I see that no one has posted in a while... I wanted to join to have a place to vent when I'm wide awake and frustrated. My Insomnia is either I can't get to sleep, or I wake up many, many times during the night. sigh, like tonight, I just can't get to sleep. I seem to function fine most of the time, but it is wearing me down... I'm going to try waking up at the same time everyday to see if that helps at all - but I have a lack of motivation sometimes, so it'll be a challenge...
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and like I said, see how everyone was coping...

Re: how is everyone?
Wed, August 24, 2005 - 9:23 AMHello,
It just occured to me that there would be a tribe on this subject. I was up last night as I have been alot, on and off for almost a year now- and there was a program on insomnia....go figure. I didn't identify before now. So "how is everyone?" I'm starting to feel delirious. My love and I are having some trouble and I am worried. For a while now i have been expressing upset with him for going to bed so late and therefor, waking me or keeping me up. It's not his fault is what i realized in my waking hours last night. Poor guy came in from work last night at 10pm and crawled right into bed with me-no unwind time..nothing. i feel like such a little shit. irritable. functioning fine at work...but irritable as hell in the a.m./p.m. ugh...........going to see a therapist monday to deal with the stuff that may be causing insomnia....i really don't want to do pills....i have been addicted to nyquil in the past. i don't feel like myself at all!
:0( thanks for listening.
wow, i just realized how long ago you posted here......hope you have slept well since:0) -

Mon, August 29, 2005 - 3:27 PMHi Sunflower
I hope everything starts to work itself out soon and you can get some sleep. I've been lucky and have have been sleeping lately, with sleepless nights scattered here and there. Been able to find my "zen" state, although lately with the amount of hours and stress I've been going through at work, the zen state is starting to slip away... gotta grab it again! :) Only 4 more months till this job is done, then it's off to a new adventure. Yay!!!

Tue, August 30, 2005 - 2:40 PMhey oracle,
I've gotten a coulpe nights of sleep through. Last night wasn't one of them....but it was more allergies flooding me. Working out some issues with the man and making choices about whether this workplace is something to be put in the past. I can't let my health be compromised...and i am not at my best when exhausted all day. It's strange though because it's not that when I am up...i'm obsessing about the concerns of the day....my mind is kind of blank, yet i can' t sleep. Feeling better though.
So where does your new adventuer take you from and to? -

Re: how is everyone?
Wed, August 31, 2005 - 11:06 AMwell, I'll be leaving Fathom Studios here in Atlanta... the adventure will take me to wherever the work is. :) hoping to stay in Atl for a little while longer, but eventually wanna make my way back to the southwest side of the country.
my allergies have been horrid too - been having a lot of sinus headaches lately, so I've been drugging myself to sleep. I'm such a lightweight since I don't take any meds. I need like 12 hours to fully sleep off the effect! unfortunately, I only have 6 or 7... oh well...

Re: how is everyone?
Thu, August 25, 2005 - 12:39 PMI am curious how many of you have actually tried eliminating coffee from your diet altogether. I've tried everything, and I'm starting to think I need to go on a alkaline diet. Once I went on the Master Cleanse for a few days, and didn't have any coffee or alcohol, and slept fine. -

Re: how is everyone?
Tue, September 20, 2005 - 8:03 AMI have recently almost completely eliminated coffee and soft drinks from my diet and find that I sleep much better now. Now I only get up a couple times a night! :) I also try to minimize drinking any fluids two hours or so before bed so I don't have to relieve myself in the middle of that night- getting up to go to the bathroom = an hour trying to go back to sleep.
The problem with eliminating caffeine though is now work seems to go by sooooo much sloooooower! :) -
