Sucks.

That is all.

I am lucky, never had it, and hopefully never will. My wife has it, and I think it is 99% mental, and 1% physical.  She starts thinking about stuff, then mulls it over all night.

I never used to.

Life adds all sorts of 'enjoyment' at times that keeps the brain active.

Maybe it will take some of it away soon.   :-\

I usually sleep with the tube on.

If I don't I wake up...hell I wake up anyway after about 4 hours.

I set mine to turn off after an hour or so.

If I leave it on, it'll wake me up.
Woke up one time to the scene in Good Fellas where Danny DeVito and some other schmuck are getting beaten nearly to death and then buried.
That was disturbing.  :-\

Glass of wine?
Couple shots of Jager?  dr::

I do my obligatory share of drinking.  ;)

I think I just need to work more.

If I'm really busy in the shop and do long days I have better luck, like yesterday.

Did 10 hrs in the shop, a couple of hours shoveling snow, and helping with Zeke (T's back is bothering her)

Slept like a baby for 6 1/2 hours.

i spank it... ;D


actually i've been having a lot of trouble sleeping for the past 3 months or so. i don't think i've slept more than 3 hrs straight in a very long time. i just keep waking up, rolling over, waiting about 15-20 min and then falling asleep again.

my eye is also twitching like a beast. i blame work.


Life, alas is very drear. Up with the glass and down with the beer!

Seriously, when i am 800years old i want to rock like Lemmy! it is a religion that requires lots of determination, drugs, and Marshall stacks.

Stress causes me to stay up.  Once I'm in bed I don't have trouble sleeping.

I also have problems with small time zone changes (like West coast - East coast).  If it's a huge change, like going to Singapore or something, then I force myself to adapt right away.  But if it's just a little change, I stay up late at night on California time, then have to get up early on East coast time. :P

one more on the insomnia bus...

I tried melatonin, nyquil, even benadryl (as recommended by my physician cousin and a pharmacist friend of mine).

drinking myself blind doesn't work.

so I've sorta resigned myself to it. less stress wouldn't hurt, though.
