AB you have missed one the ageing bladderRe: Cant Sleep!!!
I think my problem is due to Tinnitus ..... everything is so quiet at night except for the continual buzzing/ringing in my ears which sounds so much louder at night. I usually switch the clock radio on when I'm in bed, hoping it will help drown out the noise but I can't say that helps much.Re: Cant Sleep!!!
Interesting thread Antibrown - after reading the posts on the "good morning" thread I am pleased you brought the subject of sleep up.Re: Cant Sleep!!!
Aerolor, Ithink that part of your problem is having a catnap doing this means that you do not need a ' Full nights sleep ' every night and as you wake up during the night your OH gets disturbed and starts the Catch 22 situation.Re: Cant Sleep!!!
Has anyone tried a CD of ocean surf sound? I swear by this to GET me to sleep, I've never stayed awake till it finished playing. But the problem is that I wake about 2:30 A M to pee and then can't get back to sleep easily. Is it maybe that we just don't need a full 8 hours when we get pretty old? I've never tried restarting the CD again.....???Re: Cant Sleep!!!
Thank you AB and I do try not to have a catnap in the daytime. Today I have been out three times - one this morning for an hour and then a couple of times for a shorter walk (now I have a dog again I am out a lot of the time come rain or shine). I will go out again for another half hour or so after 6.30pm for a road walk. I have also shampoo'd the carpet in the lounge, generally cleaned up, and been shopping. I am a bit cream crackered now, but I am not expecting tonight to be any different from most other nights. I do try not to pester Brian too much when I can't sleep, but often he wakes anyway.
