Sleepless nights. (1 Viewer)

[jumar]

Has it become more common to be interrupted whilst sleeping nowadays, or am I becoming more aware of it.
During this trip we have been disturbed on a few occasions......it has happened at the quietest of hideaway locations, the smallest of Swedish harbours (Paid location) to the most beautiful of lakeside Aires in France....do they come in search of us, find us by chance, or should we disable Google location on our Phones....
Are we not seen, do they not understand that there could be people, kids perhaps, sleeping in our vehicles...designed for, Sleeping in....older folk who would like to sleep rather that listed...if that's at all possible to the Boom of the Base notes of theirs, not our favourite tunes....
We now choose to stop at a private Aire during Friday and Saturday night...pay for silence....but they are never that far away, we can hear them in the distance, annoying someone else....perhaps they failed to find us tonight, thanks Google.....keep us secret....we need our rest.....time to plan tomorrow....now what's number one on our required agenda....

I must say that I have chilled in the last few years, at one time you could have called me a bit of a lad, having worked on the door for £20 a night or free drinks and went for the drinks.

I don't think it's an age thing, probably more of losing my sight in one eye, and the risk of having the other one shut.
Or going from a country boy to living in an apartment in Spain, and not letting noise annoy me, because we rent out and our guests probably make a noise so we say nothing.

We had some herbert's chatting outside our van a few nights ago, and providing they don't touch the van, giving me reason to do anything I just put my ear plugs in and enjoy another free night.
This made me smile on park4night. Bob.

Ps Sorry about the Pink Floyd but its wine o'clock and chilling.

No need to apologise for listening to Pink Floyd and chilling...... one of my favourite pastimes ???

I don't have any problems about waking up... I never get to sleep in the first place. .

I thought I was a bad sleeper

Then I got a fit bit which includes measuring sleep

Since I’ve been monitoring my sleep patterns it seems that I’m actually sleeping well (average 7.5 to 8 hours)

As a result I worry less about how well I’m sleeping, and I’m now sleeping even more

I used to lie awake worrying about how long it took to get to sleep - when I actually monitored it, I found it was usually 7-10 minutes... so now I don't worry about it
? ? ?

As you get older you seem to be able to get away with less sleep and still feel refreshed.
when i happen to sleep all night i feel more tired in the morning, can't work that one out!

No matter how little sleep you get, if it's your "choice" (even if unwanted) it seems OK. But if outsiders disrupt your sleep the knock-on effect seems to last for hours (if not days(!
