1.40 am...can't sleep and bloody annoyed

[Charlotte's Web]

I suppose I am going to learn how to go to sleep without AL.

Hubby is asleep, fidgeting, snuffling, snoring and kicking about. Son has moved from his bed to the spare room without me knowing. I am on a CPAP machine so moving rooms means moving the machine. I will do that tomorrow.

In the meantime, I am seriously annoyed as I am going to feel crap when I get up -not through AL but lack of sleep.

Charlotte - it takes a little time......... you can't expect miracles immediately. Your sleep will get better - at least it did for me. I now have the best sleep of my adult life. Hope the same will be true for you - just be patient.

Hi there,

Mine got much better as well. After about three weeks I was getting the best sleeps ever, I haven't had them this good in a very long time. It does get better.. as far as the snoring husband the only thing I can recommend is a pillow for over his head..just kidding.

hunni, may i ask why are you on a cpap machine?
To start with it is hard to sleep. I find putting the tv on low and just relaxing helps. I also close my eyes and try to remember the dreams ive had before which tends to send me off quickly.

I'm on the CPAP machine for sleep apneoa. It's an amazing help. Once I am asleep, I sleep well. I think I shall move into the spare room for a while until I have learned to go to sleep without AL.

Hi CW, I'm awake late here, too. But at least I know I won't wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing because I didn't drink a bottle of wine before passing out! I am reading posts and it looks like it only gets better the longer we stay sober. I'm going to give it my best try.

Hello Charlotte,

this isn't meant to be an advert, but I've found the following earplugs to be very good. I have VERY noisy neighbours, but these earplugs and a large quantity of whisky each night work for me.

Edit: Sorry - maybe the whisky bit wasn't the most helpful suggestion in the world. Hopefully you will understand.

I've tried earplugs and they make me dizzy. As well has learning to sleep without AL, I also need how to learn to relax as being awake and listening to hubby makes me irritable.

I am tired today but not hungover. I had to resort to the sofa and slept without the CPAP machine.

I have already told son that I am claiming the spare room for a few nights "as daddy is snoring too much."
