Re: Insomnia
I have suffered insomnia for the last 3 years. I don't fight it - I get up when I wake up, make tea, get something to eat if necessary, read the papers, answer emails, work on my photography. When I'm tired at about 8/9 am, I go back to bed and sleep for a further 2/3 hrs.Re: Insomnia
You have my sympathy Pixie I go through bouts of insomnia and its no fun is it.Re: Insomnia
Aww thanks, Summer! I do try all the relaxation techniques, and they do help send me off to sleep initially....but not helpful when I wake again, unfortunately. I just feel so....awake and alert. I know back in Victorian days, there used to be coffee shops open and churches, for those that couldn't sleep. Families used to meet up and do things, then return home and go to sleep for another few hours. It was considered quite normal....this is not my normal though, I want 7 hours!Re: Insomnia
Re: Insomnia
I usually sleep OK but like most people..I have "those" nights. Can't turn my brain off. Then, if the temperature is mild or cold, I'll have a hot milky chocolate. That usually does the trick. If it's hot I usually turn the air con up full blast and do the same thing.Re: Insomnia
Ahh, air con....yes, in Summer I could do with that. The fans are just too noisy to switch on at night. I should just get Mr P to waft me with ostrich feathers I think! Also, I don't know about the hot chocolate at night....I tried it once or twice, but it didn't make me sleepy. Which is a tad annoying.
