Most of the time when I lack sleep, it's my own choice, LOL. I usually don't get to bed until 2 a.m. at the earliest. I like it though, LOL.

You're right. It seems many of my best conversations occur around 12am-3 am...  That also seems to be when I'm the most creative.

Notice it's mostly the women here who are saying we don't sleep well? Do all our men sleep like logs and snore the night away? LOL

I am definitely not the worlds best sleeper. I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep is hard for me too. I am especially bad when I am upset or have lots on my mind.

I am forcing myself to either stay awake or wake up very very early to meet various deadlines but falling asleep only takes a minute these days. I feel for everyone who lives in a state of insomnia. It is so frustrating. I used to drag worries about projects or other life issues into the bedroom until one fine day my body developed some safety valve. When thoughts were too overwhelming, my mind went blank and I fell asleep. Or I read a page or two and dozed off.

I am a light sleeper and I sleep okay most nights, but recently my husband has started snoring real bad so I don't seem to get any sleep any more.

I'm a light sleeper so I tend to wake up often throughout the night. Also, when I'm worried or upset about something I have a hard time clearing my head. I tend to be a worrier so it's something I'm trying to work on! I sure wish I slept better. Then I'd stop relying on caffeine as much, I'm sure!

When I am worried, stressed or ill I cannot sleep. I have to take sleep aids and sometimes THAT doesn't even work. But you could say I sleep good for the most part.
