What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Did the weighted blanket make you sore? I'm asking because I can't use mine, lol. It's so heavy everything hurts, back hips ankles knees it's awful.
It's interesting you say 2:20... I wake up around then a lot, and others I know have mentioned that in conversations... it's weird. 'Like I slept awful' "me too - up at 2:30' 'ya shoulda called I was up then too' kinda thing.
ME TOO! I’m lucky if I get to sleep, and then if I don’t I’m up till 230. L O L but my mom is the same way. Sometimes I’ll toss and turn, then I’ll get up to go to the bathroom, and she still up sitting at her computer. She’s 82! She has an account year though so I’m sure she’s busy here sometimes lol
It does make me sore. It keeps me warm, but it is heavy. I like it, though.
When I go through my own sleepless pattern, I usually wake up around that time. If I sleep through it, my husband gets up to use the bathroom, and I wake up. There's something about that time!
Definitely, 2:00 is the point of no return for going back to sleep. Lol
I put a electric blanket in the bed, and heat it up before (and shut it off and unplug it before I get in... cozy:) lol
I have two bedjets. They blow warm or cool air between your sheets. Heavenly. It also takes the weight of the blankets off your toes.
That sounds great!
That sounds delightful! We may still have our blanket. I need to check for it.
Have you tried a heated throw rug instead of the weighted blanket ?
I usually use a nicely thin comforter and fold it double so it's thicker, but it was colder for a couple nights this week, our heat was turned down low, and my husband insisted on using the fan. I had to use the weighted one. I have others I use as well so I can throw them off if I get too hot.
If you are going to waken in the middle of the night, it is always around that time, seems very common. I read somewhere a long time ago, it is the hour when we should pray, in the ancient monastic times, it was called Matins. Try lighting a candle and say the Lords Prayer, and repeat the mantra, "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy on me, a sinner". Over and over, it may help. Try to resist turning on your phone, or puter or whatever screen you prefer, it will not help. 3 am is an Angelic hour.
Thank you for that! Every now and then, when I do wake up and when he is still asleep, I will get up and get on my tablet. I do try to make it a priority to pray and relax, if I'm going to be awake.
It could also be related to blood sugar dropping. If you have complex carbs if any kind prior to going to sleep, you will chew through them within about 6 hours and then BS drops. Even if you aren’t diabetic - it happens. I’d suggest trying a protein shake prior to going to sleep to see if that helps?
