I've always been a terrible fidgety sleeper, generally a restless person so nothing of this is new.
Every night I share the bed with DP I wake them up or keep them awake for ages. This is really bad for them as they rely heavily on undisturbed sleep for their health.
This is either due to either fidgeting to get comfy whilst awake or once I drop off I'm having what they describe as anything from little muscle spasms, to flailing my limbs like I'm being electrocuted, to shouting. Then without fail I'll wake back up at about 3am and the cycle starts again.
It's at the point we don't share a bed often and I'll just crash wherever I can in the house. Obviously this isn't helpful for my sleep or health either and it's rubbish as I miss falling asleep and waking up next to them.
I'm always tired, I rarely if ever sleep undisturbed unless I've had a few drinks or take a sleep aid.
The nature of my job doesn't help and I can for part of the month be woken abruptly during sleep to be called in to work.
We have a good mattress, but small bed. The sleep room situation isn't conducive to proper sleep hygiene for reasons beyond our control and trying to switch off fully before bed is tricky due to either work or just family life. We don't have any more room for me to have a bedroom either.
Help please!!!
