RobSheffield Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Anyone else having probs sleeping? Been ill since Tuesday and i just cannot sleep at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yes. My chair's too uncomfortable, the desk's too hard on the forehead and the phones keep ringing. Feel for you matey, I used to have all sorts of problems getting to sleep at night. After I started working shifts I learnt how to take advantage of any chance to sleep, regardless of the time. A mug of hot milk usually works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Rob, after all of my problems recently I have not been able to sleep. Spoke to my Doctor yesterday, he gave me some sedatives and I slept well last night. Needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I'm a terrible sleeper, it always takes me ages to get off, and I'm usually waking up every couple of hours (Never due to bad dreams), so I tend nowadays to compensate for it by trying to have naps whenever I can... It's getting to the point when I'm thinking about approcahing the docs to see what can be done about it. I wouldn't say it's affecting me in any way, I'm probably used to it by now, but it's just a right royal PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathman Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I have had trouble sleeping for a long time now, found myself laying awake for hours. My missus bought me one of these http://www.lumie.com/bodyclocks.htm Basically, when you are ready to go to sleep, you have the light on the brightest setting and it will gradually get dimmer over half an hour, simulating the sun going down. When she first gave it to me, I was like, WTF a £60 lamp!!!! But it is brilliant, I am always asleep before the light turns off, result It will also start to turn on half an hour before your alarm goes off, so when you wake up it is at full brightness, simulating the sun coming up, so I wake up alert and haven't used a snooze button since I have had it. Well recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yeah, im feeling a bit better today, and managed a few hours sleep Rob, after all of my problems recently I have not been able to sleep. Spoke to my Doctor yesterday, he gave me some sedatives and I slept well last night. Needed it Glad to hear you are able to get some rest Tom, i had been through a similar (though not as bad) experience and i think thats what triggered this illness/lack of sleep off.
