Insomnia rears it's ugly head...

[tribalw0lf]

I still can't sleep.  I experience insomia from time to time...Do you?  If so, I have a question for you.

What do you do when insomnia hits? (tylenol pm is not working)

1. I clean, when I feel up to it.  Tonight, I cleaned the kitchen and I sorted recyclables. 
2. I sorta watched a movie on tv.  Open Range.
3. I played ticket to ride online. 
4. I read for a bit.

Depends on how bad the insomnia is really. Some nights if I can't sleep, I'm online chatting. Others, I'll be up cleaning. If it goes on for more than one day I exercise/clean in an over-the-top fashion to try and exhaust myself. If it goes more than a couple of days, I go to the doctor and get a prescription. Having spent a March awake, I'd rather not repeat it.

It's more sporadic for me. It doesn't happen so much that I need drugs from a Doc. It hasn't happen in a while. I finally went to bed at 5:30 this morning. I woke up to a curled up kitteh on the bed with me.

Yeah, the sporadic I do the same sort of thing.. Though really, the *first* thing I do is put Chopin on and listen to it. I conditioned myself to relax and tune out when listening to it in University. lol! Still works now.

Do you need sleeping pills?

[tribalw0lf]

I don't get it enough to start on sleeping pills. Besides, I have horrible nightmares when I take them.

Do you take naps in the afternoon?

[tribalw0lf]

nope, I'm not much of a napper. It doesn't make me feel better. I end up feeling like I'm dragging and I'm usually groggy.
