I'm frustrated. I'm insomnic again. I fell asleep and its 245 a.m. and I'm here awake. So I lay there awake, looking at the ceiling, in desperate attempts to fall asleep. After many attempts with obvious failure, I get my sorry butt out of bed and into the living room. The laptop for now is my only companion. I've always hated being awake alone at nights especially when everyone else is asleep. It scares me. I can hear every clock in the room ticking, my husband snoring in the bedroom, the faucet dripping, etc. Indeed irritating. So I'm here.
Yesterday was decent day for me. My husband left to work, and I put myself into the mood of cleaning. I had to do laundry anyway, so I figured that I'd kill 2 birds with one stone. I actually kicked ass. I finished in about 2 hrs everything. I was pretty proud of myself there. Took a nap, and finally went to do what I had put off for the whole week....Taxes! Arghhh. Needless to say, what I expected I got. All I am about to say is that I am glad taxes are only once a year. pshhhh. Afterwards, I went for a most deserved hair pampering. I had been wanting and needing to get my hair colored a darker shade from what I have now and I finally succeeded in doing it. and I love it! By this time the hubby was out of work and I opted to leave the kitchen alone for tonite and share some dinner out with him. An overall good day despite taxes. I definetly need to catch up on my reading. So I shall do this today.

When I was recovering from a major spinal surgery this past summer, I was tormented with insomnia, but it was not classic insomnia, it was surgery related.
My nerves were reconnecting and reeking havoc on my sleeping body. I would watch the Olympics, surf the net, but what I learned was that watching TV and viewing the computer screen was a form of stimulation in and of itself.
So, I would then turn on the meditation music station and try to sleep. But alas, my restless leg syndrome kicked in and I would be awake for hours, trying to reshuffle, hoping something would alleviate my condition.
Finally I was prescribed Ambien, and my life changed. I took it regularly for about 1 &1/2 weeks. Then I tapered off. But it got me through the hump.
Have your tried, some form of yoga, mild exercise (not too late in the evening), herbal tea, massage...you get what I am talking about? Hope this passes for you, there is nothing like a good nights sleep. *Hugs*
I need to start catching up on my reading too. And, oh geez doing taxes definitly sounds like fun...lol
