I am hoping that you get some sleep! Please PM me, maybe I can help you with some ideas that may help.

If this is a long-standing issue, it is probably time to go to the doctors. Find out if there is a medical reason for you not sleeping. Or help you out TEMPORARILY to get back on track with your sleep schedule!

lately it has been my dreams that wake me up. I sleep about 5 hours then get woke up by a bad dream. Then I get back to sleep about 30 minutes later; 2 hours after that another dream then I can't get back to sleep at all. Don't wanna take meds yet.

This has been going on for a good 15 years now.

I know what you are going through. My insomnia problems started fifteen years ago with my knee injury. Not a short-term thing that I (or you) have suffered through.

My heart goes out to you!

BUMP!

As you can tell, I have started my all-night marathons with no sleep. It is surprising considering that besides the xanax I have for sleep, I have pain medication for my friggin "good" knee I hurt when my bad knee gave out three weeks ago.

UGH!!! Gotta get this fixed! Starting to intefere with school again!


AOX81 - How are you doing? Haven't heard anything since you said you should sleep this weekend. I hope that means you have gotten some sleep!!!

I was out in Vegas over the weekend so I didn't plan on getting much sleep anyway.

I haven't been able to sleep much since I got home. I hurt my shoulder last Wednesday and that's just adding to my sleepless nights. I went to the doctor today and he gave me some painkillers...hopefully that will knock my ass out!

Yup..Lately, I've been going to sleep around 3-4am for no reason at all.

The other night, I drank some tea, and that knocked me out.

I actually ended up sleeping pretty well last night.

Better living through drugs.

Tom-

I do just that, and many other things to help me sleep at night. Unfortunately, I am not like you, my bf or even my dog...head hits the pillow and BAM asleep. So yes, I am up at all hours (obviously) watching infomercials and worthless TV. Hopefully, settling down by 4 or 5 am for a few hours of sleep.

Believe me, if there was an easier solution to this problem I would love to have it. But there isn't. So, please understand....not everyone has that magical ability to just fall asleep.....but we can still wish that something will do just that.

Off my soapbox, and back to my infomercials.


Meredith


AOX81 -> I hope that you are still sleeping better!

God, what I wouldnt give to be able to do that.

My problem is that my natural circadian rhythm clock runs about 27/28 hours. Each night I am up a little later and later and later.

I dont consume an ounce of caffiene past 3PM and it still hasnt changed. I never go to bed till about 4AM.
