    The mattress police on google reckon to cover your mattress with plastic and that bed wetting can be the result of an un-happy childhood.
    FTFY.

    If you are a man sharing a bed makes you tired and stupid. You should move into a different room.

    Don't think my mum's frequency was 50hz. I spent ages looking for an invisible blueblottle before realising what it was.

    The remedy is a thing that buzzes in your bedroom.
    Isn't that because it reminds you of being in the womb? I've heard of quite a few people who claimed to sleep better with a constant humming noise in the room.

    Are you drinking enough water?
    Having your five a day?
    Moving your body around enough?

    Find somewhere to take a 20 min nap during your lunch break. You'll definitely feel a lot more productive (not on cUK!).

    There could be several reasons for tiredness:
    • Medical - something like diabetes can have those symptoms
    • Stress - your body is being whacked by anxiety
    • Boredom


    I find the latter one to be the most demanding in terms of making me struggle to get through the working day. If I'm working on something really interesting where I can keep my brain engaged I don't get tired, but otherwise clockwatching and counting the minutes down to going home time becomes a favourite pastime.

    Yeah, those female GALs can get quite feisty if they don't get their standard 27 (alien) hours of sleep a night!!

    I still miss the lovely comfy 40 year old one I had before.
    So why replace it then?

    How do you break this cycle???

    The mattress police on google reckon to change your mattress every 5-7 years and that tiredness can be the result of a bad or worn mattress.
