maddmaxx ★ Posted March 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2020 Welcome to my world. Although since the tine change it's more like 10 to 4 instead of 9 to 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2020 My wife sent me to look for something in her bathroom cabinet. We have matching his and her wall cabinets in the master bath. I couldn’t find what she sent me to look for but I found packages of every kind of over the counter sleep aids imaginable. I never knew she had trouble sleeping. Well she sure got over that, now she is an expert sleeper. She sleeps all night and takes dozens of naps during the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted March 19, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 19, 2020 I think six hours sleep is normal for an older adult. From the time I was forty I would only sleep five or six hours. I never considered trying to sleep more, I would wake up and get up and start my day. Being retaard now I try to sleep longer and usually do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybeegb Posted March 19, 2020 Share #10 Posted March 19, 2020 Sleep two hours. Wake up for 30 minutes. Sleep two hours. Wake up for 30 minutes. All night long. Doesn't matter how late or early or how tired I am. Been like that for a LONG time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted March 19, 2020 Share #12 Posted March 19, 2020 4-5 hours for me, and it depends on the temperature outside and critters whether I get back to sleep again. However, being retired, I take naps sitting in the computer chair. Just now, I was out with the dogs and my wife was up with Lad. She'll go back to sleep, while I'll be here for a bit. I don't want to wait too long to fall asleep, as Lad has an appointment for his acupuncture at 9:30am. Sleep tight and don't let the 'bed bugs' bite. Not that I am inferring you have bed bugs, but that is what I say to the dogs, and they smile. Hope you have a Great Day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted March 19, 2020 Share #17 Posted March 19, 2020 One advantage to working from home for me is that I get to sleep later since I don't really have to "get ready" for work. I'm probably better rested than I have been for a long time, but I did notice stress seemed to be affecting my appetite at first (but I seem to have gotten over that as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 19, 2020 Share #20 Posted March 19, 2020 6 hours ago, Airehead said: I have been falling asleep quickly but cannot stay asleep. I had trouble sleeping last night. I'd look at the clock and see 4:28 am, doze off, then wake up expecting a lot of time had passed. The clock read 4:45 am. It gets to me every so often that virtually nothing is being done with my burnt house, due to understaffing at State Farm, slowing the contractual agreement with the company cleaning up, and the shortage of staff at the company cleaning up - which also has other jobs ongoing. Fortunately, State Farm said it will pay the $1900 rent on my apartment for up to two years! Hopefully, no more than half that will be needed but it's comforting to know I'm covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repurposed the three hours of my commute to sleep and exercise and even work, and man, does it feel great! Here is an article aboot how social distancing may be here to stay in one form or another, and it does fit in with what I have always thought, how dumb it is to do all this driving just to get to a workplace. Sure, lots of people have to do that, but shirley not all of us! The environment is shirley better off. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615370/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing-18-months/?utm_source=pocket-newtab 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the good stuff - I shared again with the office yesterday and had several positive comments from co-workers. I have enough for half a pot which I might make this afternoon with just a couple of us in the office today. Did I mention that I'm almost out of the good stuff?

Fall asleep slowly (usually have to read a while), then sleep well, but am a "light" sleeper, and if I do awaken, it is tough to get back to sleep again.

In bed around 930, up at 330, going back to sleep until I start work at 6. Work is actually a somewhat welcome distraction now, albeit temporary. I love my company for letting us work from home. It is a good company, and I sure hope it survives this debacle without major changes. I was glad to help you tuck Dottles in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
