Career US Army infantryman. The Army taught me to be able to fall sleep virtually anywhere, at any time. I lay my head down in a halfway comfortable position and I can fall asleep in a matter of seconds. If I have 5-10 minutes and need the sleep, there you go.

The only times I have trouble falling to sleep is when there is something I needed to do and forgot. When I get up and attend to it, I'm right to sleep. I can drink 3 pots of coffee and still fall asleep with no problem. However, I am now at the age when my bladder will wake me up about every 2 hours.

It takes me a while to get to sleep, probably around 2300-2400 on the norm. Once I do, it's interrupted sleep. And then to top it off, I'll wake up between 0300-0400. Like wide awake, out of bed, might as well start working or working out. I have been to the VA to see my arm about it, done sleep studies, been on several different medications, all that make me feel worse, and with very little help actually fixing the issue.

If I'm not engaged, I fall asleep. I've napped everywhere, sleepwalking through jobs including one time, taking a big girl and blocking an aisle to keep the folks in the moshpit area, unfortunately, she was wearing a leather coat and the resemblance to my sister's leather couch was too much. Worked until my boss kept zapping me with his flashlight and I didn't respond.

But then, I have pain in pretty much every place you can imagine having pain, so it does sort of interfere. Still, I'd give my left... whatever... to get just one good night's sleep. So don't take it so hard, and by gawd I do hope you don't develop such insomnia or pain problems as you become the Grand Old Generation you will eventually be.
