I’m a fairly light sleeper. While I’m home alone I don’t have any problems whatsoever, however usually my mother is home at night as well. She gets up much earlier than I do for her job and it wakes me up every night, interrupting my REM cycle. It never fails, no matter how tired I am or how late I’ve stayed up, the noise she makes while she’s getting ready wakes me up around 6 AM
I’ve asked her before to try to be quieter in the mornings but she just doesn’t seem to be able to or she’s just ignoring my request. There are even mornings when she will stand outside my bedroom door and talk on her cellphone. It drives me crazy. I can usually fall asleep once she leaves but I rarely ever wake up feeling rested. Is there anyway I can train myself to sleep through her morning routine? I’ve tried sleeping pills on occassion and while they usually do work, I’d rather not use them. I need to get a full nights rest but I just can’t afford an apartment yet.

I have been living in a hotel for close to 3 weeks now in a different country due to my hubby’s job. The last few weeks I have had some very vivid crazy dreams about murder, death. The dreams are crazy and graphic. I am not necessary the one who this happens to. I this happen to other people and try to stop it or running away.

Long Term Problems from Sleep Apnea?




I had sleep apnea for 10 year before being diagnosed and starting treatment. I am now experiencing focus and concentration problems, and they are starting to effect my job. I have been using a C-PAP since diagnosis 10 years ago. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas what to do about it?

PS-My doctor put me on stratera, and I don’t have ADD or ADHD. Anyone else tried this?

There’s this job that I’m trying to get that is from 10:30 pm to 6 am. It PAYS, it’s a piece of cake, and I’m more of a night owl than a morning person anyways. However, I don’t see when I would get all my sleep really….. I have school at 1:40pm so I at least need to be awake by 1pm. By the time I drive home and everything from the job, it’d be around 7AM. So I’d have approx 6 hours of sleep (give or take, because I tend to lay there for a long time before I actually fall asleep) before school. Actually probably less than that if I want to eat lunch. I get out of school at 3:15, and home around 3:40 (the traffic is awful). Then sometime in the evening (very flexible and not necessary a specified time I need to be there, but it takes at least 3 hours) I need to go out to the barn and clean stalls (my other job). I don’t necessarily need to do this every single evening, but at least 4 times a week.

So right now my schedule is:

1:40 pm – school
3:15 – get out of school
3:40 – get home
5-8 pm – clean stalls (although again, I don’t do this every single evening, just four evenings a week give or take a few).
3 AM – bed time ;-]

So I do have a lot of free time, however, I don’t know when I would get all my sleep. I would be able to get 5-6 hours of sleep before school, and possible squeeze in 2-3 hours of sleep after school somehow to get my full 8 hours (although I normally like to go for 10 hours or so LOL ;-]
But my problem is, can I still get through enough REM cycles when I split up my sleep into sections like that? a sleep cycle is 90 minutes, correct? I’m just worried that I can’t really split my sleep up like this and still allow my body to go through what it needs to go through during sleep.

BTW I’m an 18 year old female… if my diet is relevant, I’m a vegetarian, and I don’t take vitamins. Oh, and as far as medications, I take Zoloft.
LOL and now it’s gone because someone reported it so you look like your on crack because you’re making a comment about nothing LOL!!!

I need a job and I have to take a drug test. I would hate to lose this opportunity only because I have trouble sleeping. I do not take drugs.

My brother has been sleeping on air bed for about 6 years. He did in college, and now he has his own apartment and a job; he still sleeps on a air bed.
Are there any short term or long term complications on a person who sleeps on an air bed for a prolonged period of time?
If you can find a website on this matter, please post it here.
Thank you.

There is no fighting his logic or his command, let sleeping dogs lie and let him do his job until 2016. Then we can do what we wish. Let him fix Bushy boy’s mess.

How often do you fall asleep on the job?




I dozed off for a couple of minutes, when my boss came over to me something. I don’t know if it was noticeable that my eyes were closed, because my boss never made reference to it. Most of the time, I don’t fall asleep but every now and then I will doze off. How often do you fall asleep on the job?

I am probably over analyzing but I just want to make sure. My doctor told me to use Melatonin to help me sleep…I am taking a test on Tuesday for a job I REALLY want and don’t want to lose this opportunity…I am clean in every way, I don’t take any drugs other then my prescription for Celexa

Should I get a night stocking job?




It is New Year’s Eve and I’m at home drinking alone. I’ve never had a girlfriend, and I don’t have any real friends.

I graduated high school in the top of my class, but I have severe social anxiety that makes me very nervous around people.

I have a rare skin condition that causes me to develop hives when I sweat. I have seen many doctors and been diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria. There is no cure, but Benadryls provide me a few hours relief.

I used to pass my time playing online games. My family moved, and at my new house I do not have a good internet connection. Now I have nothing to do.

I have insomnia. When I go to bed at 4 am, I do not fall asleep until 6 am, even after downing a couple Benadryls.

I need something to do. I don’t care how much I get paid. I only spend money on gas, Benadryl and cigarettes. I’d like an apartment some day but I still live with my parents.

I considered getting a cashier position, but I think the stress and physical trembling from talking to people all day would be too much for me.

Am I making a mistake by applying for a night stocking job?

Sleep Disorder or Normality?




My girlfriend has noticed i have been talking in my sleep as of lately, but not just little jibber jabber, full out conversations and she says i’m completely asleep when i do so. Most of my conversations are relative to work, i find myself repeating my opening call speech at night, because i am a call center rep at my job. Is this normal to have full open conversations while im sleeping, or is this a sleep disorder?

I need some advice on a family problem.?




So my family and I have always had trouble getting along. For whatever reason, I just don’t fit in here. We’ve fought for as long as I can remember– it probably has something to do with the insomnia I was born with; the lack of sleep makes me very iritable–, but I recently started smoking marijuana for relief from the insomnia. Now I don’t want any replies saying things like "you smoked pot, you f*cked up your life" because I’ve done all the research and marijuana is the safest and most effected treatment for insomnia, as I’ve tried everything in the book. At any rate, while I was getting good sleep from smoking, (by the way, I use a vaporizer) I was able to hold back a lot of my hatred. My friend got caught by his parents a few weeks ago, and his parents told my parents that I do too and they lost it. At anyrate, things are unbearable at my house, and I’m trying to find a way to move out. My friends mom (whom I’m very good friends with), offered to let me move in. My parents are fine with me moving out, but they refuse to let me do so as long as they are still responsible for me. They’re afraid of the police showing up at their house with me in the back of the cruiser when I don’t even live their. I would like to emancipate myself but I’m 15 and don’t have a job, so it would take a while to do that. What would you recommend I do?

Sleeping??




I’m 20 years old and I have a sleeping problem. I can sleep a 13 hour night and I am still dead tired only a couple hours later, and I go back to sleep, i just can’t get enough. I always want to lay down and I can’t even get a job because of htis. I’m always tired. I take Celexa for anxiety, but that’s it. This has been going on for the past few months. I would go to the doctor but I don’t have insurance, so do you have any ideas?
I have been taking celexa forever, i’ve never had this, i’m sure it’s not from that
