UGH. I'm so sorry. My sleep hygiene completely sucks, so I understand. I don't want to go to bed as early as my husband does, so I end up on the couch, where I fall asleep at some point, then wake up because I'm still on the f*#&ing couch, with all of the lights on, and it's 2:30 and I've gotten two hours of sleep, and then I go upstairs but have woken myself up in the process and can't get back to sleep.

Mix & match sizing on 2 pieces is a god-send for me, because I need a bigger size bottom vs. top usually. <br />G doesn't usually snore, but has been recently. Its better than the past years when he would have violent sneezing fits all night during spring allergy season and I banned him from our room.

My DH is an awful snorer. When I was nursing, I couldn't sleep in the same room with DH at all, because I'd finally get a chance to sleep (granted by baby) but could not, because he was sawing logs in my effing ear. These days, we have a routine: I go to bed before him and try to fall asleep before he comes up (I usually can), because if he snores I have no chance of falling asleep, but if I am already sleeping we're OK. Unless one of the kids wakes me up; then I am screwed again and often end up sleeping the rest of the night in the home-office chair or on the sofa. So I feel your pain. I wonder if sleeping next to these snorers affects the quality of our sleep, like never hitting REM, so we can never get enough rest. <br /><br />Re swimsuit, I have giant cantaloupes, so mostly it's a challenge to find a suit to envelop them; I have a couple of simple but supportive all black one-piece suits from Lane Bryant (because only fat women are allowed to have big boobs, apparently).xykademiqzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306861394466282929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-21015339242446766702016-04-14T20:36:19.044-04:002016-04-14T20:36:19.044-04:00FWIW, with really bad patches of insomnia I've...FWIW, with really bad patches of insomnia I've been told to take pills for 10-14 days straight to 'reset' and then stop using...gwinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840990153103781272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-51819967478266747872016-04-14T20:26:08.365-04:002016-04-14T20:26:08.365-04:00also I am really sad about your sleep. and i know...also I am really sad about your sleep. and i know having a diagnosis is partially good and partially stressful. that said, hopefully that will be really helpful once B is treated with what he needs.sarah (SHU)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09785177204149427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-91054238849770930352016-04-14T20:24:46.419-04:002016-04-14T20:24:46.419-04:00YES to athleta (and to 2 pieces. agree more flatt...YES to athleta (and to 2 pieces. agree more flattering overall.)<br />i have one that is basically short shorts for the bottom, and recently got this one: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1026476&vid=1&pid=964869122 plus some short-type bottoms and I am very impressed with the support of the top.sarah (SHU)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09785177204149427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-32413834659001244292016-04-14T18:44:32.348-04:002016-04-14T18:44:32.348-04:00One pieces highlight my "problem area" a...One pieces highlight my "problem area" and I have a VERY short torso so fabric just bunches up and I look frumpy.
