I do think all this stuff about light levels and portable screens is utter rubbish in relation to sleep disorders though.

Tv's in bedrooms. Mobile devices. Shift work and jobs affecting body clocks. Non of that was relevant at the time I turned into a night owl, as they call it.

I'm certainly far more of an owl than a lark.

If I went to bed at 10.30 I'd be awake for hours on end. Getting my head down at 2.00 a.m. suits me better.

same here.. I can never sleep at 10 or 11 pm even if I want to.. but the main reason is our neighbours .. they always make noise..
and I'm sensitive about it..  but if a silent place is supplied I can sleep easily..


if I can sleep 7 hours it will be enough..


and as for waking up   it takes nearly half an hour

Insomniac, but always try to go to bed at the same time as Mrs TB. TBH, it matters not what time I go to bed, it always takes ages to drop off.

Oddly, I think I'm getting better as I get older.

For me, most forms of medication make me sleep. Popped a couple of mild pain killers a couple of hours ago, and really fighting it, and just about to pop a stronger one now, so I have a chance of waking up for work in the morning.

I have experienced that if you eat sweet things or eat more than necessary at night you can hardly sleep..  so imo blood sugar level is important.. however,  a very low sugar level also dont help


and the level of stress ..

Out like a light most nights with medication pain killers , awake most mornings at 6am for a cup of tea  Before diagnosed diabetic i would be up 3 times through the night for a pee but now under control

My answer would be No.no.no.and no.

Takes me hours to go to sleep. when i do its for a couple of hours.Wake up every morning feeling like sh#t. Last time i tried the blue pill did nothing after the wife turned the light on.

Oh come one, she's not that bad . . . . . . . I mean I don't imagine that she could be that bad

I'm usually asleep by 11:30 and up by 6 am but had a weird blip this weekend, Sunday 8pm - 6 am then took the first dose of a new medication and slept( knocked out  ) 10:am -3pm and last night slept 9pm -06:30. I shan't be taking them any more needless to say

Worried about the quality of my sleep I have just invested in a Misfit Shine.  It monitors your sleep and activity using movement sensors.  So far pretty impressed with it, although it is a little querky to use I am sure I will get used to it.

Last night it measured that I slept for 8 hours and 32 minutes, which going by the clock seems pretty accurate.  It also detected that I was in deep REM sleep for 5.5 hours of that time which was broken up in to 6 stages.  Considering the heat here that is not unreasonable to believe and after a sleep deprived weekend due to illness I did wake up more refreshed than usual.

So far me likey, but we shall see.  The next question is should I get one for the missus as I am worried about her health and thus trying to get her more active.

How does this work, Mr Guffer? ........ Are you wired up to a host of electrodes as you sleep?

Must be going soft admitting to any of those traits

The only way I can get off to sleep is with a tipple, or three ish, always wake to go to the loo in the middle of the night, hopefully I wont wake at 5 or 6 cos often will not be able to get back off. I long for the day when I could go to bed, sleep without problem for 7 hours or more and wake refreshed, a very distant memory............
