder how many of us have sleep issues....apnea or not. In order for me to sleep I have to have a mask (any light no matter how tiny or soft will keep me awake) and ear plugs Wow, can I relate...Sleep is a big issue for me. I also cannot seem to " turn of my brain " at sleeptime and always use earplugs. My hubby, who has sleep apnea and still manages to snore even with a CPAP, sleeps in a separate room most nights. Most people say, " How can you sleep with earplugs when you have kids? " . Well, as you probably can understand, the earplugs only take the edge off, I still can hear things! I finally asked my new PCP about it and she gave me a Rx for Ambien which I have used on only about 5-6 occasions and every time it only served to GET me to sleep not keep me asleep. I'm sure I need to ask about anti-anxiety meds for nighttime. Most commonly, I will wake up at 2-3am and then start thinking about things and just can't get back to sleep. Then the sun is up at about 5:15am and then forget about it. I understand. I am so jealous of people who can manage to sleep 7-8 or more hours straight, consistently.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I have never been a good sleeper. counting the specks on the ceiling at midnight as a kid, too. Them, of course, cannot get up in the morning. I'm like my mom, and have one kid like me. I am not pleasant when I first wake up. Not mean, more like a grumpy slug. Not perky. Not even close. And it's impossible for me to turn off the switch on my brain. Very frustrating when I fall into bed with an exhausted body & my brain keeps flipping he stations Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
