Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Inspired by @Former-Member and a recent post from @D1ng0, I've decided to kick start a master thread on that delightful activity we spend about a third of our lives doing: Sleep!!

😴 🐑 💭 🛌

Sleep is a biggie, it's vital to our ability to function! We all know just how impactful it is when we don't get enough of it, so this thread serves both as a source of information and insight, as well as a place for members to talk about their sleep troubles, swap ideas, and ask questions!

I believe @Former-Member you're quite knowledgeable in this area, so by all means drop your knowldge bombs whenever you're ready! 😍

I will also share below, my personal experiences with insomnia that I shared with @D1ng0 - and D1ng0 feel free to use this thread to continue chatting about your sleep challenges if you like - up to you 😉

I'm gonna tag a few people, but don't wanna go too wild with it so please do tag more folks who may wanna get in on this discussion!

Re: Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

I would like to be like that again one day @tyme. I did have some days like that a while ago.

My meds haven’t changed @Bow. They are the same as they have been for about 9 months. I have changed a little though. I have agreed to 2 meals a day that I’m getting through lite n easy. Plus Ive stopped smoking. You would think that would make a difference though.

LOL. So much for talking about sleep and counting sheep! It's after 1:30am and I'm still awake. Let's see what this day brings @Captain24 🙂

Oh.. that’s a bugger @tyme. I went to sleep pretty quickly because I didn't wait as long as I’m supposed to.

I hope today goes easy on you!

@Shaz51 , took me forever to get to sleep. I think I was still up at 3am!

Hope you can rest up today.

Re: Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

That’s really late @tyme. I hope it’s not a pattern for you.

I had nightmares @Shaz51 @tyme. Pretty bad ones that woke me up. I don’t usually dream let alone have nightmares. It’s made me really unsettled and not sure of myself today. They are going through my mind and scaring me. It’s not a healthy combination.

Re: Counting Sheep ~ The Importance of Sleep!

Ohh hugs @Captain24

Is there something that you like doing to not think about them 🤔

I e just cleaned the house @Shaz51. I’m going to finish this Lego set and get stuck into a diamond art. I didn’t want to start one before I go away but I just have too.
