Oh dear! LOL!! My hubby has sleep apnea, so I wouldn't go that route. I tend to use ear plugs and he sometimes uses his CPAP machine but not always.

Another thing, I tend to have anxiety issues and sometimes just plain worry will keep me awake until I do positive affirmations to make it go away.

Title: Re: what keeps you awake at night?
Post by: pmagalei on February 28, 2013, 11:13:20 am: I think I probably have sleep apnea. I think I have most of the symptoms like snoring, going often to the bathroom, my neck size is at 21, and probably some stress issue. I think I worry too much about the future and the unknown.

Post by: africanclaudie on February 28, 2013, 03:23:33 pm: If I could just tell my brain to switch off I'd have a great night's sleep! As soon as my head hits the pillow my brain goes into overdrive about anything and everything. It's like a chain reaction....from one thing to another....not even sleeping tablets work for me. :sad1:

I have a girlfriend overseas that is very sweet, and if I don't talk to her for a day, missing her dwells on my mind, and then keeps me awake.
anger is another thing that can keep anybody awake. your mind is obsessed with whatever made you angry and cannot rest. one thing that has woken me up in the past is
when I had a spasm in my leg muscles that caused one of my knee joints to subluxate. it is very excruciating. don't talk to me about the pain of giving birth, as men can't get pregnant.
you can still walk when you are pregnant. try walking after subluxating your knee. very painful.

Post by: FontFanatic on February 28, 2013, 10:03:27 pm: Caffiene, menopause, depression, you name it...

I had two surgeries last year. While recovering, my sleep go disrupted because the pain meds made me sleep all day and it was too hard to sleep in the bed at night, so I slept in the recliner and watched tv late at night. I eventually quit work due to health issues and so it is easy to sleep late. I frequently am up until 4 am....

Post by: sherryinutah on March 01, 2013, 01:51:02 am: Too much caffeine can keep me awake at night and that includes green tea. I would be wise to step away from caffeine, completely.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have more self control. :thumbsup:
