Insomnia rears its ugly head, once again. It’s has been three nights in a row that I have woken up in the middle of the night to a chattering churning mind running through all matter of worries. These discourses, though unnecessary to the conscious mind, seem of the utmost importance to the drowsy one as it chases away sleep in a never-ending spiral of doubt. The minutes tick by as I try to cajole it back to sleep until not one, but two hours have past when finally exhausted it ceases its endless ramblings allowing me the precious few hours that are left to fall in a dream laden sleep. Waking is an almost torturous hell after that. All I want to do is sleep through the bloody alarm. But no it’s off to work* where copious amount of caffeine are ingested so that I can make it through the day without conking out at my desk and then back home where late at night the cycle repeats itself, over and over again.
Would someone be so kind as to bonk me over the head with a 2 by 4 this evening? Please.
*Which I'm grateful for.
*hugs* I hope the worries subside and stop stealing your sleep!
Passing thought - I stopped drinking anything with caffeine in it after 12:00 (lunch) and I now sleep SO much better. It was hard the first week to not go for my lovely caffeine but it was worth it. Maybe that might help you too? Unless you don't drink it later in the day and then the advice is meaningless...

Hope it gets better for ya'! :)

Posted by: munin on Julio 2, 2003 09:03 PMSometimes, seems like the only way to get a good nites sleep would be a baseball bat or 2 by 4.
have tried sleeping pills by prescription and everything herbal on market and most sleeping aids at the drug store, almost nothing works. I dont remember the last time I slept all nite.
I dont eat after 7 pm and still wake up 2 or 3 three hours after taking sleeping pills. any suggestions?
