I haven't been sleeping well

Recommended Posts

Until now! For the last couple months, I've been sleeping like crap, I could get 10 hours of sleep and it felt like 3, every night.

Last night, I remembered hearing something a long time ago about how electro magnetic fields can mess with sleeping patterns. Sleeping with your head near an electrical socket or an electronic device can affect your quality of sleep. Well, my computer is right next to the head of my bed, theres a power outlet right there, and on the other side of the wall are a couple more computers and routers, printers etc. So I slept with my head at the foot of the bed.

Got 6 hours of sleep and it felt like 10! Work was actually acceptable today, I didn't feel like I was going to die by noon. B|

I'm so happy, I can actually get some sleep now :)

Sounds like my set up. Only my problem isn't not being able to sleep well...it is just prying my hands of the computer to go to bed in the first place!!

That's great that you figure that out. I have heard that sort of thing before.

Sleep well :)

Okay...
What do I do since I sleep realllly well and often don't feel like rising from my fun dreams? Should I put a microwave oven near my headboard, charge my cellular phone and camera there, and possibly move my Sonicare toothbrush nearer as well?

I'm serious, I sleep so soundly, I suppose it is a blessing. But sometimes it keeps me in bed so long that I end up feeling guilty for not having used the day!

of course, you could just try turning off the computer/printers/routers when you go to sleep. If they aren't powered on, they won't be creating magnetic or electromagnetic fields.

of course, don't forget about the placebo effect. :P

How long has it been since you've rotated or flipped your mattress. You're supposed to do it every 3 months. Does anyone ever do it? I know we were sleeping worse and flipped ours and that helped. you're just rotating yourself instead of the mattress.

Actually the mattress is about 2 months old. I thought it might be the mattress that was causing me to sleep poorly, but it started before then. Another god nights sleep me last night. I wish I could rearrange my room so I didn't have to sleep this way...but everything is in the only place it can possibly be in my room lol. room is 10x9, I have a corner computer desk, corner entertainment center with a 36" tv, and my queen size bed :D The only floor space available anymore are the walkways to the closet, and around the bed past the tv to the computer :D

Anyway yeah, I'm pretty sure placing my head near too many electronics was causing the problems. Problem solved :P

Well, I never really had problems sleeping, I could fall asleep just fine, and there is no way you are gonna wake me up. I would burn alive before I wake up. But the quality of sleep is what wasn't doing so well. Not quite sure what to say for your situation [:/]

I share your pain, I haven't been sleeping much either. I toss and turn all night, then I'll get up and get some warm milk in hopes of going back to sleep. It seems that I always get a good night's sleep on Monday nights. I think that is due to the fact I get to talk to my bf on Mon's usually :)

So what's keeping you and your bf apart?



A couple of states. I'm in Ohio and he's in NC (now) but usually FL:( I don't think this lousy weather helps me either, I've got a stuffy nose.

Yeah Moody had me online until 11 last night, had to get up at 5 :P

It's ok though, It's always worth the lack of sleep to chat with fellow dz.commers....especially the hotties ;)



Hey I didnt hear you complaining then and my time zone is still 2 hrs ahead.It was after 1am when I finally went to sleep. Besides, who called me to talk for 2 hrs tonight huh? mmm hmmm thats what I thought.:P:P:P;)

Yeah, but the difference is I have to wake up at 5! You don't have to roll out of bed until 9 :P
