Default I am having a hard time sleeping

I seem to need less hours of sleep. My husband is like, are you tired and I repy with, not really. lol We both tried to go to sleep around like 9pmish last night and I was up, and he was like sleeping for two hours. He woke up and then when I tried to go to sleep I couldn't. He tried to go back to sleep He could not so we watched the office sitcom. We were up until 5amish. It was pretty bad I told him wake me up at 9am. He gave me a cup of coffee right away when he kissed me good morning. I got out of bed with no problem.

So I am guessing if I were to sleep on a schedule meaning waking up at the same time every morning I will fall asleep better. I am so bad at schedule. So now I have to try real hard to make a sleep schedule.

I refuse to use sleeping aides. I just do not want them. I know I can sleep good. I just need to set my body to the schedule.

Sharla, what helps me get on a sleep schedule is staying active during the day which wears me out. My sleep pattern is very irratic. About every other day I seem to have energy for different reasons and every other day I can't get moving.

Dear Sharla,
Sometimes sleep meds help for a week or so to get someone back on track.

i use bendryl as a sleep aide. It works pretty good. Today I have to stay in the house because my foot hurts. It hurts for no reason. I just woke up like this. I woke up really tired today because my husband woke me up at 10am. That is early for me. I need a job. I am making a resume today. I hope my foot gets better.

Sharla

Sharla,

I hope your foot feels better soon. What template do you plan to use as a resume? I'm just curious. I used the functional one.
