Posted my smoke an hour ago, but I am literally about to light it up with my burning eyes and all....Gotten about 4 hours of sleep over the last 48 hours.... I am glad Ted and Martin have both got more over the last few days. I am sorry to hear that you cannot find rest. Hopefully you are sleeping now. PS Sugar level issues? |

Ok let's boost our spirits a bit...
“Doctor “Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you” Patient: “I know, but I can’t…my wife refuses to sleep alone”
“Insomnia sufferers, look on the bright side, only 3 more sleeps till Christmas”
"A boxer is whining to his doctor that he can’t sleep. “I won’t give you sleeping tablets, you just need to use the classic method of counting sheep” Says the doc.- “I tried, but everytime I get to 9 I jump off the bed” says the boxer."

Insomnia is a complete pain in the _ss. I did the Ambient thing for a while, but I lost the ability to sleep without it. So, I had to go without it straight fo a while. That was miserable. Finally, my body relearned how to sleep without medication. You guys with insomnia have my honest sympathy.

Finally, my body relearned how to sleep without medication. You guys with insomnia have my honest sympathy. Patrick, been suffering with severe insomnia since 2011. I take Ambien 12.5 ER on Wednesday and Saturday only. My doctors answer....“ take it every night “, my answer was no way! Today when I picked up my script it was not my usual 10 per month, it was 30. I don’t want that 💩 in my body every night. Doctors need to listen more!! |

Yeah I am awake why the hell would I want to waste precious hours of life on sleeping. If you guys are not going to sleep you need to at least get a couple naps in. My doc had me do a sleep test a couple of years ago. I slept 3.5 hours and got up. The sleep tech who monitors all your stuff said you have to spend the whole night. I told her unless you plan having sex with me it is time to get out of bed. My heart goes out to you guys who can not even grab a nap and stay up for days so hang in there.

Does anyone else here wake up too early? I wake up at 2-3AM every day. I was never a morning person. This started a few years ago. I just kept falling asleep during the day, and waking up in the middle of the night. This seems to be a problem with septuagenarians+. Maybe we're staying in too much and not getting proper light into our eyes or something.

Maybe we're staying in too much and not getting proper light into our eyes or something. This is my norm since I was young,I wake up early and when I wake up,its like I'm totally awake.No hope of going back to sleep.I do have bouts of insomnia where I sleep very little for days at a time....lately though its been this where I wake up early,no matter what time I lay down. |

I’m up around the clock once again, this will be a long day! I was reading for about 2 hours. For over 3 hours been enjoying.......I’m into the third season of NYPD Blue. For me, the best cop show I’ve ever watched on TV.
Hope everyone else is sleeping well.

Also me as well, was watching NYPD Blue. Into the fourth season already. Extremely well written cop show, with some great acting. I’d almost give it a perfect 10.
Can only spend so much time on any forum, one needs to read as well.
Hope all of you that suffer with sleeping as I do find the peace and serenity you so much deserve and get a good night’s sleep tonight.

Took a four hour nap after dinner last night been up all night again. I was doing so well going to bed on time and sleeping properly for about a week. The worst part is there must be solar flares or something down to one channel on the TV via antenna, The other channels just fade in and out at the good parts of course commercials come in perfect. NYPD is a great show as is Rookie blue if you get a chance.

NYPD Blue is 12 seasons that so far I’m really enjoying 👌👍👍 Next, I need to find what channel to watch this old cop series.........“ Homicide, Life on the Streets “. |

So, I tried two types of oral THC for sleep, one tincture and one tablet, taken at staggered times. Total 10 mg.
I was able to sleep but had weird dreams. The most vivid had me witnessing nuclear detonation on the horizon ("that's bad, real bad", said I) and spending the rest of the night in a fall-out shelter fighting with a smart phone. I don't own a smart phone.
Then in the AM, my CPAP device reported I had an average of 26 apnea events per hour that night. It was so high, my med device supplier emailed me to see my physician. They monitor CPAP activity now.
Anyway, kind of fun. I might try it again soon.
