I’ve been struggling to sleep for the last 2 weeks , I drop off ok but wake up after 15/20 minutes and takes a good 3/4 hours to get back to sleep
The woes of getting older. You get to sleep but find yourself in the toilet again when you'd been an hour earlier ! What about mad dreams ? I've had conversations with my parents and they've been dead for years, but when I wake up it takes a while to know it never happened and it was all in my head.For at least the past 4 or 5 years, I have not slept through a night yet. I wake up an average of 3 times every night. When I was working (now retired), I slept like a log and woke up refreshed for work, but these days I look forward to having a full nights sleep, which doesn't happen. Most of the times I wake up it's because I need a slash but each time I go, I think to myself, "That should do it!" but I'll be awake 1½ hours later bursting to go again! Oh, and I NEVER sleep during the daytime.
Pretty much all of my dreams involve buses or ferries. I think that stems from when I was a bus driver many, many years ago and the ferries obviously from when I lived on the Isle of Wight. I reckon in a week, I probably have similar dreams of these modes of travel at least 6 or 7 times (between waking and nodding off again.) …. and, no! I didn't skip the letter 'n' in the word waking! :emoji_grin:The woes of getting older. You get to sleep but find yourself in the toilet again when you'd been an hour earlier !

Not to be sneezed at !Someone suggested a hay fever tablet before bed, might give it a go

what had you been doing to the owl?Made me smile - dreaming of On the buses - Stan et al - never to be repeated
Last night there was an owl twitwooeing away for an hour or so but just kept turning until I have drifted off again
I came in from my window cleaning round and dropped off to sleep for half an hour. But 2 hours sounds a bit long in the day ?My alarm clock is usually set for 7:15am
But just lately I've been waking up early from 5:30-6:30am
Often I can go back to sleep, but occasionally I feel wide awake and just get up early and have breakfast.
I do sometimes take a nap during the day, usually for about 2 hours in mid afternoon.
Basically, I try to listen to my body and just go along with what my body feels like doing.
Sleeping in a block of 6-8 hours a night is a modern practice to fit in with work demands.
Humans Used to Sleep in Two Shifts, And Maybe We Should Do It Again
in which case, you should set your alarm to 5:15. Problem solved.My alarm clock is usually set for 7:15am
But just lately I've been waking up early from 5:30-6:30am
Since it takes me about 10 minutes to drop off to sleep, I don't think a half-hour nap would work for me.I came in from my window cleaning round and dropped off to sleep for half an hour. But 2 hours sounds a bit long in the day ?
Then again like you say your body tells you when you're tired etc. I like the afternoon short kip, and have one 3 or 4 days a week. Feel more refreshed than sleeping at night. Could go back out and clean more Windows !
