Who else can't sleep?
Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

- I'm in that club too!! Isn't it SO annoying?? During Menopause I could never sleep either .... so usually have some temase on hand - especially when camping .... I've also tried Phenergan tabs - but usually just end up with a dry mouth. I've tried Melatonin tabs & my sister brought her pharmacy compounded Melatonin liquid down over Easter & I tried it - it did nothing for me ...... I've tried various 'natural solutions' that also don't work!!However - last night I had a REALLY good sleep - probably more due to the fact I was out in my kayak yesterday, fishing for 7-8hrs (a cast of thousands) .... so was very suitably tired before going to bed!
I wear ear plugs so that I don't hear any 'external' noise - be it my husband's snoring or the birds starting their dawn chorus - as once I DO wake up, I can never go back to sleep! :(
What a PAIN!!!
I haven't read all 23 pages ...... SO ... does anyone have a sure fire method for getting back to sleep (or just falling asleep in the first place) ..... that works??? - And, of course, there's another load in the basket now!
- @onemargie You are my aspiration...
- Morning ladies. I feel so bad as I sleep like a baby these days especially since the end of the hot flushes last year. I’m up ealtvlike you guys but at least get a decent nights sleep except for a pee through the night. I hope you guys get some decent rest soon. And yes @Sister I remember going away on hols either camping or in a unit with only two kids me and hubby and I remember thinking the same on our return home..... where the fuck did all this bloody washing come from! And even when we went camping i still did a load or three and still managed to come home with 408 loads of washing to do WTF! Lol. Margie xx
- How appropriate!
- The funny thing is that during the couple of hours sleep I had when we got back Sunday night, I was dreaming that I was in a zombie movie and that my family was in it, too. I felt like a zombie most of yesterday.
- Congratulations! On the sleep that is, not the laundry...
- I slept last night for 6 1/2 hours!!! With the help of Ativan and then Tamazapam. This is after going for 72 hours with about 2-3 hours sleep a night. I wasn't the happiest bunny to be around yesterday - cleaning up after being away and nagging the kids about it. How many clothes can 2 girls wear in a place where you don't really see anyone but family, spend most of the time on the beach AND when I did a load halfway through so there wouldn't be much when we came home?
- My husband is snoring like a train. He says he doesn't sleep much but he's always asleep when I'm awake...
- Kids do the floors here - I can blame them.
