Ben by Daniel Shelton for February 22, 2021

Know the feeling Ben , know the feeling !!!

Been there, still doing it!

My husband is the same. Doesn’t budge all night, then has a devil of a time getting up. :D

Perhaps if you chase Liv?

Pop, snackle and crap. On one of the cartoons yesterday the character said he had early onset rigor mortis. And BOY! do I know that feeling!

I slept like a baby…wet myself and woke up crying.

Like most of us my problem is just the opposite: I can’t sleep through the night.

My dogs never sleep past 5:00 AM so…what is a “good night’s sleep”?

I have no problem rolling out of bed in the morning. It’s getting up off the floor then that’s hard.

The other night I went to bed at 10:00, went right to sleep, slept really good. Then I woke up and looked at the clock and it was 11:30. Ohhhhhh, this is going to be a long night!!!

My old age comes with a sound track, just like the cereal, Snap, Crackle & Pop!

I need to reposition during the night or I’d wake up like that too.

You got that right. I have to go out and walk in the cul-de-sac with my cats for twenty minutes before I start to feel normal. It hurts but it’s worse if I skip it.

I guess there’s something to be said about tossing and turning all night.

LOL. This is 100% me. If I sleep in one position all night I wake up feeling great until I try to get out of bed, and then it’s every joint and bone for himself.

We have never been morning people – but since we are home anyway, we have reached the point where we go to bed around 3 or 4 am – it takes me until 6 am to be ready to go to sleep (I found an old TV series we never heard of and it is on at 5 am and I am watching it). He wakes up – other than past couple of months when he is terrified of the snow coming and wakes as early as 7 am – at 1 pm watches old 1970s TV shows in bed with a headset so I don’t hear it as he watches TV very LOUD – and I wake up 2 pm. Ah, the life I always wanted.

Since we had bedbugs 11 years ago I have trouble sleeping. For years after I did not remember having any dreams (though I presumed I did) and then suddenly I was aware that I was having dreams at night – nightmares, though I don’t remember them – apparently they are so bad, my mind won’t let me remember. I wake husband while I am asleep (unknown to me) with my thrashing around in the bed and he holds me (well, I believe him when he tells me that he does) until I calm down and stop thrashing.

My cat goes off at five am. I’ve been trying to figure out for eleven years how to reset her to six am, but no luck.
