I slept with my door shut last night to keep the cats out so hopefully I would sleep better...I still woke up every little while, but I do think it was a little bit better without the pests crawling all over me all night thinking I need to get up in the middle of the night and feed them....but this lack of sleep is making me not feel very good....Music is my Religion and Pearl Jam, my Savior!

they don't scratch at the door? I've got one who insists on taking up the whole bed with me every night then gets mad when I move. The other one has been sounding the alarm at 630am waking me up thinking someone's broken in but she's just crying for no reason. I mean no good reason.PJSiren said:I slept with my door shut last night to keep the cats out so hopefully I would sleep better...I still woke up every little while, but I do think it was a little bit better without the pests crawling all over me all night thinking I need to get up in the middle of the night and feed them....but this lack of sleep is making me not feel very good....
I feel weird. After several nights in a row where i can't sleep for hours then fall asleep for an hour or two at a time regardless of whether or not I've taken an Ambien or tea or what time i've stopped eating/drinking I am starting to think my mental functioning has become impaired.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

I was pleasantly surprised to discover they did not scratch at the door...if they had I would definitely not have gotten any sleep that way...ldent42 said:

) But luckily the cat is not usually the one responsible for my lack of sleep. She just snores the cutest little kitty snore. ;;) Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

I suspect that your sleep schedule is pretty irregular Dimitris! The number one cause of insomnia! Maybe you'll straighten it out again once the tour is over.dimitrispearljam said:oh yeah...

@-) It's giving you hearing damage!! %-(RKCNDY said:don't worry Ident...we're all in the same boat for trying to sleep. I have some ambien from like 5 years ago...sometimes I want to take it, and then I'm afraid of what would happen if I did, would I just be all ambien high instead of sleeping?
I could sleep better if someone wouldn't snore so loud! I got a sound meter app on my phone so I could show them how loud they are... 75db
I feel like this most nights:
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

The lack of sleep this week is catching up to me...I totally forgot to take my pills this morning, and I never do that, so I'm blaming the sleep....and due to no pills I've been on edge all day...and another side effect of less sleep is wonderful headaches.....UGH!Music is my Religion and Pearl Jam, my Savior!

75 db is supposedly as loud as a vacuum cleaner... that couldn't be good for your ears all night every night, lol.RKCNDY said:

Cat people... If you spend 20 minutes playing with your cat and then feed them, just before bed on a regular ritual, they sleep through the night better! And if they try to wake you up for no good reason at god awful hours?? Ignore them! When they paw at your face, or try to get in your face, roll over. Believe it or not this comes from lack
Of stimulation.. So if you ignore them, they'll either go find the other cats to play with, or go back to bed.
So, I've been doing very mild yoga stretches to nice relaxing music before I get ready for bed.. Helps a little, but after 14 years of swing shifts, this crack if dawn shit is KILLING ME! I got the most sleep last night in two weeks! Ugh!0 -
Still waking up at every little sound...and normally I'm a heavy sleeper...but without J here I am barely falling asleep...have a fucking migraine this morning...THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! Just have to survive the workday....Music is my Religion and Pearl Jam, my Savior!
