Sharing Sleep Habits

How many times do you wake up during the night and find that you can't fall back to sleep? Don't you hate people that can just go to bed and sleep all night long?

I have always been a very light sleeper, the littlest noise wakes me up and then my head starts thinking so I can't fall back to sleep. It really is just the way I am, I don't find there to be a cure for me. I even take Tylenol pm, it helps, but I still wake up frequently.

Now my husband is another story, he goes to bed and is out in a few minutes waking up the next morning. I envy him, wish I could do that even a couple times a week.

I dream a lot too, some times one dream after another. I think that is because I wake up and when I finally fall back to sleep it is with a new dream.

Sleeping habits are hard to break, they are also a habit that would contribute to having a better day. A certain amount of sleep is required but I am beginning to think that different people require different amounts of time that they need sleep. I require about 6 hours of sleep and actually I function very well during the day. My husband requires more sleep and when he doesn't get it he needs to make up for it the next day.

They say that older people require less sleep and that is kind of scary because I can't imagine sleeping any less than I already do.

I would really like to hear from some of you out there on this subject. Let me know about your sleeping habits? What you've tried? What you have found works well for you? What annoys you about how well others sleep? Even if you are just like me and except it as the way you are?
