Sleeping

[Catilee2]

Hi Navydad,

        Sorry to hear about your sleep problems.   Like many of the others and you the only time I don't usually wear socks is in the shower. Even as a kid my feet would be cold in summer.  the sleep thing is crazy. some nights I go to bed normal time and can sleep till morning.  Tonight I couldn't get to sleep so came up to the computer, will pay for this tomorrow. I have to be up with my husband( he had shoulder surgery 2 wks ago) to take care of the animals.  Back to sleeping, other nights I wake up at 2 o3 3 in the morning and it's 5:30 or so before I can fall back to sleep. It's been this way for about a year now.  Go figure. I can't.
I don't want to take sleep meds, I don't like the listed side effects.  If I take a nap, sleep won't come until the wee hours of the morning.  In spite of the crazy sleep pattern, life is good because of all the fine people here and in my circle of friends.

Like Navy Dad my socks are on all the time. I also have to have slippers on or shoes. I put on my slippers, then switch to tennis shoes, then those bother me so I'm back to slippers, then switch to my boot-shoes, then too hot so switch to just socks then back to slippers and so on til bed. I used to fall asleep before my head hit the pillow but woke up not rested. Had sleep study and have apnea. Got the c-pap machine now I get less hours of sleep and less rested sleep. Hoping I get used to it soon. It's only been 5 weeks and I've tried 4 different masks. I an not a quitter so until I run out of masks to try I will be tired-er.

I'm glad to hear (but wish it wasn't so) that I am not the only one who gets tired standing in the shower. My husband always says "Go take a long hot shower. You'll feel better". Just the thought of getting in the shower makes me cringe because I have to stand. And raising my arms...so hard to do.
