yup....same :( been a while but insomnia's back
 
It does my head in...I have about 2-3 episodes a month :(
 
used to be bad on my nights off when i worked nights ...i changed jobs but it happens every now and again .....:(
 
!:29am?? and you say insomnia?? Most nights I'm wide awake till at least 3am, if I do go to bed I'm staring at the ceiling for hours. I try everything, reading, watching films, listening to music ... Just, laying there awaiting exhaustion.

I've had many nights/mornings where I gave in and came down stairs at 6am for a cuppa and toast.

I wish 1:30am was late for me.
 
It's 08.29. I'm in my office, and I'm desperately trying to get to sleep ...

01:30 is the typical start time for me....the last time I remember was 0340 :(
 
I was awake at 4am, but my phone line is out so no internet to alert the world to my insomnia :p
 
i know it well but i am trying not to take gadgets to bed in the hope that will help..

AH right, thought you meant 1:30 was very late for you.

Insomnia is horrible, no matter how little or hard you're affected. There is nothing worse than laying there, knackered beyond any physical movement, but your mind and eyes say NO!
 
I have insomnia usually at times of stress/busyness in life - I can get as little as two hours' sleep and then have to go into work. The problem is that it then hits my immune system so after a poor night's sleep, I'm more likely to succumb to a cough/cold, which is an occupational risk anyway.

I have suffered from insomnia since Uni days (nearly 40 years ago.

Lasts 5-7 days then I crash.

I have now decided not to pop into TP between 1am to 5am!!!

I am now semi retired so grab a few zzzzz on a couple of afternoons a week - bliss

I don't know if I have insomnia or not, I guess it is kind of. I wake up at about 2.30 every night have to come down stairs have a drink and watch tv for best part of an hour before I feel tired again, if I am unlucky that's it for the night. I am not one to go to bed that earlier normally about 11.30 to 12.30 then I am up by 7 at the latest and quiet often at 5 to go to work. I just except that's the way I am.
 
I've done some of my finest ironing around 3.30 am :D
I have found that since I decided to say "sod it" and just go with the flow, I feel much better even if I've had very little sleep.
The worst thing to do is lie there wide awake staring at the walls.
If I find I'm awake (wide awake), I get up. Simples.
 
OK chaps....come on....group wave :lol:

:wave: :wave: :wave:
 
Just thinking of going to sleep in an attempt to pre-empt the bloody cat from stealing ALL the room in bed.

He is my little tiger! :love:


BUT he finds it impossible to lie on the bed without being stretched right across it, leaving me with approx. 6 inches at the side.

Why he can't lie nicely by my side I have no idea! :lol:
