I'm three hours behind you, but feel your frustration, and I sometimes have insomnia. I've found that the best thing to to is just get up, read, watching something on TV, visit DU, anything besides laying in bed feeling frustrated that I can't sleep. It usually works, and after half an hour to an hour, I'm finally able to go to sleep. Hope you can too, bertha.

Scott Turow is riveting. But right now, after missing work all last week with a stupid sinus/ear infection, I would rather sleep.
thanks for the ideas. maybe some tv. :hi:

We're just making the segue from Mountain Time (Salt Lake City) to Pacific Time (Portland) and we're both a bit buzzy headed from flying home after our vacation.
My husband is the insomniac, and now that he's got his (FREE) four tablets of Lunesta sleep medicine, he F*in' won't even try them! So it's 12 midnight, local time, and I have no idea how long he'll be sitting here next to me and looking at his email.
I better get to bed, 'though. I have to go to the post office tomorrow and pick up the mail around 7:30 AM. It's my job...
Good night and good luck!
Sweet dreams! (Mine were erotic last night, but that's another story... estrogen does it every time!)

11. I don't have anything right now . |
|
I will be fine . Its health and emotional stress . No matter if I took the Xanax or anything - the problem would still be there . I have my own ways of coping : listening to music , writing and prayer .

Poor thing! You really are suffering!
Have been having insomnia over the last week...probably holiday related. And I feel for you re: hives. Get them every few weeks due to some itty-bitty spider that lives here in central CA. Am terribly allergic to it. Have been using two teaspoons of liquid benedryl the last couple of times this has happened...really helps a lot and works quickly.
Hope you feel better quickly!

17. It's quarter after three here and I just woke up like that |
|
this probably doesn't qualify as insomnia. Regardless, I'm gonna try to go to bed and just rest. Hopefullly I will drift back off. I was dreaming in World of Warcraft and it got really close or somethingx(. I'll cuddle my doggy before I shuffle back to bed. Good luck to the rest of you. I hope everybody is happily slumbering.

A four-hour nap earlier kinda blew any shot at normal circadian rhythms.
But I took a Tylenol PM a bit ago, so...
