nothing really
Some of you have asked if I’m down. Thanks for the concern, I’m really not, I just haven’t been sleeping, I think it’s been three nights now that I’ve only slept a couple of hours each night. You’ve probably seen my dirty little footprints roaming your sites when I get tired of staring at the ceiling…
When I’m tired my self deprecating humor gets the best of me and I get very sarcastic…
So that’s all that’s going on with me… I thought not drinking caffeine would make me sleep better… maybe I’m just adjusting. Have a great night and thanks for all of the warm fuzzies.
In the mean time while I can’t sleep I’ve been making some really interesting playlists on my itunes… that’s gotta be worth something. Ang
*************************************EDIT
Okay, I’ve been up since two… I took a Tylonol PM why isn’t it working. I’ve been staring at the ceiling trying to avoid Doing anything… GRRR…

try ambian . what yr was that pic ?
Sorry to hear you’ve been out of synch and not sleeping. I knew there was a reason I’ve never seriously given up the caffiene! LOL
Before you go with an Ambien or other “heavy duty” sleep med, try the “simply sleep” over the counter drug. It’s literally Tylenol PM without the Tylenol. I use it on flights when I need help drifting off; and it works pretty well without being groggy or anything later.
I’m trying to make the rounds before we go out & eat Chinese food with Spying_Mom and PowerFox75. We need a “grown-ups” dinner… if only to get ourselves girded up for the next round of drama! LOL
let me hear these songlists you speak of, ’72. can I call you ’72?
Not being able to sleep is not much fun… I hope you get some Z’s soon. I have the opposite problem these days… I can not seem to stay awake!
Stop the self depreciating stuff. I don’t like people saying bad things about themselves, not even if it themselves.
I hear a lot of people say coffee keeps them up, strangly it helps me relax. By the way I don’t mind the dirty little footprints.
I hate it when I can’t sleep. I get restless legs sometimes and then I have to get out of bed. It drives you crazy. So I try not to drink any coffee,soda, or tea before bed. If I can’t sleep I take one of my adivan and I’m out. I have them because I had problems with panic attacks for many many years. They are under control now by taking Celexa. But sometimes when my nerves get really bad I need to take a adivan to help. Hope you can get to sleep soon. That’s no fun stairing at the ceiling.
your not sleeping cuz you cut out the crack, try taking one benedryl this to shall pass
Tylenol PM works for me. Hope you get some sleep soon!
Good night Ang,,,go back to my post and see if you can answer a question! I want to edit them in.
hope you can get some sleep soon sweetie….i know what it’s like to not be able to sleep
A glass of wine – 3 tylenol pm’s – thats my trick during my night shift agony.
I think its your md…you will feel tons better soon….I am positive about that!
Hope you have a great week-end!
My remedy is 2 benedryl….6 Miller lites….Have a great weekend!!!
I’m with the shoe chick and babiesone lady , couple of benadryl and I’m out like a light, if there happened to be one glass of wine involved so much the better
hope you get back in the groove, all that tossing and turning and roaming around at night is making to much noise in this little padded room
My problem with sleeping all night lately is dreams… really weird dreams that are almost played out like movies. I remember parts of them very clearly like I had watched it on TV. Last night I dreamt about being assaulted by a group of men in a parking lot, they pretty much high jacked me in my vehicle, asaulted me and then I ran away and was assaulted again in the field across from our church. I then dreamt about dragons, (probably because we had gone to Eragon last night). After I fell back asleep, I dreamt I was at the store, walked outside and it was slippery. I fell and was worried about my back when I heard a shout and a thump. I looked over across the street to see a couple of guys had been working on a roof. One fell off and the other was running toward the store so I called 911 on my cell phone. There is more to each dream but I am not going into them further, lol.. So, I know I am not sleeping as deep as I should be. That may be the contributing factor to me not being able to keep my eyes open all day long. I am wondering if the meds. I am on are affecting my subconscious, lol.
it’s 5 am on a Saturday! get ya sweetass to sleep! have a good weekend ang, hopefully caffeine-withdrawal will lessen for u over the course of the weekend. hang in there.
Sorry you’re not sleeping. That bites. I have always heard that if you get too much caffeine it will make you sleepy. Maybe that’s why I have trouble staying awake past 9pm. It’s either that, or the fact that I’m over 40 raising teens and a toddler.
hope the rest did come to you…
coffee rules
I feel your pain! I have such a hard time falling asleep. A couple of things that help me are lavender linen spray and putting a pillow between my knees. I picked that last one up during my latest pregnancy. It was a comfort measure then, but I found that after the baby was born, it actually helped me sleep better. I hope you get some rest! {{hugs}}
I never sleep anymore– thanks goodness for my Ambien or I would be a mess.
