I heard somewhere that during REM sleep the body becomes immobile and does not move.
Can someone go into REM sleep and not have this happen? I’m asking this because I move a lot during sleep and I ‘act out’ my dreams.
I have very vivid dreams, and I get a good nights’ rest, but I’ve had family members tell me that they’ve seen me running or moving in my sleep; the motions correspond to the type of dream I’m having.
Is this common?

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 having repeated dreams of committing suicide. The dreams don’t actually involve the final event of pulling the trigger, but they do involve holding a gun to my head.

I’m waking up to these dreams and they are interfering with my ability to get a good nights rest.
I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. I also am on anti-depressants already.

Pretty simple story, I’ve had the flu (not swine) and about half way through I lost the ability to fall asleep quickly, it takes me about 2 hours at least and then I keep waking up.
My parents won’t take me to get proper sleeping pills as well, reasons are irrelevant. I’ve tried herbal, they calm me down so I can be comfortable but I’m not falling asleep!

So, ideas for how to get a good nights rest?

Im not a fan of the CIO method, and Im debating whether or not to actually try it( in moderation) My 6 month old is just not sleeping well. He wakes frequenlty, still eats 1-2 bottles a night, and doesnt sleep long or seem to want to stay in his crib. Im so tired from working and not getting a good nights rest.

I wake up restless and unrefreshed all the time. I never get a good nights rest and I want to know why.

I go to bed at 10:30 and wake up at 6:00 I think that’s plenty of rest.

Anyone know if I could have a possible sleep disorder?

Thanks!
