Heh, i've been up since yesterday, not tired enough to want to sleep, yet not alive enough to function at any sort of useful level. Try staying awake all day and THEN trying to sleep. I guarantee you, you'll sleep!

It must have been something in the air... I was up to 3:30AM last night for no damned good reason. Got up at 7:20 AM - I feel like shit today.

^ I use a shot of straight Crown.

I suffer from sleep apnea. It doesn't matter if I sleep or not, I always walk around in a daze. I have a breathing machine, but if I have any sort of trouble breathing, I can't use it. Sinus problems keep me stopped up most of the time, so I finally gave up on the machine. I need to try to break it back out, but I just won't. Maybe I'm too sleepy (lazy) to do it.

Seriously.

WTF?


I've been up since 4:40am. Got to sleep at midnightish.

I haven't been able to sleep without benadryl for like two weeks.




:: shoots self in the face ::

Seriously, Do you just lay here tired and still nmothing. Is your mind raceing through a million thoughts? Are you worried about something that durring the day does not seem like a big deal? I suffer from this from time to time. My wife seems to like the stuff that tylenol make. Sleepy Time I think is what its called... works on her

Good luck. Insomnia SUCKS!!! I know... :(

Ha - Gargoyles. Haven't seen that in AGES.

That said, I wouldn't say I 'suffer' from insomnia. I often go 3-4 hours of sleep a night, that's it.

That said, when I do try to put myself out, melatonin (sp?) helps me. Take it about an hour before you plan to crash.

Masturbation is key.

Oh... wait... you're a girl. Sorry.


WTF girls probably do it almost as much as men do, you just don't hear about it :sarcasm:


As far as insomnia goes, I've been kinda like that since I moved from Washington a bit over a month ago. I was still stuck on PST time, but I was going to bed at 6am EST and tossing and turning to 8am and then sleeping to 1pm or so. I am still having a very hard time getting to sleep, I have to force myself to go to bed before 3am EST. Oh, and masturbation does help a little bit, at least for me anyway, but I usually get very weird dreams afterward :aigo:

Things that get me sleepy: warm milk (preferably in hot chocolate), reading in a hot bathtub full of lavendar bubble bath (lavendar is very good for causing drowsiness I've noticed)

I had real insomnia a couple years back and tried a lot of the OTC sleep meds, and they usually only worked for one or 2 nights and then I can't sleep again :(

I may be lookng into Lunesta soon
