MrsS… doesn’t dream at all whereas I dream endlessly, several a night. But they’re all based around the same theme of not being able to get somewhere, find something or get something done. It’s feckin knackering going to sleep.
I thought I’d stopped dreaming about twenty years ago, turned out I’d just got married.
No, seriously, for about ten years no dreams and only if I get interrupted at night can I recall something. Basically I think stress and worries effect what you can remember, not a physical incapability to dream.
Sleep is generally where your brain sorts the BS out from the previous day and what to save as useful information, or in my case useless information ![]()
Probably very influenced by stress!
Ive read this. Making sense and filing of the days experiences. Also there was a study that everyone dreams… its just some people dont remebered their dreams.
Personal I can go 6 months without remembering a dream and then I remember every one for a week. Now I know the theory that its making sense and storing experiences in part of the brain I can normally workout what triggered the dream (even if the dream is a common theme, small details in a seemingly same dream reveals the trigger)
Been doing some reading on this today
It does seem to be the general consensus that everyone dreams but not everyone remembers them
Interesting discussions on whether animals dream as well - judging by my dogs I would say that they do
Had a late (8pm) sports massage yesturday, is it a coincidence I got a sleep score PB 97!
Happy ending?
Would probably also work. Shortly boarding to Teneriffe if that counts.
I’ve really struggled to get out of bed since Wednesday, worse today and I didn’t sleep too badly.
Hoping I get back in a routine soon, feeling tired through the day as well so probably not as much recovery.
Agreed - 5 out of 5 fails this week for going to the gym before work
It’s been a real struggle to get back into the routine
New mattress inbound today, hoping for an uptick in sleep score
.
Funny coincidence. I’ve one of those mattress in a box coming on Monday from Origin mattresses I think it is. I took a look at our existing mattress, which I love, and thought I can’t expect a tenant to sleep on that it’s 18yo and has some… impressive stains
. Who’d you go with for a mattress @Doka?
When we bought the current one we spent an afternoon going around the mattress shops laying on those test rigs and settled after many shops (probably because it was the last one) on nearly the hardest we could find which was the Nicheli’s Lessstress Ice Cloud Ortho 2000. Turned out to be too hard
so we put a memory foam topper on it. We’ve been happy with it but after some years there’s a valley where I sleep every night.
I couldn’t face a repeat session of mattress shopping so I just rung the same shop & asked for the same mattress but a bit softer which is same type but something something 2200. Apparently ours is a 9/10 hard & this is a 6/10 hard.
Being on the larger side myself this happens a lot with mine. I started spending a bit less but replacing more often. No way am I getting 8 years out of mattress, half that if Im lucky
Didn’t know you were Welsh…
We still have the matress we bought in 2007 in our Dorset house, it is looking a bit sad and is squashed on my side because I’m 15kg fatter than Mrs.
Got a new one in our other place, it’s much nicer to sleep on.
Long term I guess we’ll just have one place and ditch the old one in a hedge somewhere on a country lane, just kidding
Mrs Fruit must be like 50kg?
I’m 71kg right now ![]()

Which I guess is why my end is more squashed
