I have insomnia, not seasonal, not situational but life long can't sleep for nothing insomnia. My earliest memory is laying awake waiting for the sun so I could get up and go to school..I was about 5.
However, my only saving grace was that I could sleep once I got to sleep, but that has changed. I have had 13 hours of sleep since Sunday morning and let me tell you, I am beyond tired. So tired in fact that I am going to the doctor today and asking for a sleep aid, something I promised myself I would never do. Before you mention it, I have tried everything in the last 40 years, breathing, melatonin, meditation, etc. and sometimes it works for a few days-heck melatonin worked for 4 months-then I go back to not being able to go to sleep.
So, what is the point of this thread you ask? I want to complain, nothing much more than that. I was so exhausted last night that I crashed at 6 pm-my beloved husband woke me and 10 and I have been awake ever since. *sigh* He didn't do it on purpose, I used to be able to sleep through a freight train-now I wake so easily he won't kiss me goodbye in the morning before going to work. *double sigh*
I usually try to work with my insomnia and work at night then hit the sack as the sun comes up, but I can't do that now because I can't work out at home or go to the gym at midnight.
Also, I want to hit him and both of my kids with a brick every time they say they can't sleep---after trying for ten fricken minutes. *triple sigh*
Okay, I guess that's about it.
