    Currently I don't sleep enough

    Not because I have a bad sleep schedule

    But because my girlfriend has decided that since she doesn't have to go to work until two hours after I do she doesn't have to get up when I do and therefore doesn't have to go to sleep when I do

    So she will sit in bed watching netflix on her laptop (no headphones because she "doesn't like headphones") while I try to fall asleep. I cannot fall asleep when there is flickering light and a show or movie going that I haven't seen before (if it is something I've seen before I can fall asleep however)

    I blame the typo I edited out on lack of sleep

    Okay she is definitely correct in thinking that she doesn't have to sleep/get up when you do if her schedule doesn't require it HOWEVER

    wow that is a huge dick move staying in the bedroom to do her night time activities instead of watching movies/ browsing the web out in the living room while you try to sleep. Have you spoken with her, or asked her to not watch movies in bed?

    Yes! But she doesn't think that she should have to get out of bed.

    My current plan is to start waking her up "accidently" when I wake up

    This is clearly the adult solution to this problem

    Just spend the entire time she's there making awkward sexy passes at her

    She either gets annoyed and goes elsewhere or you get laid! It's win win.

    I didn't realize how bad my snoring was until I went to college, but my first roommate described it as being "like a dragon being raped"

    it got to the point where my girlfriend would wear earplugs to sleep, but she eventually learned to tune me out

    I have few problems getting to sleep and can sleep pretty much anywhere. Sleep is great, one of my favourite ways to pass time. When I used to work on lifts (elevators) it was no problem to sleep on top of the lift whether it was moving or stuck at a floor.

    Sleep is my super power. I can sleep anywhere due to my apnea and my,narcalepsy. I use to fall asleep in band class while playing, and today started nodding off while getting a tattoo (he hit a nerve and it woke me right the fuck up)

    I sleep for dreams. If I wake up and don't remember dreaming then I think it was a waste of time.

    I have been taking 5-HTP the past couple months which has been awesome with making sure I have vivid dreams every night.

    Man, sometimes it's like these forums read my mind.

    I've been thinking about going back to a bed lately.

    For the better part of a year and a half now I've actually been sleeping in a mayan-style hammock, and it's done wonders on pretty much all fronts of my life.

    Only problem is I kind of miss sleeping in a bed. My feet hang out sometimes, then my ankles get sore. Not too mention that it's easy to sleep wrong in a hammock, which can be worse than sleeping in a bad bed. The relationship i'm in is becoming more serious as well, and a hammock just isn't a great place for sexy time.

    So I started looking at beds again. Only problem is I never really know what I want, as I've always slept in shit beds. I've put up with the worst sleeping conditions next to sleeping on a board.

    I hate looking for beds though, and Reginald's link pretty much confirmed a few of my fears, and dispelled a lot of others! Pretty dang grateful for that Mattress Scam link, thanks!

    It's also called Old Hag Syndrome because a common hallucination is a terrifying old woman or demon beast sitting on your chest preventing you from moving.

    There's art depicting it from as far back as the middle ages

    Yes. This happens to me sometimes. I'm sort of half awake and falling in and out of my dreams.

    I'm aware of my surroundings. I'm in my room and it's all familiar and I think I'm awake. Then there's something in the room, and I know I'm dreaming and I struggle to wake up.

    I wake up and go to turn on my bedside lamp. But the light doesn't turn on. The thing is still in the room and now it's closer to me.

    This happens repeatedly.

    When I finally wake up, I have to get out of bed and pinch myself a bunch and bite my tongue to make sure that I'm really awake.

    One time I saw the thing and illustrated it when I woke up. Its face made of rusty fishhooks and it demanding that I fuck it.

    I'd fuck it.

    But thats how all my dreams go. I either end up fucking my way through it, or I suffer constant and terrible bodily harm.

    Nothing like dreaming about getting hit by cars repeatedly!

    I currently get like 7 hours a night (weekdays at least) and I stick to that fairly consistently, but I really need to do something about my bed situation- I just moved out of my parents' place two weeks ago and didn't bother bringing the ancient, falling-apart bed frame, not realizing that my mattress was almost as old and was really not suited to being used straight on the floor. Now I can't sleep on my back, because the mattress doesn't have enough give so instead of sinking into it, my butt pushes up and bends my spine and it's uncomfortable.

    I have to use an alarm clock unless I am able to sleep for a long time before needing to get up. However, if I don't have anything to do I will just keep on sleeping. I once woke up at 10:30pm. At that point I just try to stay up all night and the next day and go to sleep at a normal time the next night to reset.

    Also I tend to fall asleep on my stomach despite it not being extremely comfortable without the right pillow set up. My back has been really tense the past few days but I just keep falling asleep on my stomach.

    Well, in a month I won't get to, but I'm enjoying it now!
