kneelingatlas Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) I fell asleep in my sons' room at 8, wake up at 9:30 stagger into my room where my wife asks about my day. I get all revved up ranting about telecom companies and how jacked up they are; meanwhile she falls asleep so I go fit the rear sight on my Limited. I try to go to bed at 11 but now I'm hungry so I go eat a bowl of cereal and try again: nothing! So here I am on BE's and shopping for parts online at 12:53 Edited October 12, 2013 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Went through that a few weeks ago. The hard part for me was staying up all the next day to break the cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 The worst part is that my wife is going to a late dinner with her dad and brothers tonight so I'm putting the boys to bed solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Warrior Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have trouble staying asleep. I'm awake many many times a night. I get back to sleep ok, but I don't get a good night sleep cause I keep waking up just enough to look over to see what time it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have sleep apnea since I've gained weight. I feel like I'm in quicksand all day. I feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Melatonin will put you out. Not a drug, buty the 3mg capsules and take 1/2 of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Sleep is when the body repairs itself, it needs the proper nutrition to do so. I have found the following things work for me helping me rest better: Regular exersize and... Postassim and Magnesium, Bannanas, or Cherries about 1/2 hr to 1 hr before bed. Or Valarian root pills. (The peoples chemist has SeratoninFX (sp?) that is supposed to be good also.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensey Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I work nightshift so I can relate. I can never sleep at night anymore. Rough when everyone expects Mom to actually be awake and functional during the day and remember everyone's everything. If you ever can't sleep, message me. I can bore you to sleep!

HRider Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Get someone to send you a link to OSHA's Global Harmonization Training. It could put a three year old that was hyped up on Sugarbabies and Mountain Dew to sleep. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensey Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If anyone has insomnia tonight, you could always help me research the differences between qualitative and quantitative research using evidence based practice and peer reviewed scholarly articles to support your answer. Just sayin. That will put anyone in a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Technical manuals can do that also... Even if you are wide awake to start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 nothin but flowers, once there were factories... I find the best way to have a sleepless night is to get two good nights of sleep the two nights preceding. and the best way to get to sleep is to meditate.... I try to imagine what it is like to be an a cloud.it is a dull place. ain't nothing easy about it. falling asleep can be effort. I found a smart phone game called "void defender"it is pretty good at setting me toward sleep.the spirals can be hypnotic. luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
