My son will not nap during the day unless you are holding him. I have tried laying him in his crib already asleep and that lasts about 10-15 minutes. I have tried laying him on our bed, on the couch, and his vibrating chair. I know he needs the nap and he slept 2 1/2 hours yesterday but I had to hold him the whole time. I just can’t get anything done and I don’t want him to get used to it and expect to be held all the time! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

My husband has always snored even when we were dating but since we got married he has put on some weight well a lot of weight and now his snoring sounds like a bear. It is really, really, really. really loud and when we first got married it started bothering me so I would take Tylenol PM so I can sleep or try to get to sleep before him so I can have a good night sleep but now I am pregnant and really tired and his snoring is stopping me from sleeping I will get to sleep before him and wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom then I can’t fall back asleep so I will go to the couch. Then as soon as I am really sleep he gets up in the middle of the night and begs me to go back to bed because he wants to sleep with me and the baby if I don’t hurry to sleep first there goes the snoring. Then when I move to the couch he wakes up like I hurt his feelings and mopes around in the morning. He tells me he can’t do anything about it and he’s sorry but does not want me to sleep on the couch with the baby. He can’t sleep on the couch because it hurts his back. What do I do I am feeling delirious from no rest or I deal with his stinking attitude. I asked him to go to the gym and he always makes excuses so I just stopped asking him because it was making me angry his response is that he is tired from work and the business we run The doctor told him to go to a sleep center but our insurance does not cover the entire bill. I feel he can make it to the gym but he tells me he is not ready to go yet {whatever that means}. Should I continue to sleep on the couch or try to sleep with him to avoid hurting his feelings? Oh I also tired the breath right strips and they fall off in the night and don’t really work that well. I don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone I wanted to let anyone who is dealing with these critters a way to kill them I haven’t had a problem with them for a month. Now its kill on contact so you actually have to see the bug and spray it or the eggs. Do this for about a week I know it is time consuming but it worked for me.
get rubbing alcohol obviously it depends on how big your house is and how much furniture you have on how much you need to buy.
Spray the nests that are probably on the underside of your bed or chair or couch. you’ll need to vacuum your bed and if your bed has a design on it vacuum the design as well go around every crease every crack. Use Vaseline on and wood parts near the floor like the legs. These bus will not cross a Vaseline barrier. Then clean out any clutter you have. Throw your clothes ALL of them in the dryer for 30 minutes, not at one time. Just do a normal load and put it in on high heat. hang them when they come out of the dryer. spray all your furniture where you have seen a bug vacuum it. Vacuum around your base boards, then tape or block off all unused plug ins and light sockets. Bag your bed in a bed bag or if you can’t afford one use plastic wrap. This worked for me. Just try it before you think I am crazy.

Last night my husband and I had a very exciting night of laying on the couch in our Snuggies watching a PBS special on REM sleep. It was quite fascinating to hear all about brain waves and sleep cycles and such as. The information that I found most fascinating was when a researcher said that 1 in 4 sexual dreams that women have involve their current partner….and that number jumped to 1 in 7 for men!

I turned to my husband shocked and he said…"that sounds about right." I asked him who he was having dream sex with the other six times and he said "oh you know, celebrities and people like that." Let me tell you, it wasn’t very convincing. It lead me to think that he is probably sleep cheating on me with old girlfriends, other moms from daycare, our overweight middle aged next door neighbor with the chin hair, or maybe even one or all of my sisters.

So last night I sat next to him in bed and watched him sleep for hours, wondering who he was banging at that moment. He just laid there blissfully unaware that I was plotting my revenge.

So my question is…who should I sleep bang tonight in order to get back at him for his cheating, straying ways? And how can I parlay his infidelity in to a new pair of Gucci boots?

Thank you for your kind and mature advice.
Edit@ Scuzzy *vomits*

Thanks for that visual. I won’t sleep for a week!

I knew you would be the one to pick up on that.

I am taking Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a sinus infection/upper resp. infection. My pamplet that came with it doesn’t list drowsiness as a side effect, but has anybody taken this and felt especially fatigued. I have been laying on the couch for hours, trying to get some school work done and can’t seem to do anything but sleep and doze off. Has anybody else felt fatigued while taking this medicine?

But I can’t do either…. I feel like my life has been a disaster. Please read this, please help me!

-I’m a 20 year old male
-I dropped out of school when I was 14 (got a GED when I was 17)
-I am not in school now, & I have no job..
-For the past 2 years I’ve lived with my mom & my autistic brother in a small 2 bedroom apt. in the city
-I sleep on the couch in the livingroom
-I have practically no personal items; very few clothes
-I have a poor relationship with both my mother & brother; we barely talk, sometimes we go days w/o saying anything to eachother & my mom mostly just yells at me for not doing anything with my life. She’s been unemployed for a while now & really needs me to get a job… & I honestly wish I could! But I can barely take care of my extremely basic needs right now…
-I have ZERO friends; I haven’t had any real friends since I was 13
-I have gone months without saying more than 10 words a day
-I have social anxiety when talking to any stranger
-I have not had any meaningful emotional relationships since I had friends
-I have spent the last 6 years alone, inside, pretty much just pacing back & forth thinking.
-I worked for my dad when I dropped out of school, but he was a sociopath & never paid me. He owes me over 18K. I avoided contact with my mom during this period; she had kicked me out of her house when she found out I dropped out of school. Now I avoid all contact with my dad
-I have frequently reccurring major depressive episodes.
-Insomnia & hyposonmia
-Fluctuating eating patterns
-Fluctuating exercise patterns
-I feel like I am very immature and have boyish-like characteristics.. Unattractive I think, anyway
-I consider myself somewhat intelligent & bright,DEFINITELYy much still ignorant & uneducated
-I have poor communication skills (due to lack of education & NO ONE TO PRACTICE WITH)
-Unkempt self-appearance (not too bad, but I DEFFINITELY neglect myself)
-Bad, crooked teeth
-Very pale skin with acne
-Probably about 20 lbs overweight (or too fat)
-Lack self-discipline
-Trying to read more books lately to increase my knowledge & expand my vocabulary
-My favorite thing to do… is go to therapy. Sad..

I feel my parents have done a really poor job of taking care of me, though I think I might be responsible for part of this because I never "cried for the help I needed" I felt guilty whenever I asked for anything & thought that my parents would just know the best way to take care of me (… very stupid of me..). So now I guess I have severe self neglect problems, maladaptive avoidant behaviors, constantly contemplate suicide…, & don’t know how to put my life back together… except go to therapy for a long time & sort this out…
The only diagnosis I have received is Neurotic Depression; my therapist doesn’t really "do diagnosis".

I really need to get my life on track… I’m so lost & confused & lonely…. I really wish I could cry right now…

I keep thinking I should kill myself because of how far off course my life is & how much I am constanly stressed out, never having any moments of relief… In my head I am always trying to decide between living & trying my hardest to get my life on track & make something of myself & find happiness or giving up & commiting suicide because I think trying my hardest won’t be good enough & I’ll end up exhausted, miserable, & unhappy till I die… I’m really not sure I should even bother with this life anymore.. My future seems so bleak and futile… & needlessly painful. I should just put myself out of my misery….

I really just need someone to listen to me and offer some help right now.. One hour a week with my therapist seems to only be a TEASE! to me….

I want to get back to having friends & girlfriends (or one I mean), I want to get into school & get educated, I want to have a decent career…

Any advice is appreciated. SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG & INARTICULATELY WRITTEN.
*******!!!!! ****!!!!! I just want some advice!!! There is no one I can talk to…. I’m just that much of a loser… Tell me who I could talk to!!!! My therapist doesn’t have the time, she’s implied to me that I ask for enough attention already…

Ear plugs always bother me or fall out. A pillow makes it hard to breathe. Noise machine doesn’t drown out the noise. I don’t like sleeping on the couch and I am tired of poking my husband in the middle of the night. Help I need to sleep! We have tried an expensive anti snoring pillow, nose strips, spray and everything else out ther except a doctors. I need to block the nois!

My mom asked me to post this question about my dad. He drinks a few beers at about 4 or 5 o’clock, eats dinner, then goes to bed because he has to wake up early in the morning for work. My mom gets barely any sleep because of his snoring. By the sounds of things, the doctor said its his drinking. Is there some kind of trick or homemade way to stop this? Please help, my mom gets no sleep and pretty soon she’s going to have to move to the couch!!

I have had a "sleeping disorder" for a long time now. First of all, I am only 22. I cannot make it through an entire movie at home without falling asleep. I am usually dog tired around 9 p.m. I sleep every chance I get. I can literally fall asleep before my head hits the pillow and this is not a joke. I can sleep for 2 hours on the couch with my b/friend beside me screaming about his favorite team losing the game and not even be awakened. I am too tired to even think about sex at night with my boyfriend of 6 years, plus like I said, I’m asleep as soon as it lay down. The only change in my life is a second part time job so I work 7 days at week, Mon-Fri 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sat and Sun 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as Wed. 6-10 p.m. Could this second job be contributing to this or not? I actually do get a lot of sleep because I sleep on the couch at least 2 hours before going to bed at night where I get at least 5 more hours of sleep. Should I seek help for this or what should I do? HELP

Before he would snore a little and I would tell him to change positions and that would fix it. In the last 3 weeks it is constant. He ends up going to sleep on the couch because I keep waking him up to tell him he’s snoring to try to get him to stop because he always falls asleep before me and I CANNOT sleep in the same room as someone snoring. Does anyone have any advice?
