For my husband on the other hand, sleep is a waste of time and if he could go without sleeping he would, although lately he is being going to bed waaay to early (around 8pm) and then wakes up around 3am and he's wide awake...
If I am good at something, but like "really good", I am good at sleeping. I am one of those that insomnia visit but once every few months if not maybe about 3 times a year. To me going to sleep is easy and very rarely problems bother me enough to loose some sleep, dunno how I do it, but I know it just comes natural.
Now, my problem right now is not so much about lack of sleep, but lack of comfortable sleep. We moved to our new house in April 2008 and when we moved we bought a brand new mattress, unfortunately it was a very bad quality one because in less than 3 years it looks and feels as if a rhinoceros have been sleeping on it while we go on with our day. Both sides (mine and my husbands) have a huge dent the size of the Grand Canyon.
So, besides the terrible mattress situation I still have a bulge disk on my back which makes my sleeping and specially the waking up after hours laying down, just unbearable.
And that's why we have decided to look for a good FIRM mattress like my physiotherapist recommended. So, of course we look on the maybe 5 or 6 furniture stores on the islands, and guess what? A nice, simple, firm mattress is not less than $1,800KYD which is more than 2K US... Inconceivable and crazey!!!!
So, it's either the break your back mattress of the break your wallet new mattresses. I know I really need it, but I also need those 2K for many other things...
Finally after some research we decided to buy a 5inch Firm mattress topper (that have some very good reviews) and give it a try before we decide to break our piggy bank for good.
I order it on amazon.com last night and it should be here in about a week, plus I order a mattress cover big enough for the bed and the topper, the best part was that the total order was less than $200 USD with Free 2 day shipping...
I can't wait to get it and finally get a very nice sleep and I am keeping my fingers crossed that this topper is good and will improve our sleeping quality and eventually quantity!!!
Have a great day!!!

I'm like you! I can fall asleep anywhere! Hardly ever wake up during the night and like you, only have trouble sleeping once in a great while and it's caused from stress over something or that I'm excited. Sorry about your soggy bed. We got a new one about 8 years ago. We always get a Serta Perfect Sleeper. They're great. Bob said the next one we get will be the Dial a Number Mattress. I like mine firm soft, he likes it firm. Have a great day! Hey stick a board under your mattress!...debbie
Praying this works for you! Mattress prices are insane!
Hugs,
andrea
Debbie, the thing with our bed is that it doesn't have a box spring, it's one of those board beds with storage drawers underneath, so sticking a board won't make any difference, thanks for the suggestion anyway!
Andrea, thanks for your prayer, always welcome and hoping this new topper will help us!
Have you got your bed by now? Anyway, Good luck! ;)
