Insomnia Sufferers Unite!!!
I hate this shit. So, last night, I had a horrible night's sleep. Woke up no less than 15 times, didn't get more than an hour stretch uninterrupted and woke up feeling like Pure, Grade A Shit. I'm tired all freakin day, come home and at about 8:00 p.m., my eyes are heavy so I go lay down (which is unheard of for me at that hour). It's 11:30, I'm wide awake. It seems as if the minute I lay down, I have all the energy in the world. I probably burned about 300 calories in all the tossing and turning I did in the past 3 hours.

Anyone have any good insomnia remedies? This lack of sleep is turning me into a major bitch.

(BTW, cats are screwing outside my window right now and it sounds like a little kid saying, "Oooowwww!" over and over again. It's freaking me right on out in my already delirious state.)

1. I'm still up too, so obviously do NOT have the answer....
don't do sleeping pills. Some people swear by those white noise machines.

3. I've got some of the organic kind...
But I'm already kinda jumpy and they'll make me much too paranoid and it's a bit late for me to be gorging myself on Cheetos.

6. So true...

Orange fingertips are not a good look...not at all.

*Edited because apparently, my brain is falling asleep before the rest of me is.

5. After I got a fan..
I find I can sleep a lot better. Not great, but better. Funny thing- I can fall asleep on the couch no problem, but it's a different story trying to sleep in my bed.

7. I used to swear by the fan...
Unfortunately, the spousal unit over here couldn't disagree more. :(
