Cool Insomnia Club #3

I took the full dose of ambien last night, usually that ensures I’ll fall asleep quickly but not last night. I was tossing and turning until 3am then I did sleep until 7:30. So that’s pretty good for me.

I was alternating between being freezing cold and being very hot and then I somehow ended up under all my weighted blanlets which was like 40 pounds which didnt help anything of course. Now I'm awake a few hours before I can get up or do anything.

I can only seem to take naps in the evening, then wake up & can't get back to sleep.

I just wish I felt better anxiety wise.

I think its just this covid stuff thats getting to me. But yeah I didnt sleep the greatest last night these hot and cold flashes were tough again.

Edit: I got another 1 and 10 minutes of sleep and I feel ok now. Still kind of anxious though

I slept great last night. For like 12.5 hours. I had a melatonin and a benadryl. I went to bed so hungry I was literally about to go and quit my diet before I fell asleep.

I woke up around midnight & couldn't get back to sleep, so I made peanut butter oatmeal cookies for my breakfast this morning.

Oh you were a lot more proactive than I was! I too woke up after a couple hours sleep. But I busied myself with inventing a new British comic sitcom. Don’t really remember it now tho.

Only slept like 4.5 hours last night. Having an anxiety attack tonight, so can't relax enough to sleep. I have to be up for work in 4 hours Debating whether it's even worth laying down.

I only slept 2 or 3 hours last evening. But this morning I have done a few things that I'm thankful about. From somewhere came a new willingness to take on stuff I'd needed to do for a long time. I hope it's a sign of an upturn, because things have been really hard lately.

I slept good again. But I got up sometime around 8 to eat 3 cookies. I had my music on for most of the night and it didn't bother me. I woke up at 5 something but then I fell back asleep until 6:15.

Ahhhiii. Woke up much too early. But did get about 5 hours which is better. Had another hospital dream. Time was very messed up though. I was about 25 in the dream but stuff from now was happening, like my new glasses were delivered there, and I had the wallet I use now. But the car was different, sort of like the one I drove when I was 25 but a silver with a black canvas roof. I was discharged while at OT, bow and arrow shooting! An orderly bought me a red wagon with my stuff in it but my wallet wasn’t there. There was a glass top on the wagon for the stuff to be safe tho. After walking around the maze of basement corders I found an exit near a bus stop. The wagon changed into a modern 4 wheeled luggage carrier. And my wallet was on top. I took a bus but realized I had a car in the parking lot of the hospital. Was wondering around looking for a bus stop back and they were all going away. Then while walking though a green hilly park square my luggage turned into a hopping toddler. I realized with horror I hadn’t changed his diaper since my week long hospital stay. But I really needed to find the car. Then I woke up!

I think my music might be too much of a distraction. My earbuds hurt and they dont stay in. But I also had the lights off and the menu on the DVD I was watching for about an hour. So the light from that may also have something to do with my sleep. I didnt sleep bad I just thought I'd sleep longer then 3:45.

I managed to add 2-3 hours this time. I feel tired, but I am functioning ok.

I slept as normally as I usually do. I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up right before 4.

Another intense dream, but it resolved with a good outcome. I’m waking up much too early. I’ve been going to bed around 10:30-11pm and wake up 3-4am I need to wait until midnight so I sleep longer and don’t wake until 7-8am. Amazing what just an hour can make. My eyes get so blurry on less sleep.

I fell asleep at about 8 and I slept through the night. I woke up at 6 but I couldnt fully wake up and I dozed off and on before finally pulling myself out of bed at 7.

I went to sleep in the evening & woke up before midnight. So then I surprised myself & did some decluttering & organizing. Then I got tired & slept for a while, maybe an hour or so.

Slept ok except for the dreams. Mum and I went to the state fair with a lot of other people. Our group was on a cart pulled by a tractor when I noticed mum gone. I tried to make them stop but they kept going. Then I tried to have them make an announcement and no luck. They wanted everyone to get home. I made a loop though the fair and found her. She’d had a stroke and changed clothes. Didn’t understand any thing past 1950. I finally got her back to the gathering place but she spoke her mind alienating mean people. She was dressed in 1950’s clothes.

Slept good last night, about 8 hours without taking anything. Have been sleeping with old reruns on the TV hoping if I listen those as a distraction maybe I won't have such bad anxiety and can actually fall asleep.
