I always wear earplugs, the fan WAS on and I AM on the couch

I'm @ Phillip Island, this is the last night here

Ohhh ...

you'll sleep well when you get home

I read this as 'insomniacs suck monkey balls'. I was thinking Chinese medicine, alternative treatments, if it works then fair dues.

This has been your best holiday ever, I can tell.

Last year's was almost as good. In fact, side by side, the two holidays would be virtually indistinguishable. I said "never again!" I think I said exactly the same thing then too

Where are you?

Satan woke me up to torture some children, now that its done I can't sleep

Fauxie said:

I would be willing to try it!

I better not fall asleep on this couch, I have no undies on

Get some sleeping pills from your doctor.

ZombieKitten said:

aww char, i'm sorry. good to hear from you though!! where is phillip island? you guys must be taking a nice long holiday. i'm jealous.

That's horrible!

Snoring!! How did evolution not weed that out?

I can hear it through walls, floors, ceilings, earplugs, it resonates in my pillow.

I really hate that it's the non-snorers who have to do something about it--sleeping pills, earplugs, noise machines etc.

I'm a light sleeper, though, I can take a small part of the blame I suppose

Go to bed an hour earlier

Plug in the earplugs

Read a book

Fall asleep (well before your hubby comes upstairs to bed)

Voila! you should be in a deep sleep by the time he falls asleep...

The idea of someone monkeying with my balls will make me lose sleep.

how come you have all the right things to say?

At home I sleep in my own bed in my own room on my own only 9 more hours and I will be reunited with my bed! Hurrah

If I have to choose between going into work like a zombie because I never slept the night before, or going into work with a hangover, I'll opt for the hangover hands down. No sleep sucks ass. Make yourself several martinis and get plastered. You'll sleep like a baby.

insomnia should be my middle name.

different things work for different people. look into some help topics about it.
and let me now which one works for you...maybe you can find one for me too.

on the third night of my holiday I took 2 phenurgen, but the next morning I slept until past 11am

Get absolutely hammered. Like, totally smashed.

You'll pass out like a baby. Of course, you'll also piss your pants while you're asleep but the thing to remember is you'll be getting a good night's sleep!

I had 4 stubbies I reckon that is why I couldn't sleep!

I slept 12 hours straight!

Earplugs might require a very long while getting used to. For most people they hurt like hell in the beginning, often because people aren't accustomed to inserting them the right way. You can only get used to it, but they work in the ed. They just aren't a very good temporary solution, in my opinion. Women should wear size "S" anyway, do not even try other sizes.

Hell, I'm sitting here right now with those things in my ears. After spending a-year-and-a-half in my previous apartment from hell, there's nothing I'd value more than silence.

I am on the lookout for a good set of earplugs, I used to be able to get these soft yellow ones, rubber, with 3 flanges, SOOOO good and comfortable.

ZombieKitten said:

Earplugs help, but they bug me too. Sometimes it hurts to roll onto or off of my side because the plug on the pillow changes the pressure in my ear too fast.

Sometimes I wear one--lie on my right side with an earplug in the left ear.

Last night my neighbor was politely asking about a mystery noise coming from my place, then she proceeded to watch a very loud movie until 11:30

I sometimes use those Bose noise cancelling headphones when I'm awake--reading for example. They definitely let sound through, but they cut the rumble a lot. It makes noise less intrusive & more bearable. And if you're listening to music through them, almost nothing else cuts through.
