Sleep.

Me and sleep ain't exactly on speaking terms. Outside influences have driven us apart.

Outside influences are about to get thier asses handed to em.
Ditto. I think it's all the meds I'm on trying to deal with allergies/nasal drippage & resulting cough. I'm sick of it. SICK OF IT.

Melatonin doesn't seem to work for me. Diphenhydramine doesn't affect me. If drink, I seem to sleep for about 3-4 hours and then wake up for a couple hours... usually falling back asleep about the time I need to get up. If I don't get a solid night of rest soon, I'm gonna ask a friend for a Lunesta to hopefully reset my cycle.

like to think,ive conquered it
used to think,15 odd years ago
what on earth would i do when
1,older age crept in
2, accompanied with sleepless nights etc etc

then the internet came,with something called LPSG,as well as
however
dont give a f'ck now

ie
conquered yes
by what i felt just developed within me over time,a 2 sleeps system
ie 2
GET TWO DECENT SLEEPS in during a night
and DONT worry/stress if it/esp the 2nd sleep doesent come,or comes real late

pisses me off when i read some smartarse BSproffessional sleep expert tried to say 'interupted sleep'can shorten ones life,especially eklderly
BULLSHIT,i am living proof

and
brother-in-law,similar age,said he read somewhere where this sort of thing works,is helpful,to some
get up,make a cuppa etc

i honestly regret the myriad of sleepless nights suffered/endured in my working life
my own fault
since feel/know,it was self worry caused
i was too scared of 'missing out/being late for work' for many many years
stupid/foolish me
due/desertvea cuppa now ha'1-30 am

ps
THANKS TNJ

Wish I had a better relationship with sleep. Could be related to some of my other mental struggles, issues or of the like.
I usually can get to sleep due to exhaustion, but I don’t stay asleep. Luckily today I don’t have to work, but I’ll be up early as my lady has to. It’s a rarity that I can get back to sleep once I’m awake & it’s morning…

Over the past several years I’ve look at everything as if it is a puzzle needing to be examined and dissected.

My sleep has been an on again off again issue over say the past ten years. I have found a few morsels of truth that I use to get me to a good place over all but there are still times when the world just wants to fuck with me I think.

my do and don’t are:

A single piece of chocolate about 20 minutes before bed is fine but don’t be a fuckin idiot and eat ten. ( small burst of carbs will help put me out)

Don’t overload working my hands during the day working on shit. They’ll ache like hell all night.

Don’t binge watch anything serious or intense leading up to sleep because I’ll dream it all night. I’ve never tried it but I would love to try that with very intense porn. I’m curious what my mind would do with it.

If I had a bad night the night before don’t tense up about it before I go to bed. I can get into a rut thinking “ oh fuck here we go again”.

I’m an old sob, so if I wake up 50 times to pee, then purposely keep my mind blank. Don’t do something stupid like wonder what was that I just heard.

I quit cokes so that’s not an issue any more. It was but it’s better now.

I generally try to get myself in a good place mentally/emotionally before heading out. Things can get pretty fucked up and we all have our ghosts but I try to realize I’m pretty damn lucky generally speaking. Life may not be exactly as I like but it’s better than so many out there. Home is my happy place and if things start to go splat I can usually get things right in a day or two.

for me a peaceful mind is the key
