Sleeping better in the van (1 Viewer)

[Wildbill]

OK I have spent a lot of time in the van since Christmas
But now finding it impossible to sleep in the house
Dose anyone else have that problem
Is there a cure for my problem I have yet again packed in smoking and I am on the patches

It probably due to the extra fresh air. I always sleep better in campervan.

We ...Including Blue the dog all sleep better and longer in the van than we do at home. I think part of it is the black out blinds make the van darker so daylight doesn't waken us up so early. Plus the noise of the rain helps put us to sleep relaxed.

I sleep better in the van too

I sleep better in the van too - but that may be down to my alcohol intake increasing 3 fold !!

I always sleep better in the van. I put it down to more fresh air and exercise and being more relaxed because I'm not at work.

I've suffered some broken ribs recently & the motorhome is the only place I can sleep. I'm also pestered by hip pain as I await a replacement & the motorhome is where I make for at night. Its saves Hazel from being pestered by me turning over & over in bed. My mutt loves it too as she's allowed to sleep on the motorhome bed lol.

Have always slept better in the van, maybe it's because we're more relaxed.

I sleep better in our van. What isn't there to prefer? Toilet almost beside the bed, you can get a beer out of the fridge without getting out of bed, blackout curtains that work, decent view out of the bedroom window, no landline phones, no expectation from people that I am available at a moment's notice

 

[TerryL]

Go visit a Bowen therapist.

Second that, sorted me out with same problem straight away.

Always sleep better in van than at home....in a hotel for a couple of nights as I'm judging up at Dumfries show today and tomorrow and find sleeping really difficult...should have come in the motorhomes

Slowly reduce the patches.
Go for a walk in the evening.
Stay off the computer after 8pm.
Eat more lettuce.
Have a milky drink before bed.
Good luck!

Inulin powder in your bedtime drink and brew/drink your own kefir = markedly improved sleep.

Always slept better in the motorhome. My sleep is awful now.
Can only suggest making your bedroom as dark as possible.
Don't use screen in the evening ( my downfall, I think)
I have a free App called Relax Melodies. Can put a timer on it, choose up to 3 different sounds from nearly 50. Will send you off to sleep. There are some free relaxation meditations on it too.
Until I became ill, I didn't realise how important proper sleep is. Lots of hormones and chemical reactions take place during different stages of sleep. Miss those on a long term basis and you begin to notice the depletion

 

[Wissel]

Another who sleeps far better in the van

No idea why though - I pretty much do exactly the same when in the van as at home (including work wise). Probably just more relaxed as prefer the van - can't wait to go full-time

 

[Wildbill]

We're at Skipton in the car park had a nice meal a nice walk along the canal
Feeling very relaxed in the van
Should get a good sleep tonight
It's nicotine withdrawals causing my sleep problems
Go sum stronger patches for now will start to reduce them over the next week or so
Bloody nicotine addiction it's terrible

Just spent a lovely quiet relaxing afternoon lying in the van reading and dozing ............................. on our drive.

I have found essential oils work for me these days. I use a blend of them on the soles of my feet. Diffuse them as well in the room.

Yes,agree. Lavender oil in the bath is very relaxing,makes you sleep like a baby.
Also,I do find that watching a comedy prog on telly before retiring to my pit helps......certainly better than watching the news which is seldom relaxing! Why go to bed just after you've been watching war,hunger,murder and lying politicians,certainly not a good idea!
