I’ve never had much problem sleeping, thankfully! Except that one time I was on diet pills. I was strung out and could only sleep for 2 or 3 hours at a time. Crazy thinking back to that. LOL

This increase in exercise is helping me sleep.

Sometimes I imagine I’m a pioneer pushing a handcart across the plains. I’m cold, hungry, body sore and have the ground as my bed. Then I’m brought to my real bed. The whole of me feels its softness, warmth and comfort. I am thankful for it.

Sounds strange, I know, but it works for me.
Very good post.

It’s rare for me not to feel sleep-deprived. Like DMcConell, staying asleep is my biggest problem. Almost every night, I get up after sleeping 2-3 hours, roam around the house, cuddle my dog, watch TV, have some hot (decaf) tea or juice, and eventually drift back to bed. Lately, I’ve been taking a book and tiny booklight to bed; instead of getting up, I read a while and find myself losing much less sleep. I think I’m disturbing my husband either way.

I have a lot of trouble sleeping lately. The best thing I can do is get comfy put on some relaxing music and curl up with pillows. I fall asleep the exact same way though hahaha with the leg slightly up, soooo comfy =)

I fall asleep fairly easily, but staying asleep is a problem. Seems I get what one friend calls the “3am heebie jeebies”. I snap awake at around the same time every night and often have trouble stilling the creative thoughts. The disruption is probably just a natural but undesirable part of my sleep cycle.

Fortunately, I rarely have trouble falling asleep. Thanks for the reminder! Your steps are spot on. I would encourage you to shift your primary sleeping position away from your stomach, though. That was my preferred method, too, until my chiropractor helped me to understand that it’s the worst position for your back and body alignment. I still visit the stomach position, I just don’t hang out there.

Being a creative, I have this weird ability to think about 20 things at crazy speeds as soon as the house gets quiet and everyone else is in bed! To help ‘flush’ my mind of all (potentially) brilliant ideas that I won’t be able to live without, I jot things down on my iPhone, which also serves as my alarm clock. I carry my iPhone with me everywhere – if it were made of soap it would be in the shower too. But it’s great for clearing my head, even as I walk upstairs.

I like the sleeping position idea.

Awesome post (again!) .Thanks Seth!
