Yes I sleep really well and I am so grateful that I do, last night I slept solid for nine hours, my usual is eight and a half. But I can't just spring out of bed like I used to I still feel ill and mornings are not good for me I get better later in the day. Goodness knows how bad I would feel if I didn't sleep well you have my sympathy. Occasionally I do have trouble getting to sleep because of rest less legs though.
I always go to bed at the same time each night and get up the same time in the morning which I think does help, I also don't use computers after nine in the evening to give my brain time to calm down.
I have always been able to sleep well, but if I do get a night when I don't, I feel like death the next day.
I don't go to bed at the same time very night, I take my meds almost at the same time every night, but I do not go to my bed until I am feeling sleepy. Sleep hygiene does not work for me, and I think most patients, go ahead and try it. Worth a shot I guess, but don't let people who have good sleep because they follow this get you down!
I usually sleep more at night on the days I exercise, but sometimes it is the day after. The "fatigue" catches up to me, it seems. I use a CPAP machine with oxygen as wall, perhaps this helps me to be higher functioning than most?
I don't see the point in getting up every morning at the same time, we don't feel well. So often sleeping another 2 to 3 hours, and waking again. I feel better, so why be miserable the whole day? Just does not make sense!
I sleep, or am in bed from 8 to 12 hours a night/day.
