Aaarrrggghhh. I can't sleep.

[Scout1071]

Just can't seem to fall asleep. Lots on my mind and I have been laying in bed wide awake for over an hour.

I hate it when that happens!

1. I hope you're able to relax yourself

and just empty your mind of troublesome thoughts. Breathing exercises help me.

[Scout1071]

3. Thanks. The breathing is helpful.

I must admit that I did take a little Nyquil as well. I've been getting over a cold anyway.


Edited to add that the nyquil is working it's sweet magic and I'm off to bed.

Happy New Year.

[Wapsie B]

4. Happy New Year.

I can't take Nyquil over 2 nights in a row for a cold otherwise it keeps me awake. But unless I'm really overwrought about some problem the slow, rhythmic, breathing, almost like one does when meditating really helps me.

2. I have that problem every night.

:(

It's a good night of sleep for me if I get six hours.

5. Here's what I do

I picture myself in an alien aircraft approaching a mountain at dusk. The craft lands on the mountainside. I exit the craft and approach a steel door in the side of the mountain. I have the key.

I unlock the door, open it and walk down a hallway with only one hanging light bulb from the ceiling. I come to a second door and open it.

Inside is an efficiency apartment. There is a kitchen, breakfast nook, and one slightly larger room with a bed, night stand with lamp, TV and coffee table. The TV is on. The only light on is the one in the kitchen.

You're safe there. Protected. Just get in bed and go to sleep.

6. I'm up too. But because I ate at the Happy China last night.

Aaarrrggghhh, indeed! Indigestion (it was the Chinese mustard with the egg rolls). The Zantac ought to take care of that soon, I hope.

[redwitch]

10. It's 3:30 EST and I am still awake.

Tomorrow will be interesting. It's my own damn fault- I had a cup of coffee after dinner. WTF was I thinking????

[Scout1071]

11. aaaaarrrrgghhh.....now i can't wake up!

It's 11 AM and I'm laying around on the couch. Only been up for 1/2 hour.

Soooooo glad I don't have to work today.

Anyone up for Syriana today?
