to get a full nights sleep
I have been waking up to 5 times a night for over a month or more.

i have no problem going to sleep, its just after two hours im awake, feeling as though i was suffocating. Any physical reasons for this.

anyone else care to share their sleepless tales. and how they may have conquered them. I have spoken with doctor but she seems to
think it might be nasal drip, causing me to cough, though i don't know if that is right.
bad dreams, needing the loo all come into play as well.

My Mum used to suddenly wake up, and feeling panicky, also felt she couldn't breathe. She always put it down to anxiety. She was living on her own.

JJ it stuffs up my day time, because i am tired then. rather sleep through, wake refreshed and face the day head on. I don't mind so much being awake at 5, 6, its 3 in the morning that i can't handle.

i don't feel panicky, more that throat feels closed, sore, tongue like sandpaper. Get up to have something to drink

JJ, have you tried Melatonin? It's natural, our body makes but less of it as we age.

LB - have been pretty bad sleeper for years now and I did buy the Melatonin from Hollands&Barretts.

When I opened the bottle I nearly threw up - the smell was like smelling your excreta - I ended up throwing them out and they were dear at that time.

No heating? Gosh, it must be super well insulated to still feel warm. My flat...even with super multi layer external insulation applied several years ago, still is never comfortable. Always chilly upstairs in the winter, hot in summer. The roof has just been done...and might make a tiny bit of difference.
Can you open your windows at night? Get some fresh air in.

emmie I too don't like being awake at 3am, I just feel sorta alone and don't like the eeriness, but I would sometimes at that time 3am can make a hot milky drink, it sorta helps me - how it does I don't know.

I also have a black blind which I love and also wear a mask which seems to calm me down. I have been wearing masks for years and when some of my friends and siblings tried them - they felt suffocated. No matter where I go when I used to travel the mask was the first thing I packed.

I think you are going to have to ask Timothy Mallett for a loan of his mallet and give yourself a right plonk - then you will go right out LOL
