So far, I have always found it easy to fall asleep. Sometimes I wake up far too early, but I feel like that’s an age thing.

Not meeting

I used to really struggle, was such a light sleeper & permanently tired. Then I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea (muscles in my throat relax too much & stop me breathing). I now have a cpap machine & sleep like a log most nights

John Lewis natural collection.

Now with added feather topper to try to see if that was any better.

Don’t buy one, they’re rubbish.

I got the online only Leesa one when I bought my new house and it's incredibly comfortable! Not bad for under £600 for the king size.

I tried one and liked it (but not the price). I got one for less than half the price from Ikea in the end, and it’s pretty good so far.

Watch your blue light intake during the evening and potentially aim to be less ambitious with your life, so that the quality of your rest as well as your life is improved

I hope it gets better. Have you tried mindfulness or even an audio book. It might help you relax more.

Hiding in the shadows

I only sleep about 3-4hrs a night, but when I'm out, I'm out.

I had sleep tests done when I was younger as my parents were worried I wasn't breathing.

My brain function test results, showed the same activity you'd find in a comatose patient.

Hefty Hideaway

Since becoming single I had to adjust to not sleeping alongside a heavy snorer with sleep apnoea. I’d spent so long sleeping in interrupted bursts that my body didn’t know what to do.

I can’t fall asleep in the silence. I need to have a podcast playing. However, I’m happy to report once I drop off I sleep like a log until it’s time to get up.

The last few months have been terrible for sleep. Due to shortages at work I’m regularly working 16 hour shifts days and nights up to 5 times a week. After a 16 hour night shift I’ll go to bed by 06.30 and be wide awake at 11. I just can’t seen to unwind.
