The cool insomnia club

2:40 a.m. if I fall asleep, there's no way Im getting up at six. I will if Im still awake though.

What does your chemical takedown include?

I ended up staying up until six and then taking more Seroquel and sleeping until noon. I feel fine today. I hope that has reset my sleep.

I have a variety of psych meds I can take that will knock me out.. I hate doing it, but when my insomnia is awful I use it when I am at day 5 or longer with no sleep., I hate the med hangover the next day.

Tossed and turned till way pass the witching hour. Woke way too early and kept shouting my eyes and an hour would go by. Sir was on the far courner of the bed waiting for me. Got up for an hour, tried to go back to bed, shuffled off the the shower, that helped. Really should have gone to the Pharmaceutical stores but don't have it in me. Will go tomorrow

Nammu sorry you had one of "those" nights...

Sir is always such a wonderful polite one

Yes he is, but then he's in his 70's so I imagine he has experience on his side. He knows he'll get fed. He has an everlasting dry food downstairs that he can munch on if he gets hungry. Mainly he eat wet food three times a day. About two tablespoons s at a time. Such a change from when I first brought him home. He'd snarf food then threw up and he wouldn't let me out of he's sight. It's been ten years now and he is continent and enjoying being spoiled. In return he lets me sleep. It was like he had PTSD when I brought him home. He was 5 or 6 then and very afraid. He's relaxed since then. Still plays with toys and loves playing tag with me.

Awwwwww Nammu you saved him from a rough life Yes he just needed time and love .. It heals in humans and our furry loved ones

He was so sweet I fell in love.

another night with no sleep and rest

....

I had intense dreams of being in someone's else's house and was married with two kids. They were making a mess and dragging the new furniture all over. I was being a pain in the backside and trying to place everything just so. There were ghosts too, not sure how they figured in except they'd change the furniture around and I'd blame the kids and husband. The chairs were butter yellow woven fabric with multicolored cushions in a thick cord fabric. And there was lots of nic naks. The price tags were still on most things and I was being a real kill joy.

Rv I hope sleep finds you tonight

Killjoy???? You were probably the one to pay for all that junk LOL ! Your dreams are in such rich colors, Most of mine are dull, black and white mostly... I want so color to mine ! Dammit!

I slept a couple broken hours.. but im okay

Hope everyone get a greats night of sleep

yesterday I had a panic attack

so sleep was deffenetely out the question

scared the life out of me

I took extra seroquel again but tossed and turned until my alarm blared at me at 5 a.m.!

It's hard to keep track of how much sleep I'm actually getting, but I think I am doing a little bit better. I'm wishing you all restful & refreshing sleep.

I had an Asian daughter, Asian son-in law and two Asian grandsons. Everyone spoke mandarin , I had a hard time keeping up. We were on the docks and one place that started with a p was up a steep set of steps. Then we were in a hotel room, just one large room with roll up beds and candy. It was a game. Everyone took turns eating number by number. It was coming back up to my turn and twenty was a loose bit. I went to find a fork of spoon and ended up on an American toilet before going back. They were all wondering where I was but had moved on to the next game and I didn't get to try the gummy like hay. It was interesting understanding a foreign language.

I have a slight sore throat. That could be from sleeping with the fan last night but I wear my cpap mask and that covers my nose and mouth completely. I also feel achey and I wonder if its from the lack of sleep.

ETA: I slept several hours this evening and I feel better! Now lets hope I can sleep tonight.

Nammu ! Love it !!!!!!!

Okay I am trying to convince myself I need sleep more than watching ER for another 14 hours tonight.. at this stage I don't even feel tired ( ooops bad sign) But hey its season 11 and its really really really good

I'm watching Season 11 of ER as well! Insomnia sisters!

Thank you for this place. I wish you all good sleep.

YAY!!!!! Yes Sisters indeed ! ER is just something I can watch over and over and over and never get tired

Thanks Breaking Dawn its a good place to have with sleep isnt possible , its nice to feel your not the only person dealing with ongoing struggles of finding any kind of regular sleep . Hope your finding some : hug:

I woke up ridiculously early, got up used the bathroom then went back to bed. My dreams were very covid aware. My county jumped from 87 to 112! I was in a small car and driving though a huge huge store where eveyone was in cars and driving to areas to look at merchandise. Sort of like how the old department stores were there was an area for gloves and a different area for hats. Hats were all the range as people can see big hats from a distance. Then I was shopping a huge deli picking out different delicacies for my daughter's graduation from college. I was joking with the person that she did it all backwards having kids first, then marriage then college and we would have the food on benches so everyone could drive up in their cars and get some food and drinks them we'd be a a drive-in movie theater. Everyone would park and my daughter would drive in front and they'd all Hong and toast!

Nammu that is so cool ! I wish I could drive through my stores to shop LOL But alsa... Id get stuck behind a slow poke , Maybe then I hope I drive a tank and just roll over them...

On a ER episode I watch the other day there was a crazy man driving a tank to the ER because he was mad , The show highlighted just how hard it is to get mental health care....

Are they doing drive through graduation in your town? They are doing that for our class of 2020 .. I feel back for the kids, Not being able to do the walk.. They talk of plans in the future to allow for a real graduation, but people will probable scatter and getting on with the rest of there life..

What goodies did you pick up at the Deli .. I am soooooo freaking hungry, Im fat and I should not be eating so much , But I am stress eating and I suspect I am so not alone !

Speaking of... I need to go make dinner
