How do you wake up?

Lounge

I woke up fully dressed, taking up way more than half the bed, and on top of the blankets. Do you think my husband will still love me?

I distinctly remember him trying to wake me up to put on my sleep shirt, I remember saying “I will in a minute” multiple times" I swear I sleep like the dead. Once your asleep do you wake up easy or sleep hard? Do your meds affect it?

I somehow undress in my sleep.

I also find it hard to wake up!

I find it very hard to wake up. If someone else is there and I have to get up for their sake, I will, but otherwise, I could sleep through a nuclear war

I have really severe insomnia. I always have, since I was a baby. It usually takes me a few hours to fall asleep, I’m a really light sleeper, and I wake up a million times a night, when I can actually sleep. Meds don’t really change much. Some make me sleep less, but I haven’t found anything to be sedating, besides Ambien (but I had s really bad experience with that, so I only took it the once).

How do you wake up? I throw off the bedclothes and roll all the way out of bed.

I am usually a lite sleeper but lately I’ve been in REM several times. Lots of exciting, vivid dreams. Meds do affect how long I sleep.

I’m so sorry that you have this problem. I’m a nervous wreck when I don’t get enough sleep. I can’t even imagine how you’ve dealt with it all these years.

Try attacking him first next time… Shaking things up a little.

I used to hit snooze several times before getting up, but not lately. I used to annoy the hell out my (ex-) gf by doing that. Lately, since starting the new job, I wake up for the first alarm (I still set a backup alarm on my old phone), at either 2:30am or 3:30am, depending on whether I’m starting work at 6am or 7am. I try to be in bed by 6:30-7pm so I can get adequate sleep. I still need coffee first thing to get me fully awake. Oh, and I wake up naked, since that’s how I sleep.

I usually wake up feeling very confused because my dreams seem very real.

If I’m not leaving the house, I wake up very easily but if I have to go somewhere then it’s so difficult to wake up.

I find it very hard to get to sleep. Takes a while and some nights I keep waking up again. The meds help alot with the getting to sleep. I wake up really awake right away, but still want to laze around in bed. Then during the day, I fall asleep anywhere :frowning: Oh well.

I wake up right away too, even if it’s 2am, then I fall asleep sitting at my computer desk or sitting on the sofa sometimes. It used to never be that way when I was younger. I used to envy “old” people who could take naps anywhere. Now I’m one of them. lol

Mrs. Pixel woke me around 9 am. Overslept. Had a lot of trouble with back pain last night and barely got any shuteye. She has been putting up with my odd sleeping habits for nearly 20 years, so there is hope for you @tera.

I too take up way more than half the bed.

Its a California King, too, so there are just no excuses.

I wake up every morning at 4:45 and make my husband breakfast, usually a breakfast burrito.

Then I wake him up, watch news, drink coffee, smoke weed.

Everyday.

Well, except weekends…

I always sleep in my clothes, with my arms around my teddy bear. My cat wakes me up every morning. Darn him! Anyway, I always jump right out of bed in the morning.

Well Mr. Teras been putting up with my cockamamie sleep patterns for 8 years and still just as patient and kind as ever so he’ll probably forgive me this time too. Poor man needs a good night’s sleep though.

As long as I get 7 hours of sleep I’m okay. I sit up in bed and smoke a cigarette before I do anything else. Then I take a shower and get ready. But I didn’t take a shower today because I woke up a little before 830 when my youngest woke up. Stayed up past 1 am last night. Watched the boxing match. I usually sleep in the shirt I wore that day.

@GoldenRex lol do they make a bed bigger than the calking? you may want to get 2 beds so your honey can sleep. But it’s probably worth it for the breakfast burrito anyway, yummy!

@Gina2 If you’re waking up already in your clothes it’s kinda cool because you wake up ready already, lol. That’s cute that you have a teddy bear, maybe your cat is jealous and that’s why she wakes you up. My mind jumps out of bed in the morning but my back doesn’t, I’m old.
