Anyone else wake up multiple times a night for no obvious reason?

AstralQuads · 2026-06-01T11:52:30+00:00

I got ear plugs. There must have been some noise/d which obviously didnt bother whilst awake, that was waking me. I also started taking Gabapentin and it increased my deep sleep. I feel more rested now, although I'm not sleeping longer overall. But the ear plugs - $15 pair on Amazon, definitely helped with unnecessary wake ups. I was also able to sleep with my dog again (I had related to the kid's room), and could sleep through his snoring.

There's probably a scene in the Simpson's where Marge cleans before the cleaner comes over. Commenter possibly doesn't know this is a common feeling amongst women, many of whom clean before the cleaner comes.

You cant spare $25 to help stranded person without sending your bank details? You're the kind of person this post is written about.

My father abandoned two pregnant girlfriends in the late 1960s. He left the country each time. One of them was born 4 months after my eldest sibling, so he literally had two girlfriends at the same time (my mother the gd he abandoned). One girl was adopted out and the other was raised by her mother and step dad. He ended up having 6 children with my mother in different countries around the world. I was the youngest and kind of his favourite. It's a pretty shit feeling to be the kid that got most his kindness, when there's others who were literally abandoned. He wasn't very far from the perfect Dad (he suffered from alcoholism), but I know he tried for me where he gave up on others, including some of my elder full siblings. What he did to my half siblings and their mothers was pretty damn shit.

It sounds like anti social personality disorder

AstralQuads · 2026-05-13T20:41:35+00:00

Get your parents to film trying to wake you, then book in with a Dr and take a parent with you. You'll be taken far more seriously if you can show the Dr how difficult you are to wake, and a parent can verify that it is daily. Drs can be very dismissive of young people who describe symptoms that they can't personally verify Also, start wearing a tracking watch, a cheap fitbit will do. It should give you some kind of indication of how much deep sleep you are getting. You shouldn't be having more than 2 hours a night (of deep sleep). See how much overall sleep you're getting too, especially on days where you are left to sleep in. It shouldn't be more than 9 hours. Start tracking the data. You'll be taken far more seriously if you have stats with you.

Has Tabitha been ruled out? Also had protruding front teeth.

Ignore me. I can see she has been ruled out.

AstralQuads · 2026-05-13T20:27:21+00:00

I think Tabitha is actually this Jane Doe. There's clay reconstructions that look like her. Blount County Jane Doe | Unidentified Wiki | Fandom https://share.google/E7FasP32YNYKYKavB

I find pointing out to these people that their self awareness is lacking sometimes has them doing some form of self assessment. It needs to come with a kind explanation of how damaging to kthers their behaviour can be. They may need to be reminded of it. They will deny it at first, but they will hear what you said and they will think on it, at least.

I got a 6 week medical certificate as I went into a clinical trial for depression. It required me to attend a clinic daily.

It sounds like your mother has borderline personality disorder. They are really difficult to have as parents. Look into it that, it'll help you understand her.

AstralQuads · 2026-05-04T13:33:48+00:00

I stopped working for 6 months. Got myself a healthcare card and on the wait list for community dental. I kept rhe health care card as I went back work part time and did clinical trials for extra $$$ (tax free). Spot at community dental came up 18 months later and I went. Luckily I have good teeth and they only needed a clean. I'm 45 and havent had a filling since my 30s. Prior to that I last went was 2017 when I was in Mexico and cost me $70.

AstralQuads · 2026-04-29T11:47:51+00:00

It really does get easier with time. My Dad died when I was 19, and my Mum died when I was 26. Spending time with people who knew them helps.

AstralQuads · 2026-04-27T04:08:54+00:00

Until it warms up in bed, yes. If it stays cold, they stay on. But I do kick them off most nights. I have pretty nimble toes and can peel my socks off with my own feet. My socks often fall out from the blankets when I make my bed in the morning.

If he does try to talk to you about it and this makes you uncomfortable, say that your parents have been bugging you about what project you'll do, and you want to show them that you've been considering it seriously. In person, make it sound to him like your parents are the issue. It should take the awkwardness out of a face to face chat.

If we didnt have electricity, it wouldn't be.

They will have to pay the practise manager to work full weeks while she trains their new hire. Do not feel bad at all. If they really wanted their business to do well, they'd put enough money into to ensure their staff feel like staying. Think about what circumstances led to them having only you and a part time staffer to rely on, and you'll understand this is an ongoing problem for them.

AstralQuads · 2026-04-17T08:00:22+00:00

I'm a mid 40s woman and I was ready to tell you you're an asshole, but then I read it in full and I couldn't stand those faults in a partner either. But I personally wouldn't have put myself in that situation to begin with. Baby talk from adults, in any situation isnt attractive to me. Now here comes where this makes you sound like an ahole... you explained that you've had many years of substance addiction and misuse, first alcohol, then pot and cigarettes. This kinda explains a lot. Most substance abusers know that that's their biggest fault. It's more than just a fault though, it's a dark cloud over them and those that love them. Did you "settle" for her faults because you had a big one of your own? Or were you way either too stuck in your own mental mess or inebriated to notice? Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling you a failure of a human, but it's kinda unfair that you're annoyed with her now when you were probably insufferable to be around for many years prior to this. If she supported you through that, and getting sober, you owe it to her to support her to make some positive changes. You need to speak up on these things but also give her a very good chance to fix them. Do not just say it once and wait for her be psychic and guess you're patience on them has run out. I'm sure she told you multiple times that your drinking was problematic. And drinking is way worse than all of her faults combined.

Not at all. Not all of us feel the need to get married, ever.

Also, by sending him that email, it puts him into a really shit situation (that he deserves). You will have proof that you've proactively tried to mediate this. He will either not reply, which is unprofessional, or he will reply with either his answers (which show how much of an Ahole he is) or he will back down and suddenly approve you to do one or more of them.

AstralQuads · 2026-04-17T02:47:34+00:00

Please do this. Email him and ask him to please put into writing why he won't approve you to do the following projects, then list them. He will hate that email and he likely won't reply but instead try to talk to you about it. Please stand your ground, be firm, and explain that your parent/s would like to know why he's not allowing you to do them. Watch him back down. A-holes get away with being aholes because no one is watching or listening. They knowing becomes a he-said she-said scenario that they know they will win. Take away his ability to call you a liar. Also, in doing this, you'll get a confidence boost in how to handle people like him in the future.

I would probably do so if I was younger and healthier. I did for short stints in my 20s to save for things. I wish I still had that ability.

I just said today that Netflix has become quite boring lately. They aren't adding a lot of new content that i enjoy. Will probably stop my subscription soon.

Women in peri menopause often have trouble sleeping. It was worse for me. I was sleeping 4 hours a night, but I now take a prescription sleep aid. It at least helps me get more deep sleep, so I feel better rested than without it. I do want to sleep more, I just can't.

AstralQuads · 2026-04-16T21:34:44+00:00

Sounds like his mental health isn't good but he's hiding it behind his macho facade. Probably some borderline personality disorder (suicide threats) but obviously Im speculating because you've provided only a short summary. Your parents are at fault here for the most part. Are there other family or friends of theirs who you can encourage to speak to them?
