When was your last 'stay in bed a good part of the day' day?

Asked by Mama_Cakes (11161points) December 28th, 2015 from iPhone

Not because you felt sick, but just run down and you felt that you needed more sleep (mixed in with a bit of reading whilst under the covers).

Saturday after Xmas. I was wiped out, I am not a napper but I lounged in bed with my electric blankey and just read, fluthered and watched videos almost all day. I am trying to get into bed early these days too and linger for a couple hours before going to sleep. The joys of winter. I hate summer any more, you don;t wind down til dark at 9 o’ clock and by the time you get to bed it is 11. I like winter where you can get in your comfy PJ’s at 6 and linger. haha

Last Saturday.

I had great hopes for today, as it’s cold, gray, and rainy outside, but it doesn’t seem as if that’s going to be. [sigh]

One day last week I went the day without ‘dressing’, alternating between the internet, reading and cooking. It was relaxing but not a total “me” day.

^^^ I’m so envious! I love those lazy, relaxed days spent in bedroom slippers. Too many such days would be a bad thing – possibly a symptom of depression – but the occasional treat is just wonderful.

A doggie makes those days impossible. Every morning, I have to get up early, put on clothes and shoes (the horror!), and take her for a walk. But, the dog brings so many other joys to my life, the tradeoff’s ok.

It happens a lot more than I want it to. Probably due to long bouts of depression. I get up not feeling refreshed but even worse than before.

Not ever since I stopped having horrendous hangovers.

I’ve had days when I have hung out in bed until 11 or twelve, but rarely except when sleep deprived for some reason. But really, I like to get outside and get some fresh air if possible.

I can’t remember. Looks like I found a project!

1993. Post-surgery.

I did have some good, long sleep-ins during the first few months after I retired six years ago. Not most of the day, though.

I don’t really like to lie about in bed. But I do come out to the living room with a blanket, a book, and a heating pad and have myself a good laze on the love seat. After a very stressful run-up to Christmas, I took the day after Christmas off, and that’s how I spent most of it, beside the Christmas tree with a book.

It was a dismal, gray, rainy day, and I kept all the holiday lights on all day, just for coziness and cheer.

I work graveyard shifts so I spend the day in bed at least 4 times a week.

Every weekend and holiday. Like today, and tomorrow and the whole of this week, actually.

I don’t recall ever sleeping in as you describe. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning I’m always up and moving. I’ll sleep all I want when I’m dead.

I doesn’t happen for me often. This past Sunday, though, I needed it. It was lovely.

Mid -November. I don’t sleep, in fact I wake up pretty early even on weekends, out of habit. Once in a while my daughter will be at my parents’ house and I’ll have a free Saturday where I have no errands (typical would be hairdresser) and I can laze around the house. The whole holiday season was crazy with holiday parties, birthday parties and visiting people. I’m really overdue for a day to do nothing. Hopefully this coming weekend. Usually I feel guilty like there’s stuff that needs to be done but I’m not doing it.

I’ve had lazy at home days but can’t remember a stay in bed day. If I’m feeling really unpressured or tired I might sleep in til 9 or 9:30 but rarely even that.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

I can’t ‘sleep in’ these days. I might stay in bed a little later and read or play on my laptop. I find it hard to ‘do nothing’. However, my husband has insisted I pretty much do that for the last few days. So I’ve watched films, watched Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth), read my book and have actually napped a couple of times! I have been to the cinema, so I have left the house. Today, I’m going to go out with my camera. I feel the need to get moving and do things.

Today, actually. I was supposed to have the day completely off, so I had some stuff planned. But, I got called into work. So I went there until noon. When I got home I was supposed to show someone my apartment but they cancelled, so I went to bed at around 4pm and woke up at 8:41pm.

I can’t honestly remember. At least over ten years ago.

9:58 pm on the west coast, I am perfectly roasted under my electric blankey and fading fast, fading, fading,fading, fad,,,

janbb's avatar

I will add that while I don’t stay in bed, I do often get in bed early, especially in the winter. I love to go upstairs around 8:30 or ( and get into bed and read or watch something. Know it’s not good for sleep habits but it is so cozy.

Would have loved to this morning.

Ah. Got up today at 14:00

Aster's avatar

All day long, in bed, the day after Christmas. I’m obviously too old for all that effort.

ragingloli's avatar

15:00 today. Life is good in the Holy Greater German Empire.

Two days ago, we had a great storm, and i lay in bed listening to the thunder and watching the rain pour down. I love storms, and lightning too.

This morning.

I’ve been having some personal problems that are causing the first insomnia spell of my entire life. It’s been going on for months; sometimes, I sleep only an hour or two. I think I’d had maybe 4 hours of sleep over the previous 3 nights.

Last night, I took a Valium (I avoid drugs, so I did this out of desperation) and knocked-out for a full 9 hours. Then, I fell asleep for another couple of hours. It was pure heaven, and I feel so much better.
