I'm talking about sleep.

I know I don't get enough of it, and I have real trouble falling asleep...but oh man, there is not much better than being tired, crawling into bed and quickly drifting off to LaLaLand.

Weekends

YES!

Oh my god, it's the best feeling ever.

I mean, ever.

But it's sort of like flying for me. I fucking hate the long lines, being treated like cattle (I mean serious, $1,500 bucks to be treated like cattle?) the cold ass air on the plane, the dry air....the pretzles ....

....but lawd, do I love taking off and landing

That's sleep to me....I hate to oversleep...I hate the groggy feeling in the mornings when you don't want to roll out of bed....

...but my goodness do I love plopping down on bed, especially after a hot shower, on clean sheets and just drifting off....it's like crack.

yeah having to get up in the mornings is a crime

I guess so. I hate wasting time on sleep, but I appreciate a good nights sleep.

The best bit is laying in bed before falling asleep, just relaxing. And I hate getting out of the bed in the mornings.

I wish I could sleep and enjoy it. Sleeping is not really my favorite activity. It´s difficult for me to fall asleep even though I know exactly what to do for a good night´s sleep. It takes a lot to make me feel tired, most of the time I´m overenergetic to the point of overexhaustion. I know I should sleep more. It just feels like a big waste of time to me. I know it´s not, and I know about the health benefits but I just can´t sleep well.

Mornings FUCKING SUCK!

yes. love waking up totally rested and relaxed, like, cocooned in bed, puzzling over what the heck did that dream mean????

I was thinking about this thread before bed last night and was thinking, "I never have nightmares or scary dreams".

Well, last night I had a scary dream.

I probably love it more than you do! During the week I don't get it as much as I should, but on the weekends when I can sleep in and get out of bed feeling 100% rested; hard to beat that feeling.

Meh.. its just something I have to do... Id rather be up and doing something... Although, I do enjoy a good nap if im tired on the weekend...

Yes, though I can't remember the last really good sleep I had due to my shithead neighbours.

I love, love, love a good sleep.

And a sleep that starts with being buzzed on oral progesterone is just about the best thing ever.

I love sleep!

Love love love it!

And I'm pretty damn good at it. I love sleeping at night, I love sleeping in, in the morning, I love lazy afternoons on the couch that turn into naps you didn't even plan on.

And let me tell you, hell hath no fury like me, when someone is keeping me awake. It's probably the worst thing anyone could possibly do to me - disturb my sleep.

Oh - and I generally get enough sleep. 7-9 hours a night. But I also have a hard time sleeping in once I'm on a regular pattern. Sleeping past 7 on a weekend is "sleeping in" for me.

That's how I can tell I'm depressed - when I can stay in bed and just keep falling back asleep. And when that happens, I can do that for literally days, staying awake for only a few hours at a time. Moving from bed to couch to bed, etc.

Interesting. I'm the opposite when i'm depressed. Insomnia kicks in.

I'm the same way...

Up at 5am, busy all day.

I lay across my bed and napped for about an hour after work today, tho.

I'm a night person so I naturally want to stay up 'til 1 or 2am and then sleep 'til 10 or 11am.

But I need to be up a 5:30am to get to work on time...which of course, rarely happens.

Love is too weak a word for what I feel. I luuurve it, you know - I loave it. I luff it - two 'F's.

sometimes (about once every 3 months,) i have a sleeping phase live-out. it's like where i'll go about 3 to 5 days just to feel totally unfettered. i usually go horizontal for up to 10-12hrs per 24hrs.

during my "sleep phase live out," i appreciate my sleep the most. it's like i'm in a nice dark royal blue pillowy moderately warm room, and i'm feeling totally blissed-out in a most good way.

then after the phase i'm back to my normal 5-7hrs per night.

my friend says when i do this i'm actually "re-charging" my batteries.

to answer the question: yes, during my sleeping phase thing, "i luv my sleep."

I'm retired and I never get up until 11 AM. I even have my hubby trained.

has mixed feelngs about the process of falling asleep n the thoughts i have b4 hand sometimes .. n i cant stand bad dreams .. appreciates the rest but the process for me isnt that ez. Takes ambien for an ezr transition.
