I'm with frank and ooo.I can 'Martini' sleep...any time,any place,anywhere.I can do the wake up without alarm clock trick aswell.
We must be sleep gifted.
I struggle to sleep more than 8 hours in a night, after that I automatically wake up and staying in bed makes me feel horrible for the rest of the day. On days off I prefer a shorter main sleep then an afternoon nap of 35 minutes.
My afternoon nap always feels like very productive sleep. I fall asleep within a minute or so and after waking experience about 45 minutes of sleep enertia but then feel extremely refreshed for the remainder of the day.
Often my night sleeps are plagued with horrific nightmares (usually involving me being stabbed, sometimes I wake because of muscle spasms that feel like I am really being stabbed) that prevent me from feeling refreshed in the morning. I always make sure I wind down before bed as well, tv is off at least an hour before I go to sleep.
I also tend to nap on the train to and from work, usually about 10 or 15 minutes each time.
Doesn't your brain start to slow down when you sleep for long hours every night and don't do much during the day??... I think it's caused by a lack of stimuli.
I slept the best part of eleven hours a night for the best part of a month when I was driving round New Zealand. Sleep is ace.
[i]It doesn't end up like normal sleep though, just a fug of dozing and bizarre hallucinations[/i]
it's called dreaming! 😉

That would explain a lot about the quality of posts on here.....

You weren't taking part in the sheep census were you?
haha, nope. When I wasn't out hiking and mountain biking I was driving from town to town and looking for places to camp. I was in bed asleep by 21:30 most nights and up around 08:00 in the morning. I probably felt the healthiest I've ever been.

I think I might see where the issue lies here... (-:
🙂 I've tried removing that stimulus. I can honestly say that makes absolutely zero difference to my sleeping, even if I have a fresh one when I go to bed.
I tried that sleep app last night, didn't realise I moved about so much in my sleep - seem to have some sort of activity every hour.
I also have a lot of sleep now. I have to adapt my new lifestyle because of my work. After taking Vitamins for a month, I observed that I now spend most of my time sleeping for 12 hrs. And I like it. I can rest very well.
I'd like more sleep please. Jnr's getting up at 4-5am to either go to the loo / tell us he's wet the bed (we are nightime potty training, sigh, plus my own er "No 2" cycle has changed so that I need to get up at 3am for a poo. :-/
I went to bed a 6.30 yesrterday (headache) and woke up 20 minutes ago.....and I feel GREAT!
Been trying that app some more. I move about a LOT at night, but you can't wake me up for toffee!
