you have it?
you know a cure?
tell me about your sleep issues.

i want you to post so that i can then post a bigarse whine and not feel guilty.
Usually I can't ever get into a regular sleep pattern for any length of time and I tend to sleep only when I'm exhausted.At the moment the painkillers I have to take (Tramadol Hydrochloride) are giving me the best sleep I've had in ages and I don't wake up feeling groggy.
I don't recommend breaking your arm to get hold of some though!

I've had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. I wake up easily and it takes me anywhere from 1 hour to several hours to go back to sleep, if at all. I also eat well, exercise... nothing does it for me. The only sure-fire way to fall asleep for me and get a full night's sleep is if I smoke a joint before two or three hours before going to bed. That works almost everytime.

Oh well. :(

Sometimes, like this morning, I awaken at about 3:00 AM and cannot go back to sleep. This did not used to be the case and it started when I got Lyme disease. My dreams are vivid but usually interesting or funny rather than nightmares. The other night I dreamed I found a rattlesnake loose in the house. That's probably due to the fact that we have had a lot of rattlesnakes around here lately. I was able to go to sleep after awakening with that dream but kept having dreams about how I was going to capture and remove the snake.

i can't wank left handed.
i've tried.

breaking my right arm would be very bad!
When you don't have any alternative you discover skills you didn't think you had.After a few days of no orgasms the need for one will suddenly give your left hand new powers.
If it didn't work for you I'm sure you'd have no shortage of volunteers to help you out.... :smile:

I'm quite introverted and I think about shit all the time. This keeps me awake at night. Unless I'm drunk, then I fall asleep straight away. One time I even fell asleep with all my clothes and my shoes still on. That's when you know you're pissed :tongue:

But...I just stay awake writing stuff down all night til I go beddy byes...might try some herbal remedies? I dunno. Also, after sex I love to fall asleep next the one I'm with but I haven't been with anyone for the longest time. *sigh*

Basically I fall asleep when I exhaust myself. Be it with booze, sex or staying awake til the body demands rest. Not ideal, but what is?

Funny thing, booze has the opposite effect on me, it prevents me from sleeping (worst then usual, even), even if I mix it with weed.

Oh, how I would kill to have uninterrupted nights of sleep. :tired: Going to bed is a chore because of this.

Weed helps me fall asleep. If I don't smoke I have a lot of trouble falling asleep. Actually I don't really sleep that much now anyway. I usually don't sleep for more than 6 hours a night sometimes I get a nice full 8 hours.

i think i hate you :mad:

:bigarse whine:

i walk at least 2 hours/day
i don't drink caffine
i don't eat junk
i have a warm bath, drink a relaxing herbal tea, go to bed at midnight...then 3-4am, every frickin' morning! bad dreams wake me up and there's no getting back to sleep.

i'm starting to get a little homicidal over this!

I deal with insomnia on a regular basis. What happens oddly enough (or at least to me) is the more you are deprived of sleep the more difficult it becomes to fall asleep. It is as if your body has momentarily forgotten how to go to sleep.

What you described doesn't sound like difficulty going to sleep, but staying asleep. Maybe something in your real life is causing the nightmares.

You've said you're apprehensive about taking sleep aids. My doctor once prescribed one for me that works short term (4hrs. instead of 8). I don't recall the name, but maybe something like that might help you.

Good luck.

i have had that sometimes.
part of your brain wakes up slower, so you're still dreaming sounds when you're awake?
