  fallyn, can you analyze when your insomnia kicked into high gear? if you can, did any additional pressures or stresses enter your life at that time?
  
  i had a bout of insomnia myself a few months ago and it was stress related to work in conjunction w/ caffeine consumption.

  I have fads of insomnia, luckily mine never last a week or longer, maybe you could take sleeping tablets? just to get yourself a couple of good nights sleep?
  
  your not embarrassing yourself here, dont ever think that, nobody here that I have met is judgemental anyways!! I have hyper moments quite often :-)

  Fallyn, is this a dopey idea? Stay awake for 24 - 36 hours with no sleep at all - not even a cat nap! would that work do ya think? - or just make you over tired and really screwed up?? Just a thought anyway.   :-)

  yeah....it was when my mother started thinking she needed to remodel the house....right NOW of all times......i'm in the middle of custody stuff.
  
  it might help our case to have the carpets replaced and the living room repainted...but i can't see how.
  
  i'm in counseling once a week, a 3 hour life skills class once a week and a  2 hour domestic violence support group once a week.
  
  i have no money.
  
  not really any hope of getting a real job right now...the counseling stuff is too important.
  
  it does't seem like much time spent on it.....but just dealing with everything......
  
  it takes so much.

  fallyn, consider picking up a book on meditation at your local library, or researching it online. you might find that helpful.

  hmmmm, there's a thought

  You've got a lot on your mind and it's hard to turn your thoughts off when it's time to sleep.  I daydream myself to sleep when that happens.  I dream of a life where everything is wonderful, my husband is healthy, we're rich and don't have to work, I live near my sons, they're all happily married...stuff like that.

  all i would think about is wanting my kids back and building a family with the guy i love.
  
  then i'd get sad.
  

• Fallyn said on Nov 01, 2007....

  not a new family....but combining the two families.

  Ahhhh! This is the worst! I can't stand not being able to fall asleep at night. I am so tired during the day and think that I will actually go to sleep at a decent hour. Well night time rolls around and its like someone gave me 6 shots of expresso or something! It has been impossible for me to fall asleep before 1:00am or 1:30am. Errrr... 
  
  
  Maybe try some Vick's Nyquil Fallyn. Sometimes that works for me, but then sometimes it also knocks me out then wakes me up after about three hours. I also find working out during the morning or day, (not evening or night), helps me get tired enough to fall asleep pretty early too. Hope this helps :-)

  i think one thing that helps is wine or something...i'm not a big drinker...so just a glass and i'm relaxed...but that gets expensive...and i'd be scared of turning into an alcoholic....or NEVER being able to get to sleep without it.
