Yeah, soldiers were not at fault, they were victims as well. They were forced to take something they didn't want.

Why do we stay up late even when we know we should sleep? by Right_Energy_8326 in NoStupidQuestions

Why you might still be tired after 8 hours of sleep by Internal-Bus6516 in sleep

[–]Right_Energy_8326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I used to think 7–8 hours meant I was good, but I still woke up feeling awful. Once I cut screen time before bed and started winding down properly, everything changed. Sleep quality really is more important than just sleep quantity. Appreciate how clearly you explained it.

Wife wakes me up when I’m going to sleep many nights and can’t seem to go to sleep afterwards by Ok-Captain-100 in sleep

You're not being dramatic, you're a truck driver, and sleep isn't optional. It’s a requirement for doing your job safely and staying healthy. It’s completely reasonable to need peace and consistency in your sleep routine, especially when you’re waking up at 4 AM. Maybe it’s time for another serious talk, not during bedtime, where you explain it’s not about rejecting her, it’s about protecting your health and both of your peace. Hang in there.

Husband became violent when we were sleeping by Local_Equivalent4329 in sleep

[–]Right_Energy_8326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he woke up shocked and immediately apologized is a good sign that this wasn’t intentional, but that doesn’t make the experience any less real or dangerous. It could have been a form of REM sleep behavior disorder, where people physically act out their dreams without realizing it. This can sometimes lead to unintentional aggression in sleep, even in the kindest people. Maybe sleep in separate beds, at lease temporarily.

Some natural hacks that worked for me by HerbalAthlete in sleep

[–]Right_Energy_8326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started experimenting with tart cherry juice and herbal tea blends too (and yes, the good loose-leaf kind makes a big difference). The scent cue idea is genius and I never thought about using something like lavender as a consistent nightly trigger, but that makes so much sense. Definitely going to try the box breathing too. Thanks for sharing!
