Sleep preference - Spermoff from JustStupid medicine thread

[TommyGavin 790]

So a few of you said NyQuil is the bomb and I said it’s great for short term sleep. 

Question. Would you rather sleep solid all night and wake up with an alarm or would you rather wake up say 2 hours before you need to get up and rejoice knowing you have 2 more hours of sleep. 

I’m the second. I get up at 5:30 and love it when I wake up at 3AM (usually to pee) and say to myself 2 1/2 more hours before I have to get up !!!!

That said 99% of the time I wake up without alarm. 

[shorepatrol 1,740]

Alarm. I toss and turn if I wake up and see it's not focking time to wake up 

[Strike 4,081]

It depends what time I go to sleep.  If I'm up late and getting up early I'd rather sleep all the way through.  On weekends I tend to sleep in at least one of the days and in that case I'm ok with waking up and realizing I have another couple hours of sleep.  On rare occasions I wake up thinking it's a weekday and then realize it's a weekend and that's even better.

[TommyGavin 790]

Question was meant for work days. Not days off.

Haven't needed an alarm clock since we got our Labrador 2 years ago

Good call. 5:30 is like feeding time at the zoo

[jerryskids 5,358]

I can't remember the last time I slept through the night; I drink a lot of water, and with my, umm, mature prostate, I usually get up at least twice to pee.  I'd love to sleep through the night, alarm or no.

[MTSkiBum 1,605]

I have had terrible insomnia the last few weeks. I would easily pay a couple hundred dollars to sleep 8 hours tonight.

 

To answer the question. I will set my alarm and hopefully it is what wakes me up.

[5-Points 2,773]

I wake up several times a night. Not to pee or anything, I just wake up every couple/few hours. I hate waking up an hour before I need to get up. At that point I may as well just get up early because if I go back to sleep I inevitably wake up more tired/groggy than I was when I woke up an hour earlier. 

The only time I sleep for a solid 6 or 7 hours straight is if I stayed up late drinking.

I'm the only guy I know that doesn't have to piss all night

I've cut back some on the water and it's helped; I still wake up some, but I don't pee that much.  I think my body is just trained to wake up every few hours now, like you describe.

Unless I drink a lot like you said, but I don't do that that often anymore.

That’s because you spend all day pissing on yourself here

[Hawkeye21 1,895]

I like waking up a half hour to an hour before my alarm and just zone in and out. Sometimes I’ll just get up. 

[TommyGavin 790]

This

[listen2me 23 1,572]

Im an insomniac and I will tell you right now taking nyquill for sleep is trashy.  And bad for you.  Sickly bunch.  

Id rather sleep.  Because I am an insomniac.   I want sleep.  But I routinely wake up about 20 minutes before my alarm.  Sleeping in on the weekends is 6am

But something must work.   Not that fat and never ger sick.  

Cracks me up when someone gets 6 hours and bltch and moan about how they slept.  Lol.

Agree with this.  Sucks waking up a clear hour before the alarm especially if you didn't get to bed well.  There is no point in trying to go back to sleep.  Makes it worse.  

Also, have no idea what thr snooze button is for.   If I want to get up 5 or 10 minutes later why not set it 5 or 10 later? Snooze is bizarre but apparently people use it.  

[WhiteWonder 2,207]

I very much enjoy when I wake up, look at my alarm and see I have another 2 hours. I know it's probably not as good for me as sleeping straight through but it's a great feeling. On the flip side if I see 20 minutes before my alarm then i'm just annoyed. 

I'm a night owl. I go to sleep too late and wake up too early. Definitely could use more sleep. Thankfully I very rarely have trouble falling asleep.

it's all psychological. Like a kid telling his parent "10 more minutes" on a school morning. you're not really even sleeping, you just don't want to get out of bed but you're afraid you'll fall asleep and be late without the alarm so you hit snooze instead of turning the alarm off.

I havent set an alarm in years. I do what i want and dont have a boss. I am the boss.

Last night I went to bed at 9:00. Woke up at 12:00, 1:45 and 3:30. Got up at 5:30. Good times.

That’s about my schedule but don’t go to bed until 10:30/11 but up at least 3 times before 5:30

Yup. I sleep well but can't fall asleep much before midnight and up no later than 6. 5-6 hours of sleep is standard at least 5X per week. If my wife gets less than 7 on any given night she's a mess. I have coworkers that arrive the same time as I do that are in bed asleep at 9 every night. Cowards.

Z-Quil works pretty good for me.  The purple tastes the best.  I have same problem.  Random thoughts I just can't get out of head when trying to sleep.

I try to get to bed early knowing I'm going to wake up a lot. Hopefully I can string together a solid 6 hours of sleep before I have to get up.

That's the worst. Wake up at 1:30, something pops into my head, usually work related, and I spend the next 30 minutes thinking about it and getting pissed that I can't just go back to sleep.

I don't want to know how you "rejoice" yourself.

My Doc put me on pills.

I sleep like Joe Biden giving a speech. 

[BunnysBastatrds 1,954]

 My prostrate is also old but a lot wiser than it was in my roaring drinking twenties. Had two one night stands that I ended up having to buy two new mattresses at Sears to replace the ones I, uhhhh, stained. And two sets of sheets and bedspreads. One was a pisser too. 
 

 I used to drink heavily to sleep. Now I’ve cut down a lot and learned the majic that little pink pill named Benadryl does at night night time. Best fawking sleep I’ve ever had in my. Life. And my dreams are unreal. I highly recommend them. Not addictive like some others.

Just don’t take little pink pill and little blue pill or you’ll have a hard time sleeping. 
:wink:

[Pimpadeaux 2,310]

I'm usually out within minutes my head hits the pillow, and I'll sleep like a rock for eight or nine hours. I have to get up to pee every now and then, but only if I've had a nightcap.

When you're unemployed, don't have a woman and live in your mom's basement, this is a great way to look at it.

Like how you interjected the word “Hard”

 One of my favorite Rescue Me episodes is when Tommy’s side piece who was so fawking hot, put vicadin and viagra in his Jameson. Let him pass out and ride while he out.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

FYI nyquil or other sleep aids was not mentioned by the FDA as drugs potentially pulled from store shelves for ineffectiveness. Dayquil was.  
 

gutterboy is free to argue with the FDA on banning dayquil for being useless. The FDA says it and others listed are useless, gutterboy says it has value. Gutterboy sucks so we see who wins there.

Yeah that was a great scene.

I miss my dead kats soo much.  Biscuit kittah would always sleep under the sheets and snuggle with me and his negro brotha Boots kitteh would always sleep on top of the covers (always above Biscuit...Seriously...RIGHT ON TOP) 
Hence, my night sleeping was very erratic.  

If you look at Skids avatar, that's my Boots kitteh.

I believe him.  I've drawn the conclusion that he does online sales of prepper gear.  I'm pretty convinced of it.  Everything he posts jives with that narrative.
