I do have some issues with insomnia, but once the initial drift off comes, it usually lasts. Having a couple of kids running around and yelling first thing every morning has helped me tremendously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522731770475871317.post-32886689625233201142008-08-27T00:26:00.000+05:302008-08-27T00:26:00.000+05:30I hate it when I wake up and can not get back to s...I hate it when I wake up and can not get back to sleep. Now that I am RETIRED, I don't mind getting up and just go get on the sofa. The dogs come lay down by me, one at my feet, one on the floor and the other on her dog bed by the fireplace. Then I get some pretty good sleep for a couple hours. But I could not do that if I had to punch a clock and go to work. Good luck to you, wish you knew when it was going to happen and then you could take something, but the problem is not knowing what night it will happen. Sorry about that....no solution here!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881554728710759245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522731770475871317.post-33340975865989221132008-08-26T21:46:00.000+05:302008-08-26T21:46:00.000+05:30Geeze - sounds like a nightmare!

I usually fall asleep around 10pm on the couch while watching my favorite TV show... the wife will go into bed and leave me there... where I'll wake up at like 3am. Then I trudge into bed and crash until 5:30 when my alarm goes off...<BR/><BR/>You know I just realized you were complaining about something and I totally just said how I didn't have that problem... Hmmm... sorry I couldn't be of help... Although I'd second LCEEL's advice... usually like 30 seconds after we start our post-sex snuggling the wife is snoring away... seems to help her fall asleep...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522731770475871317.post-38332533708486395692008-08-26T19:25:00.000+05:302008-08-26T19:25:00.000+05:30More sex.

Maybe when I'm working on my own time and my own terms I'll finally be able to stop taking something, but if I want to get 8 hours and get up on time? Gotta take something.<BR/><BR/>I hope it doesn't get that bad for you!<BR/><BR/>Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.com
