What do you do while you have insomnia?

[okarol]

I've never ventured into the chat area.  Can someone tell me how it's different from here?

In chat you can see which other members are in the room with you. They are typing sentences in a conversation sort of mode.

I find that moving from one sleeping location to another helps (there are 3 places I can sleep in my house).  The next best thing is turning on the tv to the light classical station.  That kind of music puts me out every time.  Hope that helps.

I do that too. I start out in bed but usually land on the couch with the tv on for background noise.  I don't care how I sleep or where anymore

Peleroja, I know you're back on hemo for the moment but aren't you considering going back to PD?  Do you still have the same options of "sleeping around" then?  It's when I'm hooked up to my cycler that I get the "trapped" feeling.  It's not every night and some nights I'm able to sleep just fine although I might have used some assistance like Tylenol PM or Clonazepam.  Sometimes like this past night, when I anticipated that I might have trouble, I switch to a modified version of PD in which I've done several exchanges during the day and then will put an overnight exchange in and unhook which gives me the freedom to roam if necessary.  It's 4:15am right now and I've been up and about since 3AM so I guess I made the right choice last night! 

I don't know about anyone else here but I have little control over the TV remote control or the radio in the car unless I'm driving so I'm not sure I could get away with classical music in the bedroom.  Never hurts and it sounds like it might be worth a try.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Well I did finally get a little sleep. Fell asleep while in chat with Wenchie58 and Circleinthedrain.. Unfortunately it wasn't for long and no one was in chat when I woke up. Still feel odd, but wide awake.

[paddbear0000]

So that's where you disappeared to last night! I wondered why you got so quiet for so long.

If I can't sleep, I'll go down to the couch, which is WAYYY more comfortable than the bed, and watch tv, or play around on the computer.

[Wenchie58]

I spend endless hours in mindless chat with the "Late Night Loonies".  Well, it isn't always mindless and not everyone is loony...but we laugh til we cry and act way younger than our years.  If we were still in school I'm sure "some" would get detention....not me of course, since I am an innocent bystander. <snort>

Shup Chris!     

[paris]

I thought we were having serious indepth discussions and solving world problems!  Mindless?  Loony?          I think I missed a good chat last night.  I actually slept 


Wenchie, WHO  is innocent??   

[paddbear0000]

What? You mean the Maldives, bikinis and nude beaches aren't serious topics?!   

[Chris]

No comment on that one.

I got booted so many times last night, that after 7:30 am I had enough. So far so good in chat.

[monrein]

Did someone say nude beaches and the Maldives?   Now that's serious!  Darn, and Zach was kind enough to PM me to come to chat but I noticed it too late. 

[paris]

Zach, I thought I got your only invite to chat!      At least I am in good company with Monrein!

[monrein]

Ahh, Paris, it's the age old story...always have them thinking they're the only one who could be so special.  I believe the game is played equally well by both sides of the gender divide.   
He probably plies all the girls with wine too. 

[Chris]

That's why he offers the women a drink when they come into chat 

[G-Ma]

wenchie..you sound like me, the local rabblerouser (nice trouble maker)    by the way ladies...zach asked me to join him for a drink last evening...so there.
Love you guys and girls.
Ann

[paris]

Now we know what a two timer Zack really is   

[Chris]

No comment of the female persuasion in chat
You know who you are, your not hiding...

[paddbear0000]

Hey! If I hadn't been there last night at one point, you would have been talking to yourself for a while Chris!

[Wenchie58]

 

[Chris]

Why you blushing so red Wenchie? 

Anyway, I hope to find something Friday when I see doc. Paddbear said in chat that research showed that some people only need a small amount of sleep or something. Memory a little fuzzy.

I don't want to do a sleep study though, That's nerve racking having someone watch you, bed uncomfortable, can't walk the halls, no decaf cofee to make.

[Wattle]

 


Morning Chris... (well I am about to go to bed as it's night time here!)

You must have slept last night because you Wenchie and JP were missing in action. I missed you in Chat.

[Wenchie58]

I don't know what Chris, JP and Circ were doing
last night, but this old gal was sleepin like a baby!

Now I am probably good for another three days
of insomnia!  Grrrr.

No, I said people can only go so many days without sleep before it starts messing with your body and becomes fatal. Boy, your memory sure is fuzzy!

[Chris]

Wattle, I got bootted a lot that night, then cable and internet went down. What a boring night that was.

Paddbear, I refute your reality and subject you to my own....lol  I thought that's what you said though, my mistake. memory still not great though.
