I dont sleep well at night....i always tend to fall asleep about 1-2 hrs before my alarm goes off! lol I have this Herb Tea called "sweet dreams" by Bigelow that i drink often and it really relaxes me. I also watch tv and within an hour or so i'll start getting sleep again. My doctor told me that i need to get out of bed and not lay there when i cant sleep....and not to watch tv in my bed either. Bed was only for sleeping!
I bang on the ceiling to get the people upstairs to shut up! Last night they kept me awake until 4am - they were having a party, but not just ANY party.... it was a KAREOKE PARTY!!! Oh and musical chairs... all drunken, of course. Fun.
Lately I have had that problem myself. That is unusual for me. I sleep until about three thirty and then wake up every hour until time to get up. By that time I am exhausted from trying to sleep. Maybe I should just get up and join you folks on here.
I am a terrible sleeper- always have been. I've been a night person forever and medical training really screwed up my already irregular schedule. Our Dean of Medicine was recently citing a study to me that showed ppl who work night shifts tend to have more illnesses but I told her if that was for my benefit, I was sure I'd never change. Now I have chronic pain that keeps me awake and to take my mind off it, I read - books and online (and yes, even TCS, lol).
I was having one of those nights the other night when I found you all. 2 hours sleep and I was wide awake. I either read, look up those "things you always wanted to know and nobody would tell you" on the net or play computer solitaire.
