What would you rather have?

Sleep...over the last few months I cannot sleep through the night, I wake up. Then I frequently cannot go back to sleep. I am tired all the time. If I take a nap, during the day, I just wake up earlier that night...

Yes, I have talked to my doctor, he said...it happens when you get older!??

I had the same problem. Make your room completely dark, even cover the LED clock. Turn off ALL electronic entertainment an hour before bed. The blue light is sleep-disruptive. Then, just relax and don't worry about it. Some white noise for background helps too. If all else fails, get checked for sleep apnea, which will often wake you at night.

Yup, I only know that too well. But I'm getting better. One thing is to have a DEFINITE time to go to bed. And that's no and ifs or buts. Surprisingly this works. I used to wake up sweaty and too warm. Someone told me to turn down the thermostat. DUH!!! Solved that problem.

oldaunt....thanks. I already do the 'dark room' deal. I have been checked for sleep apnea. I am ok there. The rest I will check out and try...again, thanks...

Yep, we go to bed at 10pm every night! We have for years. We keep our heat at 68 degrees in the cool months...I wake up, usually to go to the bathroom (2am to 3:30am), then when I get back in bed I cannot sleep! Thanks for the comments...

what do you do if you wake up hot ... but you have no heating on ? ...and , you have no AC :(
 
I vote for more money also. I still have to dig myself out of debt from the past two years and then I'd sleep very soundly and have more free time if I wanted it.

Health is also super important. I wouldn't want to lose my health to win a lawsuit that would make me independently wealthy if this is a trick question in any way.
 
I'd choose more sleep.
I thought I would be the exception in this thread, but I see that more sleep is not an uncommon wish after all.

I would love more sleep and better sleep, so that I could feel a little better than I do, during my awake hours!:confused::(

I have tried most of the above posted suggestions and more, but I will read them all over again, to see if I missed any that I could try, or try again, if it's been a while since I last did.

About your question in above post, if I am able to, I get a cold pack, for my head or body. It sometimes helps.
