Sleeping Patterns - Snoring
Do you sleep with someone who snores?
Do you sleep with someone who snores?
Many people not only snore - but talk in their sleep - often in a strange tongue.
What about someone who grinds their teeth - or thrashes about in bed?
Do you sleep with a pet? Does the pet snore?
When I was married - my husband snored so loudly it could wake the dead - but then again - that is what I do. I soon discovered The Noise Machine
Through the years these machines have become more sophisticated having a variety of sounds, much like men.
I didn't discuss my sound machine with anyone until recently when I discovered that many adults use them and can't sleep without one. They take them on trips - and once they get used to the selected noise, they fall asleep immediately after being turned on. It's all about conditioning.
As for snoring...a friend reports that her husband uses something he sprays on the back of his throat before bedtime to relax the back palate - tongue and cheek! Others report homeopathic remedies that help. Others put something like a bandaid over the bridge of their nose to open the sinuses which is a major cause of sleeping problems.
When you lay back, does your nose stuff up? Can you breath clearly? If not, you will snore.
Nose....noise......
Other bedtime aids include feather beds that are placed on top of your mattress or egg-crate foam bed covers, mattress pads and pillow tops.
The Waterbed...There are those who love a waterbed and others who hate them. The new line of beds do not mold to your contours as the old tubeless beds did. The new ones are firmer. Firmer is 'bedder' in bed. King size works best! King size and firm.... interesting visuals....
Pillows - one two, or three? Form, feathers, down? Do you prefer Standard? a King? or a Queen?
Do children sleep in bed with you? What age should that stop? Should it ever begin? Is it better to comfort a child by staying in their bed until they fall asleep than inviting them into your bed?
Do you prefer to sleep alone? Do you prefer not be touched when you are sleeping as if you are out of your body and not wanting to be disturbed, or brought back into physical reality Many people who do not remember their dreams remove their consciousness from their physical bodies for what we call the Dream Time hours and need to be untouched.
Some people sleep more comfortably alone.
Sex is sex - but are we meant to sleep in our own beds?
Would you prefer to not have someone's energy field and spirit guides interacting with you?
Hopefully your partner is a day person if you are a day person, or is a night person if you're a night person.
Without proper sleep time, in a bed that is structurally right, in a situation of interrupted sleep, sleep deprived, you are going to suffer when you are awake. How many hours of sleep do you need?
I know there are additional sleeping tools I have missed. There are many interesting items you can use in bed to help you sleep. What is your pleasure?
