Anyone else have trouble sleeping with their spouse/kids are out of town? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would wear myself out. Work out a lot or stay up really late so I would pretty much pass out once I hit the pillow.

Answer 2

I just came back from San antonio , texas I had been away from my husband and It was so hard for me to sleep while up there because the bed feel so cold so what I did every night was get all the extras pillows and filled the empty side that tend to help

Answer 3

Sure do, it's normal. I use a sound machine and it is wonderful. The one I have has a timer on it or I can leave it on all night. It has several sounds to listen to, but my favorite is the rain sound, it's sound just like the rain outside my window. It also drowns out other sounds in the house, like the creaking houses usually make. It also drowns out my neighbors dog and vehicles when they are leaving. I have to stay by myself alot and it sure helps me, plus I take it with me if I go out of town too. Help when you're in unfamiliar places and not use to unfamiliar sounds. I bought my sound machine at Radio Shack, it was worth the money. Good luck.

Answer 4

when my husband is out of town i sleep with a lamp on and sometimes the tv to "trick" myself into think he is just watching tv in the other room. A little silly but it works. it's hard being without the ones you love.

Answer 5

It's hard when they are away. To get to sleep take a hot bath and then try drinking some Sleepytime tea. You'll be more relaxed and more likely to doze off. Nite.

Answer 6

Yeah, it sucks. I have to have the radio or TV on to fall asleep. It may help to snuggle up with your spouse's pillow if it has her scent on it --- the faint smell can be comforting.

Answer 7

No, actually, I sleep alot better having the bed to myself.

Answer 8

two words BODY PILLOW!
