Ho Hum no sleep again..

[ladyjan]

well here we go again..
sleepless in seatle zone again..
was taking anti-histamine tabs, seemed to work fne but made me drowsy in the morn..and was hoping I could get to do it alone
melatonin is very expensive,
a kind member sent me sleep theropy mp3's they worked, but after a while I knew what was being said and couldn't get into it anymore..
so here I am wide awake..
I have even taken to stupid farmville..
something I poo poo'd off as being a time waster and a con, when it wants you to pay in cash for some things.

I am now playing spelling out words in the crops I am soo bored..

golly must be boring anybody that is reading this..

is any body else going thru this at the mo??
I know it's a price we must pay for getting clean or on the road to be..
but lifes a bitch when we try and do it right we get bit up the bum for doing it......

This too shall pass, hon. I've had times I didn't sleep a wink at night, but mostly I sleep well. I listen to hypno CD's to help, or read. Good luck, sweetie.

hi skendall,
yes I can get melatonin here, but it's quite expensive, thats why I tried with the anti-histamine stuff
I never knew that worked for sleep..
I thought it was for colds and alergies.?????
just I don't wanna take anything that may become addictive if I can
thankyou for the offer, very kind of you..:h

Try taking a nice relaxing bath before bed with about 2 cups of epsom salt added into it, have the water as hot as you can stand it, and stay in for at least 20 minutes...the minerals from the salt will replenish what alcohol has taken from your body, and also give you a sense of relaxation.

I also use the guided relaxation MP3's...even when I know what they're going to say, I still drift off into sleep night after night. Can you download different ones? There are a lot to choose from, and then you would be able to rotate which ones you were listening to.

Get into a good book...it will keep you occupied until you just can't keep your eyes open one more second....

If all else fails, just remember "this too shall pass"...as Ruby said.

hi K9 lover..I would love to able to have a bath..
I don't mean I am dirty..
just that I have a bath tub but my water heater will only fill enough to cover your feet..!!!
oh the joys of living in a civilised country..:H
when I bath ollie I have to run 3 times the heater just enough for him to sit and cover his bum...

bring back the gas water heaters..
endless hot water.. pure bliss...
