      I slept on one of those pillows but I kept waking up with my arm extended straight out for some reason.

        The pillow was making you gay for Mike Pillow, that was your hand reaching out to fondle his balls.

    Just sleep on that futon again for a month. You will sleep like a baby when you sleep in bed again.

    That much melatonin will give you weird sweat nightmares. I just mention this because a lot of people think more mg = more sleep but at 10+ mg melatonin does real weird shit to your REM cycle. Most evidence shows that the optimal dose is often less than 1 mg. Just in case you’re curious.

      I’ve hard that dietary melatonin is generally best to avoid unless suggested by your physician.

    I sleep well as long as my wife is there. She can roll us from one side of the bed to the other or off it even and I’ll continue sleep like a rock. The moment she’s sick or has trouble sleeping is when I also have trouble sleeping, which is fine with me.

    I do sometimes miss being younger and sleeping any where, any time though.

      I stopped drinking fluids three hours before sleep and that’s helped. Just have to hydrate well early in the day.

      Doesn’t work if i drink any alcoholic or sugary beverages.

    I feel like my body wants to stay up for 30 hours followed by 14 hours of sleep.
    I need a different planet.

    Best thing for sleep was a CPAP (in my case anyways). I can make a cocoon with blankets and even cover my head since I can breathe via the machine. Best I’ve ever slept.

      That’s what the fan is for. I leave a strategic gap between bed and blanket to allow for airflow. Works especially well when turned against wall, then I breathe through the gap between bed and the wall.

      I can’t sleep with my head uncovered.

    Is “a fan” here a person who stands next to your sleeping body in the dark and watches you? In that case I don’t want one.

    45: $20,000 in sinus surgery so you aren’t halfway suffocating while you sleep.

      Got a coworker where his sinuses just built up again or something after a few years and his doctor told him he’d have to have it done again. Best of luck to you.

    cannot confirm, there has never been a time in my life when I was able to fall asleep easily when I should, not in my childhood, not teenage years, nor more recently :(

    40+ here and the only reason why I don’t sometimes sleep well is because I chose to play games until 2am.
