Tired

Again, I had difficulty sleeping last night. When I was in high school I was prescibed some sleeping pills. I know that sleeping pills carry a high risk of dependence but I did not have to worry about that. My mother only let me take them once. ONCE. Of couse, years later she offered them to me again while my wife and I were visiting my parent’s house. I quiped that they would help me sleep alright, forever!

My late night ritual is as follows:

Toss, toss, toss. Turn, turn, toss. Lay on the couch for 20 minutes. Read for 30 min. Lay on other couch. Turn on TV. Laugh at the 400 Lunesta commercials on between 1 o’clock and 2 o’clock. Go back to bed. Toss, toss, turn.

It goes on like this for 2 or 3 hours. It gets real old real quick. Now I don’t know if I need to go to the doctor because I’m sick or because that little flying butterfly told me to buy Lunesta. All I know is, I am tired.

  1. Hey Man. I had the same problem for a long time. Strangely, it stopped about the time we moved into our new apartment. I don’t know how that could have had anything to do with it, but anyway. Also, I don’t know how late you use the computer, but I was doing a lot of work on the Compy during the evenings and when I cut back on that, it helped too. Good Luck!

  2. hmm I have a problem with insomnia.

    I occasionaly go 3 nights without sleeping and one day of sleeping for about it went on for about a month and a half.

    I read an article about how milk helps induce sleeping.

    I started drinking a lot of milk and it helps.

    I drink about a liter of milk a day.
