Sleep

[Danimal]

Usually I sleep from midnight to 6:30 or so.

Every 8-10 nights I only get a couple of hours of sleep when on call. Then for a night or two after I go to bed a little earlier, around 10 or so.

My wife is asleep by 10 PM probably 90% of the time and gets up at 5 or even a little earlier to run.

So my question regarding sleep habits for the married folks: Does anybody go to bed at the exact same time as your spouse every night?

Marsupial and I never go to bed at the same time during the week. She goes to bed early and is up early to exercise. On the weekend she often stays up late with me though.

Depends on what you mean by "go to bed." We're often physically in bed at the same time but it's pretty common for me to be up another hour or two reading or playing online. Mpfunk is usually asleep within a couple of minutes. I stare at the back of his head angrily when I'm trying to fall asleep myself and can't.

I take Benadryl 25 mg or 50 mg when I need to sleep -- works great for me and no prescription required. The 50 mg dose makes it a little tougher to get out of bed the next morning.

My sleep medicine friend says that the mess like ambien only decrease time to sleep onset by a few minutes. I see trazodone prescribed a lot. Unfortunately taking a lot of these meds result in tolerance.

Also my understanding is that CBT for insomnia is just as effective as meds and results are much longer lasting.

Really? I haven't heard this. I should look into that more.

Yes it's called "CBTi" and is manualized. It's brief only about 6 sessions. With your training you could probably self-administer.

Yes, if I could get him to give it up occasionally I'd sleep much better. :eyeroll:

If I was married to a woman, I think I would need more seduction tips. Seducing a man is exceedingly simple.
