Sleep (Page 3) tina_time7: Except my case might be not doing enough things coupled with waking up late and coupled with little discipline. BigAlNH: tina_, you sound a little like I did before I got some good counseling. My sleep/awake hours were all over the place; I may have slept more than I needed to (not certain about that); and I didn't get much done, partially because I felt overwhelmed. It wasn't a simple "discipline" issue, although it felt that way. Some of this was due to my ADHD, but what made it better were the tools my counselor gave me, including mindfulness and meditation. (Post deleted by tina_time7 ) (Post deleted by tina_time7 ) (Post deleted by tina_time7 ) (Post deleted by tina_time7 ) tina_time7: I see - I am somewhat weary of going into counselling - although I did meet a very nice and kind counsellor at the health retreat I went to in May for one week. After I came back from there my internet addiction seemed to have gotten better or went away too. Perhaps you can share some tips with me? Also, what do you mean by ADHD-do you mean trouble focusing on your day to day tasks that you would like to accomplish? and hi again. I do realize you already shared about mindfulness and meditation and I know what both those terms mean but I am not really aware of how they would help with my sleeping. Actually I remember asking you about your ADHD condition in the ADHD room before and I do remember some but seemingly it is a difficult topic for me to master and perhaps ADHD could mean different strokes for different folks. I have been called a free spirit in the past so perhaps that is what is the deal here and relates to my also all over the place sleeping non schedules. tina_time7: I appreciated you trying to look out for me and my sleep Alen - the thing is I also had a workplace employment counselling application when I worked at Amazon and I reached out and the worker told me to start tracking my sleep - so I am doing this, however that counsellor from that app may not work with me anymore Trail_7: I was doing better again and then something changed my sleep since i went to sleep early one night and now it's all over the place again kinda BigAlNH: I hear THAT! Nothing seems to stay "fixed" forever. Sometimes it happens abruptly, other times little changes creep up on you. But what I do now is - when I notice my sleep (or other) habits have changed, instead of waiting until I'm too tired to stay awake, I just go to bed, and after prayer and meditation - off I go, to la-la land lol brian5b88: I had that problem for years. Then a friend suggested I try a few hits of marijuana before bed. So I did. I get 5-6 straight hours now. It’s a game Changer brian5b88: I could to it was staying asleep was my problem. If I got two hours straight it was a miracle. If you don’t want to smoke it I know people who eat a 10 mg gummie before bed. Nothing over the counter worked and anything prescribed was too much. Give it a try a few times. There are two kinds sativa and indica, you want indica. Talk to the person behind the counter about it they are well aware people do this to sleep. tina_time7: OK: 1. a. : to utter a high-pitched plaintive or distressed cry. b. : to make a sound similar to such a cry.Dec 4, 2023 https://www.merriam-webster.com › ... Whine Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster Trail_7: brian, is this for falling asleep or going to sleep at a proper time and adjusting your sleep schedule? I did use to take the non THC weed oil on my tongue which somehow seemed to help me to calm down and sleep. BigAlNH: This paper discusses how the effects of CBD (and THC) on people who have schizophrenia can either be positive or negative, with no way to know in advance: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8343183/ My point is, even though a person may not have schizophrenia, it's up to that person to do their own testing, then decide whether CBD works for them or not. I don't have insomnia but I have other issues that I've found meditation has helped me with. I used to think meditation was kinda hokey but not any more. tina_time7: I’m not a psychologist but I think having a job helps you to sleep. Or with sleep I should say in general. I mean specifically I was getting at going to sleep at a decent time. Although there were exceptions such as a distraction and certain jobs don’t tire you out such as non physical ones the same way, but that also depends on age - as even mental one’s tired me out a lot when I worked full time at a call center in my late twenties but in my early twenties a full day of college didn’t really so. And physical jobs made me go straight to bed after work - such as restaurant and warehouse work. I am also a woman so. My aunt was a nurse however and she would come home and still chill with the family and so maybe she wasn’t so tired but I was also a care assistant at one point and that job didn’t tire me out as much as the physical jobs I mentioned prior. I think. Of course I don’t have a measuring device to measure exactly. DIAMONDfire: I have been in that position too where you work and you can't turn your mind off at night. You have to find a way to turn your mind off. tina_time7: That’s not what I was trying to say at all. I was trying to answer your question about the correlation between work and sleep. Where did I say what you said I said? BigAlNH: Tina considering how frazzled we can get in our lives, having a regular schedule to settle into provides us with a sense of wellbeing. Having regular sleeping hours is included, and is part of that. A job too, with its regular hours, plus it gives us a distraction from whatever else we have on our minds! I get tired faster if I'm doing physical work but as I said before, I don't have much trouble getting to sleep anyways. | Health Chat Room Similar Conversations |
