What Keeps You Awake At Night?

[ejholt]

I stay awake some nights if I have something I am worrying about.  I try to clear my mind before I lay down.  I work 5 days a week and need all the sleep I can get. Hope everyone has a good day.

I always go right to sleep after I turn my problems over to God. I wake up real early though,before the chickens are up.

Not feeling tired.  Just have to workout more so I'll definitely fall asleep.

Nothing really keeps me awake at night because I only get about six hours of sleep a night.  Last night, however (strange that you should ask), I couldn't sleep for about an hour after going to bed. I had been recalculating my personal financial goals because I have another investment goal that I want to hit in ten years. I pulled out my phone (darn those things) and started doing future value calculations based on how much additional cash I thought I could bring in if I pushed myself a tad harder.  I then calculated the future value based on several different, conservative, interest rates. When I woke up this morning and walked the dogs I was still working the numbers through my head...went to work and as soon as I was done with my ten hour shift I began thinking about it again and have almost got the plan worked out!

When I have a lot on my mind I don't sleep well or if there is too much noise outside.

Usually anxiety and stress before a college test... I got over that problem by studying most of the night and sleep for 4-5 hours... If I can't get a full day of sleep, might as well use that time to study more

NOTHING keeps me awake.  No matter what's going on, I know for my own health's sake that sleep is a necessity.  We worry about things enough while we're awake.  I don't let these things stand in my way of getting a good night's rest.  In times of stressful situations, I know I have to be thinking my clearest, and focus on that.

I have a problem both getting to sleep at night and getting back to sleep if I wake up due to health issues. I have found that if I drink a cup of Sleepytime tea about half an hour before I go to bed it helps me fall asleep. I can repeat the cup during the night if I wake and cant go back to sleep too. With the number of prescriptions I have to take , including ones for sleep, it helps to have a natural remedy to help me when its needed.

really, nothing keeps me awake at night, unless I am in pain or hurting somewhere on my body.  I try not to worry about things so that do not keep me up at night.

my son's death, he was only 8 that keeps me up at night a lot of the times, but even before that I had trouble sleeping because he had a lot of medical issues that kept us both up at night at times. But stress, his death, my younger daughter, my relationship, a lot of things keep me up at night, maybe that's why I have horrible dark circles and bags under my eyes.
