Always good to see new faces @Loobylou!
@SoldierCrab Not good - have you got anything you can take to knock you out?
Do you have an office that you can close and take a catnap in @sarnicad?
My kids all have a student free day, today but we're expecting the power to be off from 9-3 (or something like that) so maybe having to go into work may not be too bad. At least I shouldn't have any interruptions with no students there.
I've decided that I have to stop railing against the general lack of sleep - it's just what it is and I can't see it changing soon. It's just trying to fit normal life into what I can actually do. I do love my work but hell, I wish I could retire now.0 -
@SoldierCrab, if you have been awake that long without sleeping you are in the overtired time. I think you need to see a doctor today as that sort of thing can do damage.0

@SoldierCrab I agree with @Brenda5. Time to see a doctor. Is there something new going on that's triggered the insomnia? Please take care of yourself. K xox0

Ladies it has been just a bad week....
- Mum with dementia being very difficult, ( yes I know be patient- but I dont have any Patience left LOL )
- work is chaos this week, and because my mum had gotten me all stressed out I stayed up Wednesday night and did my end of month accounts for work.
- trying to get 3 Flyers for groups out for local BC support Group before I go away for a week in March ....
Thank you for your concerns I am sure I need to learn better ways to deal with stress of mum's dementia other than working through the night

Dear @SoldierCrab . Some small suggestions that might help. Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea ( available in supermarkets , contains camomile long used as a carmitive (?) by Italians) plus increase your calcium intake with milk , yogurt ( not cheese as it has tyromines that can keep you awake). Try eating tinned tuna (plain) 3 times a week as it helps the brain function and deal with stress.And don’t forget the power of music to alter mood and bring relaxation.
Is a very hard time for you atm and difficult to implement strategies when you are plain buggered and strung out. Call in your buddies who love and know you well and see if they have any ideas or can help even just by listening - you don’t have to always be strong and capable - you have needs too and need some me time. Will be thinking of you XO1 -
PS We have always found high potency vitamin B tablets useful at times of stress - will try and send you some info on why but check to see if it interferes with anything else you take on the Herbs app.2

hi Romla,
dairy intolerant so that doesnt help me .... It was that I was so wound up by my mum behaviours that I needed to slow down my mediation doesnt seem to work when I am that stressed. So I was proactive and got a heap of my work done ( I work from home) My Ipod decided to cark itself on Wednesday night
All good 12th March Mum is off to my step sister for 10 days and I am off to Darwin for a bit of R& R with my boys ..... Visiting my bestie 4 -
Glad to hear you have a break coming up @SoldierCrab .Try that tea and then meditation - it has been helpful here. X0

@Sister
I had a week in Darwin in July 2018 I loved it ....
This trip is to see if my boys like it ... I want to move to Darwin boys are attached (autism) still so they would relocate if I do go. So I need to see what they think
