Not Sleeping Well...

the last little while, can't really pin down why!

Side effects – insomnia and disturbed sleep

I don't sleep well ever. I don't remember the last time I slept through the night and felt rested the next day.

Me either and the older I get, the more run down I feel due to lack of sleep. The only time I ever rest well is when my child is with me and I think that's because she gives me inner peace of some sort to rest my restless soul.

Luckily I don't need that much sleep. It also allows me to spend some extra time here

Nobody appreciates your time here more than I do

I used to be the same way as you and functioned just fine off 4 - 6 hours (avg.) hours sleep/night but as I get older, it's harder and harder to do.

I know my reasons for lack of sleep and I don't see an end anytime soon. I am even older than you guys. Age has a bit to do with it.

It was WONDERFUL to catch up on my sleep last night! Finally had a great day at work again where I was TOTALLY in the zone with my work, very few distractions...I LOVE those kinds of days!

Glad to hear it Luba. I know how it feels to drag all day at work because you are so tired from lack of sleep.

Thanks, tkdlady; I feel like a new person today!

Ya, me too.

About the only cure I've found for getting to sleep is drinking one or two beer prior to bedtime. This wipes me out completely and guarantees me between 4 - 6 hours of deep sleep (at least deep for me).

Of course, the fact that I drink a lot of water after the beer doesn't help much as I have to wake to hit the bathroom during the night. The water is essential though because if I don't go to bed hydrated, I'll wake with a nasty headache in the morning.

Maybe that is my problem. I should stop at 2 instead of at 10!!
