Does this......

Does this happen to you?
Insomnia?
I did nothing unusual last night.
No coffee…
No sweets….
Normal computer surfing.
Hop into bed; wide awake, WIDE AWAKE!!!
Ok, just finished my book so nothing to read. Turn on the TV, The Nanny….
Then a little Of Conan…….
Wide awake…
Cannot give in…
Must stay in bed…
Oh look The Nanny is back on!!
2AM, set the TV timer……
Hmmm…..potty
2:30AM
Last time I saw the clock it was 3AM…
Next time I am just going to get up and
“pull an all nighter' ”!!

Hope you all had a nice Valentine’s Day and week.

    it happens about once very 1.5 months or so...but I migrate down to the couch for the tv watching, so as not to disturb the hubs

    Yes it does. And I didn't care for those few years when I didn't have a young child. (Mine are quite spread apart in age.) But, now with a baby again...I HATE it when that happens! I do try to stay in bed thinking I will get the much needed sleep...then get mad at myself in the morning because I could have been sewing all that time!

    Those are the most frustrating nights! And, instead of getting up I just lay there - no tv, no reading hoping the boredom will put me to sleep. There is a rumor out there that it has something to do with age - shhhhhh, don't tell anyone.

    Sounds like sleepless nights are more common than one might think.

    I have cycles where I will sleep at night and then a span when I don't sleep. I just lay there eye wide open. Waiting for the sandman to come.

    Ugh!

    Hugs!

    Oh....I hate it when that happens....I was that way for over a week in Amerika Samoa...miserable.

    Hope you get some sleep tonight. Congrats to the winner.

    Happens every few weeks. I decided if I lay in bed for an hour and can't get to sleep then I get up. I go out to the living room and do a bit of knitting or embroidery until I get sleepy. Sometimes it takes all night other times I get lucky after an hour or so.

    Hope tonight is better.

    It doesn't sound like the all nighter was fun.

    Hi Jane! " Join the club" :) No matter what time I go to bed, even midnight, I wake somewhere between 2.30 and 3.30am. I usually start to feel tired again close to 6am when our alarm goes off! :(
    It is hard to get enthusiastic about doing stuff during the day when I feel half dead! Sandy.

    Gee, you would have still been awake to take the call from my dad at 3:23 a.m. telling me that the wheel on his walker was acting funny. I, on the other hand, was sound asleeep and it startled the beejeebees out of me.

    I had a strong of those a few weeks ago. I think mine are chalked up to "change of life" being 48+ and all...

    Hope your sleep cycle gets back on track. Hugs!

    Congrats to the winner... Woo hoo!

    I'm a hopeless insomiac, so I have no cure for you. I just use the time to get things done. Usually my housework, laundry, dishes - the stuff I hate to do during the day, gets done at night.

    That happens to me but not often. First suggestion - buy a Kindle and you'll never run out of books. :) Second, tape something better than Nanny! I have several episodes of NCIS (Mark Harmon) on the DVR. He definitely won't put me to sleep but at least I'll have fun looking while I'm awake. :) blessings, marlene

    Jane, you can call me too. I have the same problem, nothing can help me to sleep. I watch the Nanny too and then I do enjoy Everybody loves Raymond. Hope you have a better night tonight.

    I never used to have a problem sleeping, but now that I am in my mid-forties...it happens on occasion. I would say 3-4 times a week. It stinks!
