disturbed sleep

[twinny-15]

Hi I keep having sleeping problems I wake several times to go to the toilet, and my eyes are very dry, my mouth is also very dry and I always have a blocked nose at night..any ideas???? Twinny

[ummmm]

Do you sleep with the windows open?

[twinny-15]

No cos my neighbour has dogs that constantly bark after
6am when he lets them out

[jno]

you could maybe put a humidifier in the room.

Going to the loo is a separate matter - do you drink a lot before you go to bed?

[caththecrazy]

well get some ear plugs if you don't need to be awake for any children or put some bowls of water in the room

[ummmm]

Open the windows and buy ear plugs.

[twinny-15]

No because this has been happening for several weeks have made sure I drink nothing for at least 2 hrs before bed

[twinny-15]

Will try ty..Twinny

[ummmm]

OK...open the windows, buy ear plugs and drink nothing for 4 hours before going to bed.

[twinny-15]

MMM hope I don't get dehydrated lol

[caththecrazy]

Do you think it is the symptoms that are waking you up? or are you generally a bad sleeper?

I'm not sure the going to the loo and the other symptoms are connected? But think if the room was more ventilated the eyes mouth and nose might be better.

Are you taking any medication that coudl be causing this?

[zig.zag]

first of all shoot the dogs

what sort of heating do you have in your house?

[twinny-15]

I am on diuretics( spelling) but during the day cause no problemsso am mystified.Twinny

[caththecrazy]

I've never taken those but are the side effects causing the dry eyes, mouth etc? I'd be asking the pharmacist or go back to your gp and ask if he can change the dose or something

[twinny-15]

Don't tempt me .. the dogs bark all the time I go out my door they bark..I am at my wits end .. just want a good nights sleep.Twinny

[ummmm]

I've moved from a big victorian town house with the original sash windows to a small (in comparison) terrace with double glazing. I still wake up in the mornings bunged up and feeling a little sick after a year here.

[twinny-15]

Been on the same tablets for 4 years never had this problem before.. may see Doc see if I can come off them see if that helps.. Twinny

[zig.zag]

spot of hypertention twinny

i'll come down and do the dirty deed meself if it helps lol

[twinny-15]

Oh please I have been tempted to give them( tainted food ) but it's not their fault .. just stupid owners.. Twinny

hang some damp washing in the room and hour or so b4 you go to bed and put a bowl of boiling water in there, your probably waking cos of the dryness your experiencing.
