In my entire life, I have had the uncanny ability to lay down ANYWHERE under almost any CIRCUMSTANCE and fall asleep within 5 minutes or less.
I started napping as a kid, worked in the newspaper business as a pressman and slept on steel catwalks, in piles of discarded newsprint, inside a printing press that was not running at the time and laying on top of a rolls of newsprint.
I've fallen asleep in reclined chairs, firm chairs and chairs where I put my feet up on a desk.
In the outdoors I've fallen asleep on the grass at picnics, in lawn chairs at parties, on the top of a hood of a parked car and even standing up while leaning on a parking meter at the end of a night of drinking.
I can sleep in the passenger seat of a car, plane, boat or a rubber dinghy in a pool and even in a bathtub when just right.
Lately for the first time in life I've got my sleep schedule and the amount of hours I am sleeping all screwed up and I'm not sure what time it is each time I wake up. I'm working weird hours and sleeping even stranger. I know some is due to being older but not getting sleep sucks moose cock and I'm done with it!

So tell everyone here, what's your sleep story: the Good the Bad and the Ugly. :-)
Wow amazing. I don't know how people sleep in weird positions. The ONLY way I can sleep is either on my side or my stomach laying down. I cannot sleep ever sitting, on my back, or not laid down. Which means I can't sleep in airplanes, waiting chairs, or at family gatherings. [Reply]
Been waking up at the crack of dawn for work for about 20+years. (4AM wakeup)
I currently work a split-shift. 6AM till 9AM again from 3:30PM to 6:30PM)
I generally get about 6 hours per night, and about a 1 hour "cat nap" in the Mid-Day.
I'm pretty wound up often times and don't sleep so well. Various aches and pains sometimes keep me up at night.
Sleeping in on the weekends means about a 6AM wakeup.
Oh, and far as sleeping "positions" I'm either a back or side sleeper. I generally need to be laying down. I have a recliner that goes back pretty far, I have fallen asleep in that. My couch is pretty comfy as well, but again, I generally have to be lying down. [Reply]

I have diagnosed sleep apnea and lost my CPAP in the house fire 4 years ago. I'm absolutely exhausted all the time. I'm lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep a night, and it's not good sleep. I can't remember the last time I was asleep deep enough to dream. [Reply]

OPs story sounds a lot like sleep apnea. Untreated apnea causing you to not enter REM, ie no dreaming [Reply]

Yeah, me too. I guess being in the Hog business so long I always had shit on my mind to stress and worry about so I've just never got good sleep. Now that I'm retired I still find myself just cat napping all friggin night and seldom get into a deep sleep.
Hell last night Mahomes ankle and Tyreeks shoulder stayed on my mind all friggin night. Isn't that just stupid! [Reply]
