    Sometimes I might say to the missus I feel rough so im going to lie down and several hours later I emerge from my flea pit, Or it might be I want to see that program you've recorded, so I sit on the setee, watch the first few minutes and them im gone fast asleep :lol:

    The otherday the missus was talking to me, I was listening, and I was looking at her, and the next thing i remember is her looking at me shaking her head and her saying I knew you wasnt listening, I had fallen asleep... oups didn't go down too good... I tend not to do any long distance driving at the moment as I dont want to nod off..... :lol:

    It can be so annoying.....

    Hi lyn

    I don't often go to bed in the afternoon as i hate that just getting up (again) feeling. I tend to fall asleep in chair for 15 mins instead.

    I tell my husband that I need to go and lay down for a while then 2 odd hours later he will wake me up before the kids get back from school.

    Sometimes I have to go to sleep otherwise I'm irritable but when awaken, I find that I feel absolutely terrible. Perhaps making a regular time for a 10 minute nap during the day will help. My jury ismout on this at the moment.

    Oh Lynn
    Your post really made me laugh, I haven't quite done the checkout one...my one is just having ten mins...must say if I do get an hour..I feel really refreshed.....but if it goes into 4 hours then I feel more tired.

    I go to bed wrecked , glazed eyes and stumbling. I only ever get 30 mins but carry on feeling wrecked.
    I did drop off around 8 o/c the other night but my children kept coming and waking me up to ask me questions or tell me things.

    I am convinced it is the pain that makes me so tired and not a side effect of any meds.

    HI Lynn,

    I nap - not as often as I would like - if I didn't have other committments I would nap after lunch each day!! IHowever I tend to lie on the bed for a nap after seeing S off to school for an hour on my day off; if he nods off to sleep after school then I do sometimes too. It's a good way to pack a bit of extra sleep into 24 hours.

    Why is it that it is easy to nap, but not always so easy to fall asleep and stay asleep during the night?!

    I hate the late one though - put S to bed, settle on the bed to give the cat a quick cuddle and fall asleep ... wake up in the early hours and then have to finish chores, put house to bed and get ready for bed myself ...VILE!! Easy to get stuck into a pattern with this one ...

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Lynn - this is brilliant!

    I do all of those!! i can just be sat in the passenger seat of the car and doze off, always have little naps on the sofa, and have been known to stick the electric blanket on and have a little day nap.
    Every friday without fail we sit down to watch the new NCIS season 8 episode that we have recorded from earlier - and i've never yet seen the end of it. Always have to get up the next day and try to remember where i got to......in fact.......there are countless movies that i have seen the beginning of and never the end?!!

    This really cheered me up - great post! :grin:

    I am trying to force myself to stay awake so that I can sleep at night but this doesnt always work.

    I have a reclining chair and more often than not you will find me stretched out, cushion under my head, snoring like no ones business. My husband has had someone round in the afternoon to visit and I have been out for the count rattling the windows. Not good seeing said friends a few days later.

    My most embarrassing kip was in the cinema. I had taken my three kids and a friend to see a Harry Potter Film. I was so tired I felt my head bobbing around like churchill dog in the back of a car. Anyway I eventually fell asleep. I have no idea how long I was actually asleep but my son who was 9 at the time jumped at part in the film. I jumped and screamed. Needless to say I was a bit red faced on the way out.

    Yoga nidra meditation - and I wake myself up snoring.

    Did I just admit to that?
