The internet keeps me up late. I have pals in other parts of the world, so I may end up skyping/chatting long after midnight, but i love my pals and won't trade them incartwheel dance reunion kiss

A sense of guilt used to keep me up, not anymore :) Sometimes, happy adrenaline rushes keep me up too. But between evening yoga and melatonin I sleep like a baby. Yoga does wonders for sleep quality :)

I have always been a good sleeper and can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. However living in a hot country sometimes the nights are so warm sleeping can be a restless and sweaty affair.

Hi my friend. Last time I slept in Spain I shared the bed with a mouse who left his/her calling card on my pillow at night. I have to say the heat didn't bother me much when i had that to look forward to every night. kiss

I have a meditative technique that shuts down internal dialogue prior to sleep every single time and I'm very grateful for that conversing


I rarely need to use it though as I am active and healthy and try to deal with concerns during my waking hours.

I figure that if I can't fix things during the day, I'm sure not going to during the night

My bed is comfy, the room is uncluttered and contains no electronic devices , it is a sleep destination cool

I wish I knew. None of your options, but some nights I simply cannot get to sleep - or wake up after an hour and that's it. Nothing for it but to doze as best I can, relax every muscle, and tell myself that's as good as sleep. moping

Lots of things from women and the pollution caused by Chinese industrialisation to the fact that I sometimes buy a shirt and don't even wear it.
