I usually sleep on my side but for some reason yesterday was different. I wasn't feeling to good, by back was killing me and my neck so I was just laying in bed trying to rest got the chills and fell asleep. I hat it when that happens because I feel as if I didn't sleep at all. A restless nights sleep. I love to be snuggled and warm when I sleep, but comfortable. Not too hot, but too cold forget it. I always have to have my ceiling fan on. I think that is just a mind thing now.
When I was still married my ex used to crack the window every night and it drove me nuts because I slept on the window side of the bed. He didn't get the full effect of the below freezing air coming in in the dead middle of winter, I did. I would have to sleep in sweat pants and a sweat shirt with 2 blankets and I would still freeze. He snored and I mean loud. It didn't matter what I did, he was loud. It drove me nuts. The worst part was that he swore he didn't snore. I had to tape record him to make him believe me. He tried everything to stop but nothing worked.
Now that we aren't together ( I hear the angels singing above me, ahhhhh) I sleep however, but no window cracked and I sleep wonderfully. It's simply amazing. One thing I still do is have the ceiling fan on. I wonder if it was the sound I use to drown out his snoring before. I do have tinnitus and the noise of the ceiling fan helps, so that could be it. I always keep music or a TV on for that reason, background noise.
Anyway, last night I fell asleep on my back, woke up on my stomach and have an aching tailbone today along with my neck. If you have read my blog you will know I have Arnold Chiari Malformation which affects how I am everyday, but ouch today, big-time and it sucks because its a nice day out. Not that I was going jogging, ever LMAO! That would for sure make my brain feel like it was rattling around or loosening up for sure. I can't imagine a really great nights sleep, I don't ever think I had one. I know it must be grand. No, wait! I did have one, but I can't consider that sleep. In November 05' when I had my brain surgery and I was under anesthesia for like 12 hours I was in ICU for 6 days then the regular ward then they sent me home. When I got home no one was poking or prodding me for blood tests or anything and I can remember laying down to sleep because I was just so tired. I did sleep, not for a long time, but I remember it being restful, peaceful, so if that is any inclination of what a great nights sleep is I want it one day.
Well maybe there should be a medicine that has anesthesia medication in it for sleeping because it worked all except I don't remember a damn thing. Then again it was brain surgery. Oh heck, all I want is a good nights sleep say 3 times a week. I sleep ok, but not really good. How do you sleep?
