Just a Quick One
Posted: 11-30-05 17:45pm

I am concerned about a friend of mine and I have just noticed as I was searching through the forums this here.
My friend derek is nearly 16 and he claims nothing is wrong but it is obvious there is.
Just this week you have to take a look.Sunday and monday night he probably had only an hour or 2 of sleep.He is always tired and really,you cant talk to him when he has had no sleep.

I know im a very light sleeper but at least im getting 4 hours sleep at lease every night.What should I tell my friend to do

I think both you and your friend need to see your doctor 4 hours sleep is not good for you.

You both need more sleep than that. At 16 you are probably about to do gcse's and you will need to sleep better to be able to concentrate.

Good luck, and happy dreaming

You all said how concerned you were about me but I didnt see the problem.
On saturday night you can say it caught up with me.While sleeping at a friends house I was in the land of nod and midnight.First time in,well,4 year and I slept right through till 9.30.Best nights sleep ever lol.Its like my body has suddenly clicked on and realised how tired I have been getting.

But derek still has a big problem.He phoned up at 5.30am yesterday morning and hadnt had a wink of sleep.He was up at 9 so I feel sorry for the lad.

I am really pleased that you managed to get some sleep over the week end.

Now that you have realised how much sleep you have missed maybe you can try talking again to your friend and hopefully get him to see a doctor who maybe able to help.

You shud probably still see a doc yourself!! One night of sleep is good but you still need more.

Alternativly you could try herbal sleep aids, they are not addictive and available from most good health food stores.

I am going to see a doctor.My girlfriend has shown she is concerned about me and sneaked something into a drink when I was at hers a few nights ago to help me sleep.
It did work cause when I go home an hour later I was so relaxed and just wanted to hit the pillow.
I need to find out what it was
