I Can't Stay Awake During Movies
 

Ever since I got pregnant with my first child in 2003, I haven't been able to stay awake for movies at home or even in the theater. In those five years, it hasn't changed. No matter how bad I want to see the movie, I fall asleep.

Well, happened again Saturday night. Spent $30 to see Harry Potter and slept through most of it.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I am not a good movie watcher. I have a hard time sitting through a movie.

You didn't miss much anyway... :winkwink:

sorry about slipping you all those sleeping pills....

i'm addicted to the date rape... what can i say......

That use to happen to me with a certain girlfriend. After we broke up, no problems.

I have the same prob :Oh crap , I have to watch movies here at the house a few times before I actualy have seen the whole movie. Thank god for on-demand . I don't even go out to the movies any more as all I do is take a nap and wake up with mt neck all fucked up. :( I am gald to know it's just not me thoe.

:):)

Haha I am going to show this to my wife. She gets so pissed at me especially when I start snoring! LOL

Let's start a support group. 'Hello my name is Michael...'

I had to stop going to theaters. Put me in a dark room and I am going to sleep.

Your body is telling you that it needs rest

It happens to me at home a lot, mostly if I start the movie too late (after 9:30). I've never fallen asleep in a theater tho, I can't sleep in public or while moving.

Tips to stay awake at home - sit upright, once you lay on the couch you're toast. Take frequent breaks - get up to get a drink, snack, use the bathroom, anything.

LOL, I get some good sleep actually ... don't tell my husband I might need more rest. : )

Take a large coffee in the theater with you or bring me Ill keep you awake!

Must have been a boring movie, that's why. Nice cigar, kristin.

me too sometimes

tisk tisk you're not listening to your body :winkwink:


Awhile back I had the same problem as I was stressed and not getting enough sleep. I'd pop in a movie and lay down to watch it and I was asleep in minutes. I could eat a big meal and fall asleep sitting in my chair. I was able to eliminate the stress, changed my sleeping habits and now I can lay down and watch a movie at any hour without falling asleep. My body is getting enough rest and doesn't feel the need to shut down every time I stop moving.

you work too much and when you relax - you fall asleep...

Funny, I know a few other women like that. A few times when Id be watching a movie with a girl they would fall asleep.. lol..

I happens to me from time to time, at home only , I guess I think I can watch it again and again on demand:winkwink:

That's the truth!

Interesting -> same here, but only in last 2.5 years - since I am a parent... :P

i heard it was a sleeper anyway
