Been up since 230 because of heartburn….getting old sucks. How do y’all do it everyday…

Hello friends. I've been gone for a bit. Hope the lights are still on. Be Blessed in these - the Sacred Triduum...final days of Lent.

I only get old on Mondays. I'm perpetually 12 years old mentally the rest of the week.

Good morning INGO.

 

[wtburnette]

Morning all...

Slowly making sure I reduce caffeine so that I don't have any after noon and am reducing alcohol and finding that with both I tend to sleep better. Got right around 8 hours of sleep last night with no assistance from benadryl. Hoping I can make this a habit.

Sleep is a good thing. It's the one thing that I tend to do well.

It was much worse when Monica lived here. She slept poorly and had horrible sleep habits (couldn't get ready for bed in a reasonable manner so that we could get 8 hours of sleep). On top of that she was working a schedule that got us up at 5am every morning by her screeching alarm. Now I go to bed at 10 or 11 and sleep until my body wakes me. If I read for ~30 minutes before bed, I fall asleep right away and sleep pretty soundly. I don't have an alarm any day except Saturday when I meet you and the other guys for breakfast. It's much more peaceful and I'm starting to get to the point where I can naturally get 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night.

So four+ cups of coffee and three white Monsters yesterday was not good?

Don't let the old man in.

....but how? The knocking gets louder every year.

any of that past noon would have been bad for me. I'm really affected by caffeine, you might not be. I have read and watched videos where you need to give yourself at least 8 hours for the caffeine to get flushed out of your system in order for it to not affect sleep. For me it's closer to 12 hours. Thankfully I normally drink my 2nd (last) cup of coffee at 10 or 11 in the morning, so that usually works pretty well. Sometimes it's even earlier. Honestly if you have problems sleeping I'd try reducing caffeine intake and see if it helps. You also need to have other good sleep habits, but reducing caffeine has been a big one for me.

A daily Omeprazole keep the ulcers at bay for me. Some days one in the morning, and one before bed.

I would actually say that I fairly sensitive to caffeine. Moderation is not my strong suit which is why I quit caffeine from time to time and then run into that one day of "need " and then it is game on. lol!

Dang....that 19-4 sold in classies....I should have bought that one. :-(

Morning folks!
I tend to have just one cup of coffee in the morning. When I worked and had to be on call it was a totally different story.

I'm right there with you, though, generally I cut off any caffeine around 3PM. Sometimes that isn't enough depending on how much I have. I cut out most caffeine back in high school. Now it is an occasional hot chocolate or tea, sometimes a soda at lunch. A lot of times, I go with the caffeineless soda.

At home I drink mostly water, some juice.

That is easy. The level of deafness rises in proportion to the volume. Try shooting more w/o ear pro.

For me it's Nexium (Esomeprazole Magnesium). Just once a day does the trick, though every occasionally I'll still get acid reflux before bed, depending on what I ate that day.

Reducing caffeine intake it way better for you than eliminating it entirely. If you cut one thing a day until you get to the right level, or drink all the caffeine you want until ~noon or so, you *should* see better sleep.

Yep. Everyone is different. Some can drink caffeine until bedtime and not be affected at all. I'm not that fortunate. I have cut out soda entirely and tea for the most part as well. I drink water and occasionally drink some powerade for something with flavor. It's really hard, but pretty much anything else affects me adversely in one way or another.

Years of 357 with 1980's quality ear protection already did that...but I can hear the constant ringing fine. I don't understand that?LOL?

Back when I used to run, if someone asked why, I would answer with "I am running from time".

Moderation?

Next you are going to tell me I only need one pistol, one rifle and one shotgun.

but you are right. Moderation is the key. I have cut out sugar and am working on weight. Down about 12 pounds. Doc and I agreed on 40 by end of the year.
