And you will if he's close by. I can even hear Parker in the living room with the fan on. You need your sleep, so it would be worth it to try.Squishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609283994605336235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308432820597369862.post-74700973992981393192014-04-24T11:28:08.548-06:002014-04-24T11:28:08.548-06:00it does suck that we all have sleep troubles!!!!
...it does suck that we all have sleep troubles!!!! <br />I know a fan would help but I am afraid to use it as I worry I won't hear Tate needing to go out :( or sometimes now he gets stuck on the stairs, and he can't get up, so he whines and I have to go help him, so sad :(<br />onecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786202513090606338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308432820597369862.post-11151372211638825002014-04-24T11:14:16.252-06:002014-04-24T11:14:16.252-06:00I hear you about the sleep deprivation and always ...I hear you about the sleep deprivation and always being tired. The hyper- thyroidism really played havoc with my sleep--waking up after an hour of sleep, then not being able to sleep for hours. It's better with the thyroid medication and the homeopathic treatments. But still I am wakeful all too often. Because Duffy has those periodic bouts of IBD, and needs to go out urgently at 12, or 1, or 3 in the morning, my sleep gets broken up. And sometimes I think I hear that sharp yip he gives to let me know he's got to go, and I jump up to find that he's laying down, sleeping. So now I'm hearing his yip in my sleep!! Great!!<br />We have too much on our minds these days--too many worries. And if there's chronic pain too, that's not going to help. My back is usually hurting so much that I can't just roll over in bed--I have sit up and then turn over, and because of the thyroid meds, I get cramps and stitches at all kind of different places in my body--legs, thighs, back, sides, stomach. It's amazing we get as much done as we do!! I have to sleep with some kind of noise on too--otherwise I'd lie there all night listening to every sound, every breath everyone takes, every movement they make--hey that a Sting song!! :)I hope the sleep study might give you some answers and help.Dianne SShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898741341490904783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308432820597369862.post-9633147518800635022014-04-24T08:42:58.972-06:002014-04-24T08:42:58.972-06:00The other thing that helps me sleep is to have a f...The other thing that helps me sleep is to have a fan on and the louder the better. If T & I travel in the RV, I am up all night listening to him snore because we usually don't have electrical hookup, hence no fan. I also worry about my dogs so I'll sleep better away from home without the responsibility here of everyone. If you haven't tried a fan, do that. Or, if you don't like the wind on you, try some sort of device that makes white noise. I like the wind. The colder the better!

I almost NEVER sleep more than 1 1/2 - 2 hours at a time and get up at least 6 times a night. I have been chronically fatigued for as long as I remember and many days, have been so tired to go out and feed horses was so hard to do. I've been so tired I've wanted to cry and that would be on a regular basis. About the only thing that will help me sleep thru the night, or most of the night is to ride 50-100 miles and then I may get 5-7 hours straight. So, that's a couple of times a year. Physical exertion is the key for me and lately I've been doing that so sleeping pretty good the last week or so. I feel for you.Squishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609283994605336235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308432820597369862.post-89437723738643379412014-04-23T18:00:28.316-06:002014-04-23T18:00:28.316-06:00I'm visiting from Dog Dad's blog in Key We...I'm visiting from Dog Dad's blog in Key West. I have trouble staying asleep too...many many nights I see all the hours go by. And I did the sleep test, and stayed awake listening to the guy in the next room snore. As my husband does. Makes me nuts, now I sleep in the guest room and it's a little better. I'm just a light sleeper. Plus stressed at work. Combination makes for short nights. I feel your pain. I hope you can figure it out soon!!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308432820597369862.post-19286740078587290242014-04-23T17:57:55.756-06:002014-04-23T17:57:55.756-06:00I understand that you are very frustrated that som...I understand that you are very frustrated that something so simple can be so complicated. Not sleeping is a scourge. I hope you can find some relief soon. It could make such a difference in your life.Sharriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631430089056544389noreply@blogger.com
