Insomniac’s R us?

[Olderisbetter]

I have never slept well or had a regular sleep pattern, its not fun.

 

[badabec]

I usually have to get up once or twice during the night to make sure that the loo is still in working order

Get your prostate checked out. Seriously.

Oh yes, I have prostate testing and charting done on a regular basis. So far, so good, but I still get the tests done every year to try to be on the safe side.

 

[Onoff]

That deserves a thumbs up...

I used to wake up in the night wondering how to do a particular job etc - now I wake up worrying about customs stuff Not good at all. Get it wrong and it could cost our customers a fortune and cause serious hassle.

I seem to revel and enjoy the vivid, real stupid dreams I have of late, yes in the early hours.

Recent events are the wife's had cancer. I'm being made redundant. These crazy dream are like some (nonsense?) safety valve.

I often get muscle cramps in my legs and feet. Fast asleep and then i get a massive pain in the back of my leg or across the arch of my foot, seriously unpleasant, like being stabbed. Then i do be reluctant to go back asleep again in case they comeback .

I can't sleep leading up to and during a full moon. Seriously.

That's very interesting. Why do you think it happens?

Just about the only thing I find helpful is playing a recording of ocean waves (surf). However, it needs to be the right recording, so no seagulls and no trickling water, just repetitive waves.

The best waves for this are from the middle beach at St.Ives, but I don't have a recording of them.

I've been living on a motley assortment of old ships and boats for decades, and the sound of trickling water makes me wide awake instantly.. sh1t we are sinking!

Strangely the best sleep I ever have is on a boat in rough seas!
Last year on the ferry back from Spain it was a force 11 and I slept like a baby. Only a force 8 this year didn't sleep so well

I don't know what you are talking about, who is this Middle Knight anyway?

 

[Onoff]

Am up all hours of the night,
I have had to put my house up for sale because of neighbors dog barking,
three Alsatian dogs, dog warden has no power, his job is to ensure the dogs
well being is looked after, but there is no law for human beings being tortured
with dogs barking, such a sh** hole of a place this is.
They fly a drone over my house to see if I have visitors if they see no cars,
they come out and do donuts, they park their car up tight to my fence, open
all the doors and turn the radio up in full, called guards, they came out, radio
went silent, guards left radio straight back up, called them again, no law against
playing music, even though I can hear it so loud my ears hurt.

And no, I have never found any ear plugs or noise cancelling products to drown
out the noise, two years without sleep, no choice other than move.
Evil people all around me here, none of them will stand up and say the dogs are
a nuisance, or that the donuts at all hours is a problem, they even used to set off
fireworks to start the dogs barking, now they set off banger inside their own shed to
start the dogs barking so I can't video them.

My only regret is not putting my house on the market earlier, I would be somewhere
else now, where I would get peace to live.

The retard that has the dogs, is a speed freak, couldn't even drive through
a bridge 40ft wide without hitting it and tearing his liver and kidneys apart,
never leaned a thing, he steps out dressed in white, turns his peaked cap back ways
and begins to do donuts, this retard has a child, what is that child going to be like,
am afraid its all down hill and this once peaceful neighborhood has become a place to avoid
at all cost.

I'm afraid this is what you get for buying a house next to a police station!

That's very interesting. Why do you think it happens?

I read something a couple of years ago that it's thought in some circles to be a leftover primitive sense in certain individuals. Moonlight aids predators so it pays for the prey to be alert/awake.

Then that it's to do with sensitivity to the same pull that causes tides.

I always sleep with one eye open in case of sabre toothed tigers or cave bears...

Have you tried a magnesium supplement, that works for me. I take 1 Lamberts magasorb daily & it helps prevent leg cramps & restless legs. I've tried cheaper brands but they just don't work!

If you can't sleep - give alcohol and sleeping tablets a miss.

Get some exercise in the cold make yourself tired - eat some good food - get in a warm bed and go to sleep.

-----------------------------

Huge overweight chap who works near me - has started to cycle to work earlier this year. He reckons he has not lost much weight - he is eating more and sleeping like a baby.

He is so big - he has had to get some 700 tandem wheel with more spokes in the back of his expensive bike. As he was killing the lightweight one the bike came with.

It was raining hard the other day - I was in the van - I offered him a lift home with his bike. He refused and said he was gonna stick at the cycling - rain or shine. I think the real reason he was not sleeping well was because his wife left him - but the exercise has got him back sleeping.

The Black Night's cousin.

the retards with the dogs.

I need to visit Limerick soon 'ish to sprinkle Mum's ashes in the Shannon etc. The whole wanting to go back home thing. Hilarious really as she couldn't swim and hated getting her head wet.

You're not painting a good picture tbh. Maybe I'll bung the Ryanair pilot a few quid to fly low and just tip them out the window...

On a serious note this reminds me I still want to get an Irish passport.

We haven't seen any sabre-toothed tigers in our neighborhood for quite some time now.....years, perhaps.

However, we do get bears, but not the 'cave' variety. See photos below from our neighbor's trail camera.
