Losing Sleep Because Of Your Cat Pt 1

I’m not sure about you, but I do suffer from sleep deprivation at night. Not because I have a pet of any kind, it’s just that I wake up to a call to nature and find it difficult to get back to sleep again. I have tried reading. I have tried writing another chapter to a book. I have tried staying up to get a few hours work done so that I could possibly sleep in in the morning. None of it works. I still find myself a victim of less than 5 hours sleep most nights. What’s more, the more I get into health issues, I realise that that is not a good thing for someone my age – or anyone really as during sleep time, your brain is supposed to be resting and your body is supposed to be healing itself.

Therefore it leaves me wondering how do people with pets get on when they want to play and go for walks outside and then to be let back in again during the night time hours when their owners are themselves settling into a good eight or nine hour block of pure rest.

I thought I would ask around to friends I have who have cats and ask them if they have possible solutions to this problem if they have it in their house. Actually from memory when we had cats ourselves – only one at a time as that was all I could handle! – I remember our cat Mottel loved our water bed. She loved to lie right down between us which was often a problem for me as I like to cuddle my husband at night and especially when he worked late and came home not just tired but very cold to the touch. Of course, he wanted to be by the source of heat in his bed when he eventually was able to climb in. However, when you have a very long stubborn sleepy cat between you, then I can assure you that our nights were not often peaceful, calm and loving towards each other. He loved the cat in our bed while I did not!
