Cool Insomnia Club #3

Last night was a no go for me. Waking up all night long. So was mum, I saw her light on for hours last night. Wasn’t a flip flop night but I couldn’t sleep, then Dawn seemed to come early. My guy came and sat by my head waiting for me to get up. But I didn’t open my eyes, I didn’t want to get up, my bones hurt! Ugh 😣. So I finally rolled out of bed at 9 and Sir was waiting for me! He led me to the curtains and then sat on my lap while I made my chai, then I gave him his breakfast. He’s been sleeping in the sun since then. I’m jealous.

Thank you, @Nammu. I love hearing about your cat.

Well Nammu I hate that sleep isn’t working right now! Ahhh Sir was ready for you to start his day ! Chai and a full cat isn’t a terrible way to start.

I insist that you have great sleep tonight !!

Give Sir a pat on the head from Gus !

Lol Sir gives Gus a friendly swat on the nose for his trouble!

I finally got into the shower at 4pm. Nice day outside but no desire to go anywhere. Tonight is my night for 2 1/2 ambian so between no sleeping last night and that I should sleep good tonight, fingers crossed. I hope all of us have a good peaceful sleep tonight

I took my normal meds and sleep meds. I ate a packet of almond butter for dinner. I fell asleep around 7:30. I woke up at midnight to eat more almond butter and a couple sips of a Coke zero. I fell back asleep until 6:15. I've been getting a weridly large amount of sleep for how little I've been eating lately.

I didn't get much sleep. But I had a nice breakfast this morning. Maybe that will give me some energy. So far not yet.

Had a great nights sleep and wonderful dreams. Was flying back and forth to a Star Trek convention with my bike. The plane had places where you could lock your bike upright. It was like a commuter train only it was a plane. The people were all friendly and on a greet you manner. On my trip back the plane people were having a hard time because they were short handed. They offered me a good paying job to just help pack up the flea market portion. I explained about my back they said I could try no judgment. So I picked up books and stacked them into boxes, no problem. No pain! Then I found candles that were burnt down and put them in a plastic bag. Was loading my bike on the plane again when I woke up. Was a real feel good dream.

Glad sleep came for a lovely visit !!!!

I fell asleep around 7. Maybe a bit before. I fell asleep fast without music on and I just had 2 Pop Tarts for dinner. I woke up at 11 still not hungry just freezing. So I grabbed my 2 blankets from the laundry room and I fell right back asleep until now. I feel like I'm getting a cold or something I have a bit of a scratchy throat. I felt like I was having literal fever dreams they were so weird. But when I took my temp it was normal. So idk.

Ugh. I don't think I've had a decent night's sleep in weeks. Hours until I can fall asleep, awake before dawn and trouble falling back to sleep. If I'm lucky I'll get one restless hour at daybreak. My dreams, which are usually vivid and colorful, have been weird...paranoid. Hiding from dangerous people. Stuff like that. I suspect that the fantastic med that's so successfully easing my terrible anxiety is contributing to insomnia. But I'll take the insomnia over the anxiety any day. I just wish I could take afternoon naps like I did during the summer.

I don't have a routine that my system can rely on. I wish I could get back to my old routine. It worked so well for me, & my brain & body. My circadian rhythms are completely messed up. I think a lot of my sadness & anxiety is because of that.

My intestines feel like they have fused together and my back and throat hurts and I'm coughing a bit. I fell asleep around 7:30 and I woke up at 2.

Edit: I got back to sleep around 3:30. I woke up at 6. My stomach still hurts but I don't feel as bad as I did when I woke up before. its tough to tell if I should go get tested or not for covid or if it is a primary issue. I see him on Monday.

Not a lotta sleep last night. But I finally slept near dawn. Was in a huge new house of my daughter’s mil and got kidnapped by a villain. Somehow wound up in Italy and then weird things the violin was doing back fired on him and I was able to ex cape and notified the polizia.

I slept but woke a lot. I had to drag myself out of bed finally but only because my bladder made me.

Sleepy hugs !

I ate a little cup of macaroni and cheese and a candy bar around 5. Which is considered an actual dinner for me now.. So I was able to sleep mostly thorugh the night. I woke up once at 11 to use the bathroom and then once at 1 and then 3. But I got back to sleep until about 5.

My stomach just hurts really badly.

Edit: I didn't realize how cold I was until I made my bed half an hour ago. sometime in the night I had gotten under my 8 pound weighted blanket in addtion to my 10 pound one and my fleece blanket and my throw blanket.

Not much sleep, but I've been doing ok. Actually, this morning I have been in touch with my higher self & our creator.

Slept great last night. I was a kid again. It’s kind of confusing but at one point I was in a car that looked like it was a fantasy car. Was finding lost parts to games and dolls. Putting them in carriers. Was waiting for brother ( don’t have a brother) and his friends to come back so we could go.

Nammu !! Love your dreams.

Dawn !! I hope your sleep gets better.

First night with my Fitbit. It’s seems to have done a good job tracking my sleep. Sleep and wake times. I’m interested to see how things will be overall.

I’ve always wondered if those things were accurate. During the day when I’m reading with my cat on my lap I would think it would say I’m sleeping since I move so little. Especially if I’m reading the kindle, just a swipe of a finger.

I ate some cheetos and a hershey bar around 5:30. Then I passed out around 6 maybe. I woke up at 10:30 and ate a legit dinner of steak and mashed potatos. Then I fell back asleep until 4:30. I got up at 6:30 to take a shower.

I think it’s pretty accurate for these first 2 days. Last night I flip flopped a lot! Awake a lot and It showed pretty much as I expected since I sucked at sleep last night. The times it logged when I fell asleep then fully up was accurate.

I spent over an hour last night scrolling Tik Tok ( not moving but just a finger also) checked the time when I put it down and it started my “ sleep” correctly.

Oh my goodness! What a dream!! Thank you!!

That is so beautifully put, & so close to the way I feel about my own view of life.

I fell asleep around 6 I think. I was getting stuffed up so I used some Vicks vapor rub on my chest. I coughed myself awake once or twice but now I've been up since 2 coughing. My doctor says its just some type of viral infection and not covid.
