    @89th hahah I'm still looking for it! I KNOW I saved it but it was like 3 computers ago. Still going through the trashbin of Russian dolls that is my older filing system.

    Please love yourself.

        I always remember my dreams, right up until I want to remember them.

          My son feels his dreams hard in the morning, but can't ever remember them. He woke up bawling the other day, but couldn't explain why (and he loves explaining things).

          @89th - I'm finally on the in bed at 10 train.... took me couple of decades to get there. I still feel like I'm shortening my day even though I get up earlier. What clicked for me associating reading fiction (which I love to do, but rarely have time for) with getting in bed at 10 - I can read for as long as I want if I can get in bed at 10.... I never make it more than 10 mins though...

            Now that I'm retired, my sleep routine has changed a bit.

            When I was working, I would be there at 6:15 or 6:45 - depending on where I was in the rotation. That meant a departure from home at about 5:55 or 6:25. I would go to bed at about 10, and sleep until my alarm went off at 5:15 or 5:25.

            Now that I'm not working and have zero obligations, I go to bed around 9, usually falling asleep by 9:30. My 74 year-old prostate usually wakes me at about 3. Sometimes, I can return to sleep, but more often that not, I can't. So I'm up. I read the news, etc, and on a good day, after an hour or so, I can get back to sleep until 6. But that's rare.

            Regardless, I'm out of bed by 6.

              @xenon Good for you! Coincidentally it's 9:57pm right now so I might as well head to bed and make it 2 for 2. I actually thought about cracking open a beer but I know once I do that I'll need a salty snack and then... boom it's midnight.

                I’ve been wearing a watch that tracks my sleep since 2016. In those 8 years I have gotten 8hrs of sleep exactly zero times. It’s just not in me.

                Still in doing a bit better than you, 89.

                  Well you have a fiancée, so I'd imagine there's less sleep. 🎃

                  Last night started well. In bed at 10, asleep at 10:17, but then my kid woke up at 10:45 so it wasn't until 11:45 that I made it back to sleep. Still, more sleep than if I had just waited until midnight!

                    I never looked at my sleep history with my watch.

                    Interesting.

                    IMG_4385.jpeg

                    I don't know how it calculates the average time in bed, but that's absolutely wrong. No way I'm in bed from 9 to 9. Unless, it's counting the hour and a half to two hours that my watch is sitting in the charger.

                      Do you sit in a recliner to watch tv? It may be (mis)counting that

                        Nope. But I do lie down, iPad on tummy, when I watch a movie or a tv series. That might be it.

                          @Aqua-Letifer That is interesting. Why is it (at least for me), that dreams, even if they are so vivid, are quickly forgotten? I will wake up from a dream and, wow!, it is super detailed, etc. but only 10 minutes later, I have trouble remembering it.

                          I experimented with lucid dreaming for some time for which I wrote down my dreams as soon as I woke up. Even a few keywords can help to easily recall dreams in detail. It‘s as if the process of writing down a dream signals your brain that it’s important to remember it.

                          Then again, there are a few dreams (mostly nightmares) I had as a child that I still remember. The brain is a strange thing.

                            Funny, I’m starting to hit the point that I feel better with less sleep.

                              Yeah most likely. I check my watch each morning to see how the sleep went. It is smart to know pretty accurately when you are "in bed" and when you are asleep. About 98% accurate I find, although I don't really look at the "time in bed" metric as much as the "time asleep".

                                  Mrs. George were at the Cheddarshack®. Maggie and Boris were with us (impossible, because we didn't have cats when we had the Cheddarshack®.

                                  I told Mrs. George that we need another pet, and so, we adopted a baby fox.

                                  Yeah, a fox.

                                        I worked for a female dentist from Jamaica NY who was lazy seldom there and treated everyone poorly.

                                          Funny you should ask. In the dream, we had that conversation. I don't remember how it ended.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
