I don't often suffer from insomnia - I'm usually the other way (I love my bed) but every couple of years I get bad bouts of it.

Right now I'm so tired I could cry for sleep but my mind's too active

Someone please cure or bore me.

You've come to the right place.

I did not sleep at all on Sunday night not a wink
(throwing up too much )

I get insomnia when it is full moon or the night before my I get my period

retina said:

and you're the man for the job

I do hope so

retina said:

Bragging again?

nilegettolrahc said:

that's interesting. I wish I could put it down to moon cycles though but I will see whether that has an effect.

I am ok mostly but when this happens there doesn't seem to be anything I can do except ride it out or try to over-tire myself during the day. For the past 2-3 weeks I've been averaging 3-4 hours sleep a night ... I'm getting to the stage where it's not enough so I'm hoping I'm coming to the end of it.

I'm wide awake right now but my body feels tired ... and there's nothing I can do about it

I can let her read the final paper I recently handed in to get my university degree. My grandma and my aunt asked to read it and I gave them a copy each, but so far (after a few weeks) these ladies, who have nothing to do during the day, have yet to get through it.

Me & Ambien CR were buds last night but it left feeling like shit this morning...
Damn drugs..

Yes, insomnia sucks. My recent bout of it seemed to make an endless night of my mind racing. At first I layed there and thought:

"That rerun of Rawhide was a nice rarity to see. Late night TV has so many lackluster options, it's neat to find something good - even if it is 2:30 in the morning. Rawhide, hmm... that rhymes with tide. That reminds me, I need to get laundry soap. Gee, what kind should I buy next? I really like the scent of Gain, but does it really get things as clean and bright as Tide? I've been using Tide since about 1992. What music was I listening to in 1992? Remember Vanilla Ice? I wonder if he ever used Tide? What other words start with the letter T? Do you think tea stains can be gotten out... not that I have any. I bet if I used Tide they'd come out..."

All of that whipped through my mind in a span of all of 5 minutes... and that was just part of it! Then I realized what was keeping me up. Those damn sheets! They are too rigid or something! You barely move and all you hear is "crinkle, crinkle." Damn, what's the thread count on these? I swear I usually buy between 250 and 300 thread count. I wonder if these were a gift from my mother or something. "Crinkle, crinkle." Oh shit, there it goes again...

I'll never get too sleep!

That's why you are supposed to sleep in til noon

jerseykrs said:

Natisse said:

Exactly Natisse!!
I had to work today, same for tomorrow!!

Heh join the club I hardly ever sleep unless I am majorly dragin ass and that is usually after atleast 3 days of hardly sleeping... ah well such is life I guess...I shall sleep when I am dead.

Drink Camomile tea or Warm Milk and Masturbate or have SEX...

Zelaira said:

actually sex gives me insomnia, but masturbation usually works - I fall asleep before I am even finished usually

nilegettolrahc said:

Now that's just not right!

JediTodd said:

It's just conditioning I guess, it's become my way of getting to sleep

They are right. Sex will do it every time. Some of my deepest sleeps have been after sex.

Spats said:

Was it sex with your right or left hand that put you to sleep the fastest....

I managed 2 hours sleep and I'm up again.

Unfortunately I ran out of posts so I have been waiting for the org clock to strike 12 ... sad but true

I wanna sleep

Reincarnate said:

oh sweetie hope you're ok

Reincarnate said:

I am sooo sorry to hear that u only got 2 hrs of sleep. Have u talked to the dr about this?
I did mine because a medication she gave me is causing some of my insomnia. She gave me samples of Ambien CR.
Sometimes Insomnia can be a major health issue...

Well I hate to admit it...but I lay in bed and stare at the TV.
I usually will fall asleep within the hour.
If I DONT have the TV on...my mind will go and go ALL night
and I wont sleep at all!!

shayblackfeather said:

What is going on with us???
Anybody got a cure besides TV to turn our minds quiet so we can sleep??

I am usually a pretty good sleeper myself...but last night I tossed and turned and finally got out of bed at 430am to go to work....
