Cool Insomnia Club #3

Yesterday I woke up at 8:30AM. Tonight I fell asleep for a couple of hours. I’ve been up for about 1.5 hours. I’ve been sleeping in shifts. Friday night I got 5 hours. Last night about 9. Not sure on tonight. But hopefully I’ll go back to sleep soon and wake up again at 8:30 or later. My mom told my brother to keep quite for once when he woke up before I did.

I am still sleeping alot except the night before last when I go NONE. I did get a 2 hour nap in yesterday. I am really nervous to go back to trouble sleeping every damn night.. Now that I no longer have Xanax I worry about layers of anxiety..

I hope that Geodon and Seroquel keep allowing me to sleep daily..

hugs to anyone in need

Last week I forgot to put my sleeping pills in my weekly container! I thought I was having a hard time sleeping and that all the sweating was from the humidity, nope withdrawals. Now sleep is back to 5-6 hours of constant walking up and dreams. Last night was taking care of huge oversized babies and then going out to huge oversized trains and trying to get off the tracks while keeping a look out for the bad guy.

Really difficult today, no energy, feeling bruised emotionally, wishing for enough sleep, not able to consume the nutrients I need, lots of dreaming when I do sleep, like Nammu. So glad for you, Christina, hoping your good experience recently will stay with you.

It took forever for me to fall asleep. I finally did at 7. Then I woke up about 45 minutes ago. I get frustrated when this happens because I often wake up hungry and then my calories for the day get screwed up since I’m eating something at 1AM. My pain is like a 2 right now. Only my right side incision is currently bothering me.

I seriously think my bed is the issue. Things were going decently until I switched with my mom. Now every other night is screwed up for me no matter what I do or take.

I fell asleep pretty quickly around 6 or 7. I had a giant fleece blanket and my fan was turned on. Then I woke up at 11:45. I ate a piece of bread and then I fell back asleep until 3. Which was ok for me since I wanted to listen to some podcasts anyways.

I feel ok today. Not as anxious as yesterday.

Slept pretty darn good 😊 went to bed around 11-11:30 and woke up at 7. Really tried to go back to sleep and catch my dream again but no luck. Was a very cool dream with great music from the early 70’s.

Oh my goodness, @Nammu! Your dream! Too bad you couldn't get back into it. Oh yes, the music of that time was wonderful, & such a great mixture of genres. Thank you!

I hope the **** load of meds I took and the sleep lotion I used knocks me out. It probably will. Until 3 again.

Nammu !!! Love your dreams always

Dawn I hope your finding some good sleep !!!

Last night was a night I was really getting worried about as I tossed and turned far too much for my liking. I hope this combo isn't wearing off I have really needed this sleeping everyday.

Thank you so much, Christina! I hope that you will sleep well tonight! And thank you so much for your club, where we can feel accepted & express our thoughts & feelings about insomnia.

It's 1:30 a.m. and I'm still awake. A few days ago I slept for 20 hours straight! What is wrong with me?

I fell asleep around 7:30. I woke up right before 1 and I took another Benadryl and I ate a piece of bread and drank a small bottle of cranberry juice. Then I went back to bed until about 7. I slept well.

I slept really well. It was cold last night and I covered up with the thick blanket. Oh it was heaven.

I don't know how long I slept, but not enough. I'm barely awake today.

Thank you so much ! Glad you are here

I struggled a bit to sleep last night but got enough to where I feel okay.

That's a lot of sleep. Seems like me a little. I don't sleep and then I sleep a lot. What the heck is going on?

Anxiety is keeping me up tonight. I wish my body would relax so I could sleep.

Went to bed at 9pm, woke up at 11pm. Just been chilling listening to Quebecois radio since.

Really tired but glad to be here.

I went to bed around 7. I fell asleep pretty fast. I woke up a couple of times. Once when the song One Song Glory from Rent was playing. The second time when a Clay Aiken song was playing. Then I turned off my music. I woke up right before one and I drank a cranberry juice. Then I fell back asleep until an hour ago.

I kept smelling something awful and I thought it was me. But I think it’s what my mom was cooking for dinner.

I’ve found the liquid Benadryl capsules to be very helpful lately.

That Benadryl/melatonin/sleep lotion combo is working great. I’ve been sleeping pretty well lately. Today I didn’t wake up until 6:50. Which is pretty late for me. I fell asleep right around 8.
