I don't have a child, but this happened after buying a house, and living alone. I went from dead to the world sleep, to hearing everything happening in the house. Even ten years later, I still sleep significantly lighter.
- carom 11y agoThis happens to me falling asleep. I have a dog though, so I know if anyone is breaking in he will let me know.
- overcast 11y agoI would probably rest easier with a dog. One of these days when life slows down, I will get one :)
- marak830 11y agoIt helped me. Although occasionally(such as last night), she will keep getting up, walking around my wife in bed, to check on me. Sweet but kept walking me up all night haha. Almost never happens though and my sleep is quite a bit better knowing she is around.
- xeromal 11y agoI struggled with sleeping when I moved to a new state years ago. I still am a little anxious when I sleep and I have my sleep regiment down to the minute in order to get a solid night's rest. I think sleep has some innocence until you lose it and afterward it changes permanently. It has in my life so far.
- overcast 11y agoI know, I wish I could go back to child hood sleeping. Not caring about anything. Sad.
- Florin_Andrei 11y ago> I think sleep has some innocence until you lose it and afterward it changes permanently. Yeah, it's called 'getting older'.
- what_ever 11y agoThat's oversimplifying/over-generalizing it. There are a lot of things associated with getting older.
- mirimir 11y agoI'm older than many here, I suspect. And I use modafinil and coffee. But if I'm tired enough, and I know that I have enough slack, I have no problem sleeping. Indeed, if it's quiet enough, I can still sleep for 12 hours or whatever.
