OT: GGGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I'm as bad as a two month old baby!  I guess I have my days and nights mixed up!!  Here it is 2:30 a.m. and I'm totally NOT tired! Now, I'll really sleep all day tomorrow!  This is NOT cool! At least I did get a few loads of laundry done over the past several hours!

I went through a phase like that shortly before my surgery.  My PCP put me on ambien, which I only took for two days because I didn't think it was helping. He recommended that I turn the TV off at 8:00 and find something to read until 10:00, at which time I turn out the lights.  He stated tha****ching TV before bed makes it hard for a lot of people to sleep. I tried this for one night and was miserable, as I love watching TV as I drift to sleep, but his ideas may work for you. Good luck! Cathy

i hate that it happens all the time to me. I always wake up at like 4 am and cant fall back asleep..most likely because my bf snores like madd!!! i have to go lay on the couch but even then I only fall back asleep about 40 percent of the time... Im lucky if i get 4 hours sleep a night... I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep

Yeah, I got up to get the kids off to school.  Serena (14) gets herself up and then wakes me up when she is ready for me to drive her...   Then, when I get home, I wake Miranda (9) up and she pretty much gets herself around too, but I have to set an alarm to know when to take her to school or else she'll watch Cartoons all morning and miss half of school!  lol  Today, I had to argue with her about taking a shower though.  She thought since they were going to the park for most of the day today that she didn't need to shower (only to sweat again)...  lol  I said, it doesn't work that way!! So, after kids are at school I sleep again!  I finally get up around 12:45 this afternoon and just got showered, started another load of laundry (yeah, laundry is NEVER ending around here) and here I sit...  In front of this computer screen with OH!   One 1/2 hours from now I have to take Serena to play practice (Macbeth), pick Miranda up from school, and start on homework.  ANOTHER day down the drain! Cathy,  I have some medicine my doc gave me a few months ago to help me with sleep.  I will either take some tonight or try your NO TV (computer) method.  I don't like to take sleep aids because then I end up wanting to sleep my whole Saturday away :o( Dot*
