Do You Like Sleeping?

I had a good nights sleep also.

Kind of cross-reference from the thread about fibromyalgia, I have been saying for the last couple of years that I'm getting old and I need to get up in the night to go to the toilet but I've been analyzing my sleep and the fact is it's not my bladder that wakes me up. It's the fact that I toss and turn in bed like a rotisserie chicken because of the pain in my hip or my foot.
This was clear when I got medication from my doctor which was for the pain in my hip and I slept straight through the night with no need to go to the toilet so no pain in my hip = no need for the toilet , unfortunately the painkiller also had terrible side effects that made me think I was having a heart attack it but it's helped me realize that my bladder is not the issue.

I'm looking at other ways to manage my pain and hopefully give myself a better night sleep.

Up and about at 5:30 this morning. Plenty of the day to be had.

Up around 4 this morning. It looks to be a nice day.

I was up just before 07:00

7ish this morning. Yes, it was just before 7:00. I had been laying there since about 6:00

Every time I get up early I end up needing a nap later in the day.

I kept waking up last night. Several times but I dropped off again very quickly so slept well.

I woke up today, Cassie, at 8:30am. Any earlier and I'd be asleep right about now.

I do wonder too: how do doctors decide what is normal sleep? Some people need much more sleep than others: like myself. It isn't laziness or not being bothered: it is needing to sleep.

I've always slept a lot, so that is normal for me.

Wow...  You slept that late...  lol...

Why not?  lol...   I get up at 4:30 am everyday.   

I do!

This morning it was 5:00 as I had an early appointment to see. 

Like I mentioned I am up at 4:30 everyday and it usually doesn't matter what time I go to bed. Most of the times that is between 11;30 and midnight.
