Insomnia

Ah, so here I am at 7 in the morning and wide awake. Yesterday I slept about five hours in the evening so I guess that is all my body needed. Im not going to fight it anymore or even try to figure it out. I'll sleep when I need to sleep and make what I can out of it.

Hey there!! I'm sorry you've been hving trouble sleeping!! I woke a few hours ago, unable to go back to sleep. It's strange for me, but my mind was racing so I know why I can't sleep.

So, we are up together!

Big hugs, Suzee

Thanks Suzee. I slept the day away again which is okay! If youre having racing thoughts, which in part is what started my sleep problems, jump on that right away. Hugs back and best wish's!

In an hour I will have been up for 24 after only getting three the day before. I mean up, like really up! Three doctors apps Thursday including epidural in my neck, two trips to pharmacy, etc. Thank goodness my Aunt drives me around, but even she zonked on me, and the last trip was in my powerchair. Sleep? What is that again?

Hey, at least I got my feet wet!

Ikr? Im not even gonna worry about not sleeping or sleeping too much anymore. I hope someday it goes away but for now, everythings just gonna have to revolve around my erratic sleep schedule.

Hey W Fox, I know how exactly how you feel. I've had insomnia pretty bad for the last five years or so, although it's been getting better. If you're interested, http://onlineceucredit.om/edu/social-work-ceus-sd has some good advice for overcoming insomnia. I learned that I subconsciously associated my bed with sleeplessness, and sleeping somewhere else has actually helped. Might be worth a shot? I think not stressing about it will also help too. Good luck! I'll be thinking about you.

I feel the exact same way!! After trying so hard so many times over I finally caved, and went with the body who sometimes goes along with the mind as well leading to an hour or so of much needed rest whenever it comes.

Heh, I stopped stressing about the insomnia and hypersomnia and now my sleep schedule is back on track. I wholly agree, it was a mind over matter deal. I havent felt this good in a long while.

Hope you all are doing well and sweet dreams.
