Either that or she's making good use of her pillow.

Seriously, you should get a sleep study.

For over 25 years, I have used a fan for "white noise" and the fact that I sleep better when It's cooler.

Got to agree on this one. A stable sleep schedule = a better sleep. It takes about 3 weeks to really adapt to a change in your rythm of more than about 3 hours. I hated rotating shifts when I was a rookie. Every 3 months a new schedule / days off and trying to sleep during the day was almost impossible for me.

But man, this week, I sleep, toss-turn-toss-turn...and all day long I am just dragging.  Working 3 nights a week makes this tough...but there is nothing I hate more than having a day off, slept good and STILL be dragging all day.

Me needs deep, REM sleep!

Anyone else deal with this kinda daytime sleepiness from time to time?


Working the nights will **** you right up.

I work mostly nights but I work one day a week and that throws me right off. I spend half the week catching up after that.

If it's causing you that much grief quit your job. No money is worth the torment of sleeplessness.

Seriously LePaul, cats have been the reason for many people's sleep disorders. They are just annoying enough to keep you from getting the sleep you need. Keep them out of the bedroom.

I'll do that...punt the felines.

See I got great sleep today...the breath-rite nose strips seem to help.  And I even did the melatonin.  Its just the "wake up from the fog" thing that seems to take forever (longer if you notice it!).

Lots of good input, I'm glad I posted
