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!

Im back on board @Shaz51

Ive just joined recovery club

Since being interstate nearly 5 months away from my husband of 23 years, I haven't been sleeping since 2022 2 hours maybe 3 tops every night for 3 years. This September I finally had a full night sleep like 8 hours and it continues

Extremely grateful to have sleep return to my being.

Discovering I was in a Covert Narcissist manipulative relationship

I have lots of answers to my unwellness and sleep deprivation ❤️

Yay

Oh wow @MedicinalGypsy , you definitely deserve better thsn how they treated you.

I'm sorry to hear about your mum's alzheimers; its very caring of you to help support her. I hope this is a very healing time for you also though 😊.

@Shaz51 glad ypu get an extra hour, but still sounds a big of a rough quality ☹️. I have a cpap too, makes a big difference to my sleep quality. Without it i felt just as tired or more tired after sleeping.
