Hi Dave,

I was wondering since you get up early, you go to bed early too? If so do 
you get turned at night?
The reason I ask is because my devoted wife does my turn at night and she 
is starting to burn out
after 10 1/2 yrs. I thought about not getting turned, but I don't want to 
risk getting bed sores. I
can't get help for night turns. How many people here don't get turned at 
night and don't have

bed sores?
Thanks,

Ray

  Hi Tim,


  I could drop off to sleep in a matter of minutes pre-SCI, and am still 
the same way post.  I also wake up at 5:55 AM at the latest each morning.  
I have a stop-watch with a beep alarm hanging by my bed set to go off at 6 
AM but am always awake when it goes off.  I sleep straight through the 
night unless there is something wrong with me, or outside and inside.  I 
feel I am blessed!


  With Love,

    Before my SCI I could fall right to sleep when I hit the sack, but 
post SCI it takes me 1-2 hour to finally fall asleep. Has anyone else 
experienced this?
