And if I get out of bed to try to occupy myself in something to make myself sleepy, I just feel so alone.

I'm now fully human (I assure you). <BR/><BR/>Of course coffee & tea have it too. <BR/><BR/>Do take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-1158361441077943972006-09-16T07:04:00.000+08:002006-09-16T07:04:00.000+08:00Kiyotoe: Boy oh boy, that's a tough assignment: fi...<B>Kiyotoe</B>: Boy oh boy, that's a tough assignment: finding a sleep-inducing method besides self-carnal methods or consensual carnal methods.

Like you, back then i could sleep all day at the drop of a dime. These days, not so much. There's one thing guaranteed to knock me out everytime and probably the rest of the male population, BUT if you figure out another non-carnal method that's effective, please share.Kiyotoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867549192061623141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-1158344829184356552006-09-16T02:27:00.000+08:002006-09-16T02:27:00.000+08:00Hi Gale!

I actually try to avoid commercial pharmaceutical formulations as much as I can, since I'm afraid of becoming dependent on (or immune to) them.

Yes, I did get some sleep. This kind of insomnia doesn't happen too often, thank heavens. Usually it's just regular insomnia. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Mimi</B>: Reading sometimes wakes me up even more!

I've given up trying to figure it out. :-) <BR/><BR/><B>Lyn</B>: Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to give it a try next time. Sorry about the comments problem, I wonder what's causing it?

I felt like you were talking about me. I have major sleep issues. What I have started doing lately, is to recite a few prayers and then I crash. And thankfully, it's working :)<BR/><BR/>Earlier, my problem wasn't only insomnia but if luckily, I managed to sleep, then quite soon, I'd find myself awake because of recurrent nightmares.flaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608444097834518404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-1158306125447044432006-09-15T15:42:00.000+08:002006-09-15T15:42:00.000+08:00yeah. those days when the sheet just refuses to st...yeah. those days when the sheet just refuses to stay on, and it's in this perennial I'm-on-a-roll mode. literally all balled up and bastardly. when the tossing and turning not only screws with the sheet, literally again, but also with your back. <BR/><BR/>yes yes.

If it is not serious and doesnt happen consistently, not to pay attention could be a good way to keep it far from you. Like bees. When you just walk and don't touch or do something which attracts them, they don't touch you but if you try to make them far from you, they attack! Sometimes it is better not to pay attention. But of course i talk for problems which aren't enough serious to care ;)<BR/>Hope you wont have any problem related to that.<BR/><BR/>See you!<BR/>OsmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-1158299054048797692006-09-15T13:44:00.000+08:002006-09-15T13:44:00.000+08:00Finding Nemo.

You can't sleep; then you worry about why you can't sleep; then the worrying keeps you up.

I also have permanent ear damage in one ear so that ear rings constantly. I share this because it is a horrible pain trying to tune it all out and fall asleep at night.<BR/><BR/>The nights when it is all too loud for me, I stumble downstairs in my sleep deprived stupor and post comments on other people's blogs. <BR/><BR/>The only problem is that I'm so tired that I'm not paying attention when I comment and usually end up making lots of folks mad at me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-1158290415667496802006-09-15T11:20:00.000+08:002006-09-15T11:20:00.000+08:00I sympathize, Lizza, I do.
