Cant sleep wtf

This is lame, so I enjoy sleep and I'm not a very good morning guy. Lately I've been trying to sleep earlier (10pm instead of midnight), but its caused me nothing but trouble. I seem to always wake up in the middle of the night, around 1-3am and cant get back to sleep for another 1-3 hours.

Is this normal?

Sleep earlier = sleep less?

[nature boy]

no, it's not normal.
but i have a feeling if you keep at your sleep schedule (sleep at 10pm, wake at...8am??) and your body will regulate itself.

one tip that i've heard (but never used it) was to eat at a regular schedule. no midnight snacks. your body will regulate around that eating schedule. sounds like it'd work, but again i've never tried it.

dang it now i can't sleep.
ryan snores super loud man.

yeah, he snores from time to time. yesterday was just extra loud. and snoring isn't a habit lol, it's a condition.

rebecca's kid snored really bad too, he had to get operated on. i hope ryan won't have to go through that. like i said, he snores from time to time, but only yesterday was it really loud.

[Duncan]

wow, way to cop the habit and condition too! haha.. you knew what i meant...

in any case, we just bought a humidifier for hayden's room and it seemed to help her when she was congested. even though she's not congested anymore, we still use it overnight while she sleeps. it seems to help her feel more comfy especially since the colder weather has started to dry out the air recently. not sure if that's something you want to look into as well.

slept at 10pm last night, woke up at 4am.

haha.. maybe you're still jet lagged?

[nature boy]

we thought about getting a humidifier for when he was sick, but i looked into the care of one of those things and how if not properly maintained can do more harm than good. i don't trust myself to properly maintain a humidifier haha, so we just took him into the washroom while we took hot showers. that seemed to work fine.

[Duncan]

haha.. yea... it can be pretty tedious but it's not that bad. these days, there are a lot of humidifiers that reduce maintenance time. all i have to do is stick the base of the humidifier in the dishwasher every day... and rinse out the tank and refill it...

weekly, just fill the tank in a diluted bleach/water solution and let the base sit in a vinegar solution...

that being said, even just sticking it into the dishwasher is probably already too much maintenance for you haha...

you can't take a shower all night while he sleeps! haha

[nature boy]

watch me (like i know you have been hubba hubba)

[Duncan]

that reminds me.. .i've noticed that you haven't been scrubbing a part of your back you can't reach... here, lemme help you...
