    Quality of Sleep

    Over the past few years I feel the quality of sleep that I have gotten has gotten worse and worse. First, I have trouble falling asleep. I toss and turn and wake up probably every 2 to 3 hours. Try to get 8-9 hours of sleep and feel groggy when I wake up.

    The only time I feel refreshed and get a great nights sleep is when I stay in a hotel. Was in Vegas a month ago and slept like a baby. 6-7 hours straight through and when I woke up I felt like GOD.

    I like a firm mattress. My mattress at home is firm but not as firm as a hotels. Also the temperature in my house is definitely warmer than in a hotel room. Definitely can hear noises going on through out the house when I am in my room which is a problem because I don't sleep through much.

    Currently I am 6'0 240lbs and have lower back pain. I'm sure losing 30lbs would help the issue.


    I guess my question is what suggestions, if any, are there to improve my quality of sleep and what has helped you if you have had this same type of problem.

    a bedside fan and some melatonin to go with your new mattress.

    Get yourself checked for sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and start using a CPAP, you will notice a considerable difference.

    Also, do you have any pets? They might be keeping you awake without you even really realizing it. You talking about getting better sleep at a hotel made me think of this because I have had the same issue at times.

    sleep apnea is a definite possibility, probably guess #1, if you have insurance, a sleep study could diagnose that

    your mention of hearing noises in the house, waking every few hours almost sounds like hyper-vigilance, and could point to an anxiety issue. do you have any history of anxiety or depression?

    as far as weight/back pain, i started swimming last year when i had a knee issue, and i can't emphasize how much better i feel. i was a horrible swimmer, really bad when i began. my ex-wife and my last girlfriend who was 5'3 both used to essentially lap me swimming, i was that bad. so it was embarrassing to start doing out in public, but i just stuck with it, and i can't tell you how good i feel. i always had neck issues, pain in between shoulder blades, and lifting a lot, i was always dealing with some annoyance even though i did a lot of stretching. since i started swimming, i just feel so loose, and my sleep, and any skeletal issues are just much better. you can basically eat anything you want without gaining also. my gym opened at 6AM, so often i stayed up until then and finished my day right when they opened. occasionally i started day with it, but it will make you hungry all day, which can hurt if you're trying to lose. you won't gain, but at 240, you could definitely drop a few. am cardio works for a lot of people, for me pm cardio and then bed works a lot better.

    +1, otherwise you will pay about $4000 for you to go to a sleep center and have someone to watch you sleep for 8 hours...

    Setup a laptop facing you while you sleep with the webcam recording the entire thing ftw.

    I have weird sleep patterns as well that come and go. For example I'll be perfectly fine for month getting 6.5-8 hours of sleep a night then all the sudden I'll get insomnia for a week where the most I can sleep at one time is maybe 3 hours. It sucks when this happens since it ruins your whole day not feeling motivated to do a lot. Sometimes I just push through it but the worst feeling is laying their being tired trying to sleep yet not being able to do so. Not only does that suck but it's a waste of time in your day so I'd rather just wake up.

    2 Advil PM FTW. Works every time for me. However make sure you allow about 8 hours of sleep for these pills to do their job- if you don't you might feel like a bag of shit when you wake up.

    I rather not take anything. I'm not a fan of pills in general even if it's only something for a headache. Relying on a medication to sleep is not something I want to do and I never know when will be one of these nights that I can't sleep so if it's a night I hit the booze too much then I'd definitely not want to pop a pill after that.

    LOL exact same thing happened to me.

    To the OP - I find that vigorous exercise helps my sleep patterns tremendously. Try it - I promise it will help.
