ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz's

I wake up exhausted from nightmares.

i have bother waking up  i sleep no problem. I am usually exhausted by bedtime.

i have double lined curtains which shut out all (95%) light. it makes a big difference to your sleep if you are in almost total darkness

i have a 12v fan from back of a  pc power supply running on a 12v DC transformer. its quiet and keeps me cool. It just sits on my bedside unit cooling me down

At the moment I’m using a lighter weighted blanket with a duvet cover over it instead of duvet with weighted blanket on top, been far too hot with my usual 6kg one! 

Yeah, good job we're DINKS with no kids and a 4 bed house, 'cos sometimes I bed hop in the night.

I have two crocheted blankets on top of my duvet. Works like a dream in winter. In summer, my choice is can't sleep 'cos I'm too hot or chuck off covers and can't sleep because there's no weight over me.

Not tonight it won't be. I've read so many boring documents for work today, It'll be like someone took a mallet to my head to knock me out. 

Know what you mean though. I often can't get unchecked problems out of my head to let sleep in.

We have a King Size - but I appear to sleep with a starfish 

Ok, so it's not just me. I had a thought...hmmm, it's interesting that my anxiety isn't affecting my sleep-at least I have that to be grateful for....then BAM, I've been sleeping really bad for the last 2 wks. We have ac units vs central air....I'm pitta/kapha on auryuvedic if you believe in that stuff. Apparently, June-Sept is in the Pitta state....I find it interesting.

That's awesome to know I'm not alone. I've always slept horribly next to someone. I move alot and need to be able to make at least "a bed angel" moves worth of width/length. I have a queen and he has a full. WHy don't they make super beds?? 

It's years since I had a relaxing night's sleep.

That's a good idea. I'm wondering how this will work with my partner as well. Hoping we can navigate me having an extra/different cover and not get stuck in a knot at 2am! Haha! :D Still, going to try it and see. Will never know, otherwise, I guess!

I just lie under the blanket if it’s too hot and take the duvet off

We commute between different beds-  sometimes go to bed together, sometimes wake up together - every morning is a surprise 

My sleep's not exactly horrible, but I find the long daylight hours and higher temperatures at night during summer affect me. 

I have literally just been researching weighted blankets! Great to hear this! I'm definitely going to try one. Little worried about an extra layer when it's hot at night, though.

We have two beds...next to each other. Husband has his own, I have my own. Both high quality memory foam....I think it's me and summer messes me up. 

I have 4 nests - the big bed upstairs, a single bed in the downstairs bedroom, a double in the same room with a pile of pillows to make a fort with and the big sofa in the living room with a massive duvet folded on it like a futon on top for extra padding.

And I take Paracetamol, Zopiclone and Morphine to go to bed with.

I don't sleep well.

try sleeping on the floor lol maybe your mattress sucks, the floor is actually very comfortable. mattress isnt needed, all it does is add metal springs and squeaking noises and the metal springs eventually break through the mattress and become uncomfortable anyway.
