Lounge insomniacs, check in!
It's a bad one tonight. I can't envision going back to bed to try again for a couple more hours... x(

1. Haven't slept in almost three days now.
Going to try again soon, but I doubt I'll have any luck. Last week was just the opposite. I slept about 10 hours a day, more than twice what I usually sleep. Guess my body got all the rest it needed for awhile last week. :)

4. Actually, I'm up early
because I'm heading for the river to go rowing.

But I do sympathize with you. I've had many a sleepless nights. It's a tough cycle to get out of.

Hope your day goes well and that you'll be able to get some well needed and deserved rest tonight.

5. That sounds pretty cool.


Much cooler than the BS I have to do today. Be safe out on the water today. :hi:

7. Oh, thank you!
I love rowing in the mornings - it's so quiet - so peaceful. All you hear is the boat swooshing through the water, the sounds of the blades dropping and pushing the water. Ahhhhh . . .

Gotta go. Wishing you a great day! :hi:

6. I didn't sleep at all.
When I saw that it was 5:30 and I hadn't slept yet, I thought "What the hell" and just got up. I do this at least twice a week. That's all right; I'll be sound asleep by 10:00 tonight and I'll probably fall asleep at acupuncture this afternoon. (I swear that's the only place I get uninterrupted sleep).

11. The times that I've tried it....
I hyperventilated. I'm afraid I'm not the "laid back" type. When I'm told to concentrate on my breathing, it interrupts my breathing "rhythm". When I concentrate on my heartbeat, my heart starts to gallop. I think I'm hopeless.
