Can’t do anything today, smoking kills, too much sleep, to little sleep etc.

I worked in a place up north called Quincy MA and there was a graveyard. In this graveyard everyone died around the 19 hundreds and all died in their 80s and 90’s.

Maybe because food was fresh and people worked with exercise.

Yep. When ole Doc Carter handed mom my birth certificate, he also handed her a notional, post-dated death certificate.

It's always something.

Yes, really.
I usually stay up for 24 - 36 hours and then sleep 12 - 14 and sometimes sleep for over 18 hours.
Whenever I eat lots of carbs or sugar, I’m OUT for a long, long time.

I’m 64 and would give anything to be able to sleep at least 8 hours a night. I have to get up at 4am for work every weekday so my normal is about 6 hours of sleep a night as there is too much going on at home with my elderly in-laws medical situations for me to go to bed before 10pm. On weekends I can’t sleep past 5am, no matter what time I go to bed. I’m tired!

Life will kill you.

No, looks like sleep will kill us. Better lay in a good supply of meth....

Really?! What about simply dying in your sleep?

Same here - hoping for dreams of him and me together again.

It will be four years next week, and while it is getting somewhat better, I still feel that my real life ended when he died, and I am now just waiting until, hopefully, I might see him again.

But, in spite of what some promise us, I am unsure about human theories of the hereafter, so I remember a line from Shakespeare...

“To sleep, perchance to dream”. (Or something like that)

Not one word of it applies to me.

I’m 82.

I’m lucky if I get 5 hours a night.

I’ve had a stroke.

Most “studies” are crap.

Four years next week.

I’m so sorry and I completely understand when you say that your “ real life ended when he died, and now you’re just waiting until, hopefully, you might see him again.”

Sleep is my refuge. I welcome sweet sleep and hate to awake, but “nature calls” and I have a weak bladder, so I try to limit my liquids before my bedtime (whenever that *is*).

Thank you for the Shakespear quote.

i believe in the hereafter and while I’m certain he’s in Heaven, I’m truly uncertain about my chances.

God bless and keep you, beautiful jacquej.
Thank you so much for telling me.
