My cat never believes I should sleep anyway, so I decided to do things his way tonight. I'm not seeing the appeal in it, truthfully.

HAHA I have a dog and all he does is sleep I am so jealous so I go and wake his butt up ... he might as well be awake with me

Aye.. I'm with you on that. For me it's like my body is tired, but my mind is wide awake ready for any and everything.. and yea. like you two i envy my wiener dog.. He can fall asleep anytime anywhere.. Then in the morning he just jumps up and down on me till i wake up lol..

I usually have a lot of trouble sleeping. Last night I was really upset and crying and having a horrible time trying to sleep. Suddenly, I just calmed myself down, tried to blank my mind (which is nearly impossible), and then I focused on nothing but Barack Obama. I don't know why I chose him; he was just the first thing that came to mind (probably because I spent a few good hours on PunditKitchen before bed). PunditKitchen is a political comedy site, so I had good associations with Barack. I just kept his picture in my mind, and told myself a story of what lead to the picture. I was asleep within minutes.

lol I don't know if thinking of Barack Obama will help you, but maybe focusing on the first neutral or good image that pops into your head will help you sleep.

If not, start a Fight Club? lol I wish you the best of luck in conquering insomnia.

another old post, sigh

i was up all night, this time reading of all things..go figure???

but usually three 2 four hours a night per night has been this way 4ever unless I use some tater juice and drugs cause the juice alone will not do it nope just get those same hours of sleep...

But will say this right before I hit the skids and sliped was up for four days and nights straight with no drugs involved and things got really weird and strange and it took a whole lot of stuff to finaly make me crap out and it was only for three hours


whew damm near didn't make it through, but did, found this place and now ever1 gets 2 put up with me... now aint that just a bummer...................

To bad you can't switch your life over to the dark side and just work at night when your not sleeping anyway.

I have problems sleeping regularly. My body is usually tired but my mind is wide awake and won't allow me to sleep. After a few nights of this I get exhausted, irritable (which my husband objects to, and I don't blame him) and generally miserable. Maybe once in a while I'll sleep all night, but that's very rare.
I've tried all sorts of things, but nothing has worked yet. I'd be glad of any ideas to end this problem

i dont sleep either, and it sucks, i usually read all night let the dog out a couple of times then 400am throw the husbands lunch together make coffee take my meds wattch tv for awhile then i m tired all day, but then night comes again and it is the same cycle i hate it!

this post is FROM MAY....I'm sure she's had a few hours sleep since then! CRIPES!!

ARRGGHH!!
