How many of you...

...age 40 and older, actually sleep through the night without waking up or having to get up to use the restroom?

Just curious, because when I was younger, up until 35-36, I could fall asleep and not wake up until 8 hours later. Now, I can't sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time.

I tried Ambien a couple of years ago and slept great, but I would be so tired the rest of the day I could barely function.

wheweee

Kev, i don't think think sleep is your biggest problem, it's the man-size ****** betwixt your legs that has me more worried.

 

[weused2luvhim2]

I'm 45 and I'm not getting up to piss until my alarm goes off. I'll roll right over and go back to sleep.

 

[WonderBraa]

Since when does The Paddock teach practice agism. I reserve the right to post in any thread I please. Even if I'm not 40 or over.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

My schedule:

06:01:02 Take a piss
06::01:50 take a dump
06:02:12 wake up

 

[jameslee32]

I can last until daybreak.
That's what she said

 

[Cattoyz]

I'm 62 and don't have to get up during the night to go to the bathroom, but I usually sleep for about 5 hours straight then toss and turn for the next 3. It's a *****.

Lol.

I will have to check and see.

My problem also.

I fall asleep right after I turn the tv off, and then 3 hours later I wake up. Then it takes about an hour or two to go back to sleep.

It makes me angry, makes me blood boil, makes me want to set fire to my public hairs.

 

[TortElvisII]

I am on an old man schedule.

Bed at 9
Wake up at 2
Ready to go.

Force self back to sleep about 4. Wake up at 450.



Strange.

What do you do when you get up at two? Just curious.

Indecent exposure is a Class-D felony.

Indecent exposure is a Class-D felony.

Yeah, but they'll see the flames for miles.

Watch TV. Log on here.

I tried running.

That really wakes you up.

Meteor showers are great.

Bathing sometimes helps.

Reading might work.

I cut out all caffeine

You aren't diabetic are you?

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Yeah, but they'll see the flames for miles.

Unlike your wiener.

Not diabetic.

I do drink a pot of coffee every morning.

Not sure how anyone can function on just 5 hours a sleep a day.

 

[kevcat]

LOL!

I used to have a nice plump and long wiener.

Now that I'm in my fifties, it's more like a Vienna Sausage.

No, but should switch to it.

Nword, please.

60 and toss and turn all through the night but, don't have to go to the bathroom until morning. Wear a regular mouth piece to keep from grinding teeth all night. Had a lot of pain from a couple of teeth until using it.

 

[warrior-cat]

Indecent exposure is a Class-D felony.

Not if there public hairs (head, facial, arm, legs and some nose).

Wake up the old lady, roll her over for two......minutes and that puts me back to sleeps. Pisses her off though.

Bruxing. The curse of the worrier. Was always afraid of the mouth guards.

 

[LogicalCat]

The only way I can sleep through the night is to have no liquids for in the hours leading up to bed. I drink any caffine soda after supper and It's guaranteed I'll have to get up 2-3am to go.

I'm 50 and it's been this way about 10 years

 

[warrior-cat]

Yeah, a lot on my plate most of the time. Bosses always talking about how I handle the work load no matter what. But, it takes its toll as my wife says.

 

[JDHoss]

57 and sleep 7-8 hours most nights with very little interruption of my own doing. I consider myself fortunate, as I have a friend who gets only about 5 hours of interrupted sleep every night.

Melatonin on whatever dose u want. 1, 3, 5 or 1/2 mg. I had to mix match til I got it right

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I hate when I gotta wake up and take a piss and then feel like I'm about to **** my pants as I'm pissing so it takes me out of sleep mode. I like to take a piss when I get up for the day then take a dump

 

[kevcat]

Thanks.
I'll try it.

 

[UKserialkiller]

Thanks.
I'll try it.

Maybe drink a lot of alcohol, Kev

 

[kevcat]

I do. Someone suggested not drinking alcohol, I'm still laughing about that.

 

[DSmith21]

OP, if you are really having to pee every 3 hours, you ought to consult your doctor. Nocturia (see link) can be caused by some bad stuff like having heart problems, a bladder tumor, an enlarged prostate, diabetes, etc. You could also be pregnant. In which case, delivery is going to be a bear.

[OldEvilleCat]

I'm 51. Pee before I go to bed (anywhere from 9-10). Wake up around 3:30 (+/- 1/2 hr), let the dog out & pee again. Try to go back to sleep, usually toss & turn until alarm goes off around 5:30 am. Get up...pee again. It's routine, it's just what I do.

"Let the dog out" is not a euphemism for spankin' the monkey.

 

[morgousky]

I can hold my pee all night, but falling asleep is a *****. I suffer from irritable leg syndrome and can't lay them still, sometimes most of the night. It's apparantly becoming more and more common.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Yeah, but they'll see the flames for miles.

I believe the correct medical terminology is the "Jimmy legs".

 

[larry the cable guy]

Jimmy's everywhere are offended by that statement.

 

[larry the cable guy]

I usually do pretty good until around 3:00 AM and from then until I get up at 7:00 I am awake and asleep several times. Melatonin does seem to help some.
