well Manic-I wish I was like your wife and only needed 3-4 hours' sleep!! Lucky her!! my father was like that too his whole life.
So I slept 3 hrs. last night; had a long day and thought I'd go to sleep early tonight. So I just feel asleep for TEN WHOLE MINUTES...got woken up by a door closing....and now will be up 1/2 the night and only get 3 hrs of sleep again..that's the way it always happens. sleep 10 minutes-and can't fall back to sleep. yes, it makes anxiety worse I think...
I dont' get it! So would sleeping drugs mitigate being a 'light sleeper'? Not that i want to take more drugs..are there any alternative remedies? herbs? vitamins?
Almost everytime I get a chance to get a good nights sleep-wanting to catch up--it doesn't happen. But for some reason, I stopped having lucid dreams. I haven't been remembering my dreams very well either...does anyone know what that means?
I need my sleep!
