Anyone else having a VERY difficult time sleeping lately? A cancer and sensitive's take.

You do a lot in your job. That is very stressful. Upper management types could never do all that you do and they do not understand the stress levels. They just slave people. I used to live my life on a hamster wheel, too. And occasionally I would snap. I was always very resentful about the amount of work I was expected to juggle. It made me very angry. I am so glad to be retired now. I hated working!

I started praying nightly before bed when Trump was elected, something I've rarely done on a daily basis. I always drop off before the "amen" part. Best sleeping pill EVER! Amazed at its effectiveness, and do not mean to diss praying, at ALL. Mind wanders, I begin again, and am soon asleep.

Bach flower sleep pearls are pretty good if you refuse pharma pills.

There are morning people, early birds, and night people, night owls.

The early bird winds down and falls asleep around 10 the latest and gets up at 5-6am, while the night owl may not go to bed until the early bird wakes.

It's a really weird paradigm, but i have known a few people on the night owl side as well.

Some of my reasoning is that there is very little to no influence of personality, communication or noise, rather it is calm and free for thought and activity.

The world gets tired and wanes in a small bout of death.

The early bird dies first while the night owl mourns through the night and into morning, at some point he falls to rest.

Right now i lay in bed on the other side of about 5 hours of sleep, eyes watering beggimg me to shut them again. The early birds of the house have made coffee and are probably wondering why I'm not up yet.

Two groups that may never understand one another, a given in our system of duality.

I tell these people... You must be resilient to what you've always taken for granted, like constant restful sleep, food, shelter, warmth/cool... If/when society collapses, you can't expect to lay your head down at 10 pm the latest every night.

It's funny how the regular sleeper is irritable after losing only hours of sleep.

My most emotional and compassionate self came to be after much pain, suffering and lack of sleep.

For the last week , sleep dont come easy. Ive always been a night person and here lately i go to bed later and later and sleep in later.
Seems to be my natural rhythm to go to bed late and sleep late and i did that as a child, and now at almost 60, i am sliding back to that same rhythm.
I do notice as we get closer to the full moons each month i sleep deeper and deeper and on full moon, i am totally lost in deep sleep, and dont want to wake up!
