My interest and fascination with sleep is probably linked to my sleep disorder. I have had the disorder my entire life so it feels normal to me and I don’t find it to be much of a problem for me. Sometimes it is a problem for others.
Still the more I learn about sleep the more I wonder if other things are connected to me sleep or lack of it, and I am completely unaware. I have decided to take this journey and learn more about sleep in general and hopefully find some solutions.
So I am in the searching phase of the project. I am reading all the things I can get a hold of and comparing them. Hopefully, I will learn and perhaps some solutions that might be helpful for family members and the way we all deal with the differences.

My sleep pattern these days is that I doze off during the evening – usually while watching TV – wake up at about 10 or 11, and am then wide awake until after midnight – sometimes up to 1 a.m. – when I then go to bed, waking up again at around 6.30.
Dream setting (Albert did a post about this a while ago) interests me. Where you work really hard right before you go to sleep to set what you will dream about.
I get 8 hour of sleep at night and an hour in day time
I regularly get enough sleep from 10 pm to 5 am but there are times that I would wake at midnight and would take 30 minutes before I could go back to sleep.
with me it’s that if I am sleepy I can fall asleep pretty quickly but when I start to wake up if my mind come fully awake and suddenly thoughts come to me about all I have to do then I can forget about continuing to sleep so no matter how many hours I have gotten of sleep my brain says get up, get up
After losing Dustin I could not sleep for years. Now it is better. I watch tv for a few minutes to clear my mind, something funny, nothing serious at all, and then I drift off the sleep. No naps. We are all different.
