How do you sleep?

[El Cid]

I get back ache if I try to sleep on my back, always been like that.

 

But yet isnt that how most babies sleep?

 

I sometimes sleep on my side, but sometimes me joints suffer, old age I guess.

 

Is there a right and wrong way to sleep, not observed many people sleeping any nurses in here that can tell us how most people sleep?

I sleep badly. Which is why I'm here at 01.44.

I was a nurse so I can tell you that most people sleep either on their back or right side. We sleep less as we get older but this is because we aren't as active.

Pretty well, thank you

 

Just to link in to pattricia's comment, I'm hardly old, but I have noticed I can do with less and less sleep these days. I usually go to bed around midnight/1AM, wake up around 4/5AM and then sleep another hour or two or get up. As a teen/student I used to need 8 hours or I'd be cranky all day.

I'm surprised you sleep at all. (I've read the coffee thread).

Hah, fair observation, I don't tend to drink coffee in the evening and caffeine doesn't really keep me awake anyway. That is unlike many Dutch I know though, most have coffee after dinner (8/9 PM).

"How do you sleep?" I sort of close my eyes and it happens.

Try this, always have your couple of hours in silence, do not go on your computer, or watch telly, read for an hour and a half, then half an hour of meditation, I say a rosary, but anything will do just think about good and positive things that have happened in your life, next cup of drinking chocolate then hit sack as long as you don't gorge on food, you will sleep like a log.

I was the same till I got a water bed. Fantastic until you have to move house.

 

Now I'm on a memory foam thingy again and sleeping on my side.
