Nah, it’s those dang sleep disruptions when you have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Thankfully, I usually have no trouble getting back to sleep. ;o)

I can relate to that.
I can’t sleep due to pain and I ain’t even old.

Hey, the way I look at it, the less sleep you git, the more life you git in the same amount of time. But then I got married again, had a kid and I’m sitting here at my computer. I’ll be back at 4am.

“mostly because of illnesses or the medications used to treat them”

No surprise there. The old mom (80) has complained about waking up and not getting back to sleep, and having to take a nap in the afternoon. I’ve told her, get up as if it’s the regular time, and you’ll either sleep longer the next day, or you didn’t need to sleep any longer. Finally does that, and doesn’t worry much about the naps.

I’m 68 and can attest to the fact that I have, for the first time in my life, sleeping problems.

I have purposely avoided taking medications and do not even take aspirin.

Next Tuesday, I will be asking my physician for sleeping pills.

I’ve not slept a full night since being pregnant with my twins. (My girls are 13). I think I forgot how.

There, fixed that.
