Me i'm just a scaredy cat... I cant sleep cos i'm paranoid of strangers... Its very embarrassing... With DP on rotating shifts sometimes he's off to work when i'm about ready for bed..Wish my GP would give me something to help me...
Kim perhaps you need to try some relaxation or meditation of something before going to bed?
my dp leaves at 5 am for work, usually by this time dd is in our bed, and im dying for him to get up so i can push her over to his side, and stretch out! BUT i can never ever get back to sleep as soon as i hear him drive off!! it drives me nuts! i set my alarm for 8am, but sometimes its 7.30am and im still awake! argh!
i can doze, but can't get into a deep sleep if DH home and not in the bed with me - i'll wake up heaps looking for him, and eventually go and sook to him to come to bed. most of the time he's just watching TV and given we have a TV in the bedroom, i tell him to come watch with me (and promptly fall into a deep sleep!)
with him working away, i can't sleep much at all. i never sleep the first night he's away, and if i know he's coming home overnight or next day, i struggle to sleep too. if he's away several days, i'll sleep ok sometimes, reallllllllllly bad the rest of the time. the only time i sleep well while he's away is if i know he's asleep at the same time - i hang out for the nights when he has his long break over night so that i can sleep.
tonight will be another shocker - he's headed north again, and i will likely wake up at least half a dozen times, ring him a couple of times just to hear his voice....
hmmmm prolly should head to bed soon i think - all this sleep talk is making me tired!
