Who else can't sleep?

[Haole Girl]

It's really not good when I mess up my sleep schedule.

*sigh*

[HEyHEY]

1. Can't sleep? I'm almost done a bottle of Jameson and going to a party

As soon as my homeboy, Jon, finishes his shower.

[Haole Girl]

3. A bottle... a whole bottle?

Ugh.. I hope you're kidding... not all by yourself I hope!

[HEyHEY]

4. By myself and no, I'm not even drunk

I started at 6:30 and have been sipping and taking it slow.

[Haole Girl]

7. That is a very high tolerance for alcohol!

But I know Canadians can hold their liquor. ;-)

[HEyHEY]

12. well, it is almost six hours, right and it's just 26 ounces. Or a "Twixer" up here

Plus, holiday here tomorrow!

[Haole Girl]

14. Happy Civic Holiday!

Looked it up... have no idea what it means, but have a good one! :hi:

[DesertFlower]

2. i went to bed about an hour ago. watched tv

for 1/2 hour and i can't sleep -- so here i am. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

5. I went to bed and closed my eyes.. and then

toss and turned. I even took a very powerful muscle relaxer around 9pm. It's no use. I've messed up my sleep schedule.

Hope you don't have to be at work early in the morning, as I do.

[DesertFlower]

11. i take klonopin and flexeril

for sleep. i don't think they work anymore.

don't have to work. i remember when i did and couldn't sleep, i'd feel so miserable all day at work.

[Haole Girl]

17. Do you get insomnia a lot?

I hope I'm not pestering you.

[DesertFlower]

34. yes. i have chronic fatigue syndrome and

even though i'm tired many times i can't sleep. started taking klonopin and flexeril 17 years ago. i was taking 3 mg of each and i've weaned myself down to 1 mg. of each. i'm addicted and they don't work anymore -- i have to get off of them slowly. doc said the flexeril is not a big problem but to be very careful with the klonopin.

before the CFS i had trouble sleeping. i lived in new york and my upstairs neighbors walked like horses. i used to take 5 mg. of valium back then for the sleep.

have you tried some of the herbal sleep aids? they have something called "silent night" and things with hops are supposed to work. there's a homeopathic one called "calms forte". they work for most people but didn't for me.

[Haole Girl]

37. I'm sorry to hear you have that...

it sounds very frustrating from what I've read.

Yes, I've tried many herbal remedies. The only thing that has ever worked for my insomnia is to have a very (and I mean VERY) strict sleep regiment. When I fail to follow it to the letter (meaning, the same schedule every single night) it messes me up- big time. :-( This has been a challenge in the airline industry... with frequently changing shifts!! Doesn't help that I worked night shift for about 5 years recently.

Hope we both get some sleep soon! :

[DesertFlower]

42. i keep the same sleep regimen,

but it doesn't help. sometimes i'm asleep by 10:45 -- other times it's like tonight.

yes, i've had this miserable illness for 20 years and it's gotten very bad. i'm going to see a homeopath this week. maybe he can help.

shift work is rough. it's not good for the body, but you've got to make a living.

back in new york i worked 5-midnight for a few months. it was miserable. i couldn't sleep when i got home and the next day it seemed like i couldn't get much done before it was time to go to work again.

[Haole Girl]

47. I'm going to go back and lie and bed...

and try to think of pleasant thoughts. Even if I am still awake at dawn!

Good night (morning, really) & thanks for keeping me company. Hope you get to sleep soon. :hug:

[DesertFlower]

48. good night.

i hope you get some sleep.

[crimsonblue]

6. me

[Haole Girl]

8. Did you sleep in too late Sunday, too?

:hi:

[crimsonblue]

9. no

[Haole Girl]

10. What's up?

You don't have to answer that, if you don't want to.

[crimsonblue]

13. awake

[Haole Girl]

15. ok

[crimsonblue]

16. you?

[Haole Girl]

18. Stayed up too late... sick from drinking...

last night. Slept until noon. Basically, my body just can't go to sleep until I've been awake at least 14 hours... never has been.

[crimsonblue]

19. ouch

[Haole Girl]

20. Another hour or so & I should be able to sleep

But tomorrow will be hell at work... Mondays always are anyway.

[crimsonblue]

22. mondays......................

[Haole Girl]

25. Mondays suck, alright

All day tomorrow (well, today, actually) people will be grumpy. And the ones that aren't will be firing away at me, and will be quick to say, "Well it's Monday."

[crimsonblue]

27. fuckers

[Haole Girl]

29. Why are you limiting all your...

replies in threads to one word? Just curious.

[crimsonblue]

30. stalker?

[Haole Girl]

31. Huh?

:shrug:

[crimsonblue]

32. dunno

[Haole Girl]

33. You know what?

I don't understand this. But I really don't care.

Whatever.

[crimsonblue]

35. cool

[Haole Girl]

38. No

[crimsonblue]

39. hot?

[Haole Girl]

40. cold?

[crimsonblue]

41. definately

[Haole Girl]

43. End.

[crimsonblue]

44. defeat

[Haole Girl]

45. Whatever

[crimsonblue]

46. goodbye

[Ellen Forradalom]

21. Me

My beloved went home after a six week visit. Bed's entirely too empty. Don't like that.

[Haole Girl]

23. Sorry to hear that...

Sometimes putting a bunch of pillows on the other side of the bed helps a little... or a cat or two! :hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

28. My dog is providing the warm body

God bless that crazy beast. He's a godsend in times like this.

[DesertFlower]

36. my husband has sleep apnea.

sleeps with a mask. we've had separate bedrooms for years. i wouldn't be able to sleep with anyone in my bed except my cat. he gets pissed and leaves because i toss around so much. he doesn't like to be disturbed when he's sleeping. sometimes he sleeps in my closet -- sometimes under my bed.

[Ellen Forradalom]

51. My mother too

has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP.

Every relationship is different.

I got awful used to having him close to me awfully quick. Getting unused will take a bit longer.

[sakabatou]

24. Me!

I really need hot milk, cinnamon and honey.

[Haole Girl]

26. That sounds good about now

Hope you find some!

[arcadian]

49. Right here.

[Skittles]

52. you want I should kick your ass, KC2?

That will kick my ass today. :-(
