Silver Rider Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Green Door by Jim Lowe (Midnight one more night without sleepin' Watchin' 'til the mornin' comes creepin' Green door what's that secret you're keepin'?) There's an old piano And they play it hot Behind the green door Don't know what they're doin' But they laugh a lot Behind the green door Wish they'd let me in So I could find out What's behind the green door (Knocked once Tried to tell 'em I've been there Door slammed Hospitality's thin there Wonder just what's goin' on in there) Saw an eyeball peepin' Through a smoky cloud Behind the green door When I said Joe sent me Someone laughed out loud Behind the green door All I want to do is join the happy crowd Behind the green door [interlude] (Midnight one more night without sleepin' Watchin' 'til the mornin' comes creepin' Green door what's that secret you're keepin'?

paul carruthers Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sleeping is all I want to do this weekend. I figure on a good day I can get about 8 hours. Sleep, beautiful sleep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I work nights and go to bed at 7am and usually wake up between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. When I worked the early shift I found it difficult getting to sleep at night. I think it was all psychological. The thought of having to be up early with the alarm set for for 5am made it difficult to relax and nod off. Sometimes I'd only get about four hours sleep. And they say working nights is bad for you! I've never slept so well. It does help living in a quiet area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Btw, I've been having a lot of dreams where I'm suspended high in the air & I'm trying my damndest to get back down on solid ground. Does that mean anything. I don't know if we have any dream experts on the board, but I suppose anything is possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's not that I can't sleep. I just choose not to. Why waste a third of your life? Anyway, the Greatest Living English Person used to get by with 3 hours a night, and just look at what she achieved. Well when are you going to tell me who you are referring to? The Queen?

slave to zep Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 'Slave' have you tried any Natural sleep aids? Like 'Marjoram oil' a few drops on you pillow, or maybe a Hop pillow... i have tried lavender oil in the past, and a few different herbal sleep remedies, as well as prescription ones. but they all either don't work, or make you feel washed out the next day. it's not true insomnia i have, it's the pains in my leg waking me u, as well as trips to the loo. ( tmi lol )) i try not to drink anything for a few hours before bed, but it seems to make no difference. sometimes i've had nothing to drink from about 4pm, and i STILL have to go through the night!

'Slave' I know where your coming from with the Bladder problem, I have to cross my legs these days when I sneeze...LOL (the joy of having children) Have you tried giving your legs a Massage before bed, then sleeping with them slightly raised... Or maybe see a Physio, who could maybe give you some Exercises.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep legs slightly elevated you raise the bed at the foot end. Keep forgetting that you have a different health care system to us in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound just like my wife on this subject. She is exactly your age too. It happens. She takes one of my valuum once on a while if she is having a bad night. I take a blue every night. It does not wipe me out but it can do that to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 ^ Can't understand why anyone would need meds to get to sleep. Back in the days when I cared about getting to sleep, if I had any trouble I always found that cracking one off would do the trick. Not that easy if you're an old timer, but worth a try...? But my latest wife doesn't like me doing that. She says it's a waste. Everyone is wired different Major. Different physical issues. Sometimes meds are necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
