It is 3:20 am and here I am online with Xanadu on the tv in the background. I have been having the worst trouble sleeping lately. I wish I could say that this is unusual but it isn't.
2 nights ago I stayed up all night after lying in bed for 2 hours and not falling asleep, so I got up. that day I napped about noon for 2 hours only. I think I could have slept if I crawled into bed around 7pm but I couldn't do that because I had to stay up to get my daughter to bed. By the time I got her to bed I had gotten that stupid second wind.
It wouldn't be so bad if was actually productive while I was up late, by I am not. I try to do things that need to be done, like paying bills, adding ebooks to my ebay store etc, but I just don't have the focus.
No matter when I go to sleep I do manage to atleast get up and get my duaghter to school but my mind is definately suffering from the lack of sleep. I am having trouble focusing on anything.
My husband thinks I am nuts. He seems to think that I am staying awake on purpose. Oh how nice it must be to have never experienced insomnia. Oh well that is life.

cagney, are you unable to sleep because of stress or something else in your life? changes in your diet, any medication, new stresses? i would think that those things need to be looked into.
i hate to ask this, but have you tried any over the counter sleep aids?

ed, I am sure it is from stress due to the last year of job hoping and financial problems because of that. I suffer from depression and I have been fighting it again for a little while. The sleeping issue is fairly new though. I have started taking my depression remedy again.
I have not turned to sleep aids yet but I think I am headed in that direction. I really hate to take pills but 2 times in the last week I have not slept at all. It is getting too bad.

please consult your doctor about possible drug interactions before you taking sleep aids--there could be problems.

not getting enough sleep is very bad cagney... maybe you have been thinking about something too much... I do have insomnia but when i get to sleep 2 to 3 hours of undisturb deep sleep is enough for me to last for another 24 hours.
