I sleep and sleep and wake up tireder than I was when I went to sleep.

Master has just gone to bed.......at 10am. He was up all night He had to go for an early morning blood test so it was hardly worth going to bed only to get up 2 hours later. He has a doctor's appointment at 3pm today, I hope we manage to get Him there

I had about 4 1/2 hours sleep.....I woke up and missed His cuddles!

Well He made the appointment but it was a struggle to wake Him I crashed out for over an hour on the couch while watching the news - woke up in time to cook dinner

Here's hoping He can get some sleep tonight, I know I will

I slept for an entire hour and a half, then realized I was sleeping which woke me up...ARGHHH.

I can't stand to lie in bed and try to get to sleep when I'm not sleepy, and the experts all agree that that's not good anyway.

So I long ago started just staying up until I'm so sleepy I start to nod off, or I just feel myself start to run out of steam. Or completely run out of steam.

Then I toddle off to bed and I'm asleep as soon as I lie down.

I am currently not sleeping well by choice. It's very frustrating.

I take a benzodiazepene for my sleep disorder. There is a problem with tolerance with these. I used to take a half and now I take two.
In one of the books, it explains that this can be cured with a "drug holiday." In other words, not taking it for a while ends your tolerance. Problem is, the longer you're on it... and I've been on it for years.
So, one solution is to go off it on weekends. I would be miserable. Also I am on the longer acting one so this wouldn't work for me.
Another solution is to take a week every once in a while. So that is what I am doing.
I don't even REMEMBER whether I took my meds when I was sick. I think so.
So this is my week for now. After this I will try to go back to a half but will probably take one, for a while. Then it will go back up to two...
March Break is my next chance, then the summer.

I haven't taken any since the 1st and I can't. Fall. Asleep. Even with my sleeping pill.
It's driving me nuts.

I'm up puking.But I'm still up. Joy.

 

[esclave_PP]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. yeah. mine hit too....was up till 4:30....sitting, staring at the ceiling. awww hell. I hate not sleeping.

 

[shy slave]

Its 2.30am here and I can't sleep.

I am dog tired and have loads to do tomorrow but here I am staring at the computer instead of in bed.

One of the reasons is guilt.

Andante is working on some things for me that I need by tomorrow. I can't head for bed knowing he is still working on my behalf, and I can't do the work myself I don't have the skills.

I tried to sleep, I went to bed but guilt got me up again.

Denmark is an hour ahead of the UK so he has to be up again in three hours

I really love him for so many reasons but knowing he is giving up a warm bed and sleep for me is top of that list of reasons tonight.


Ahhh I am going alll soppy now

 

[shy slave]

I am bored

All this working from home in the middle of night is ok, but when its slow I get bored.

Nights off just mean I am awake wishing I was working or sleeping.

Did I mention I am bored?

Its 4.30am here.

I would head to the love shack thread but all that online sex stuff just isn't me, I get bored easily *sigh*

Years ago when I had to talk on the 'phone or I was wishing I could sleep, I used to play with my pubes.

I don't even have them now.

So......I could do some laundry whilst I wait for work, or play spider solitaire or wander over to the GB, or I could sit feeling sorry for myself

Decisions, decisions

lol

I do....

but I just bored and putting off going to bed and am not really into on-line sex and I am a bit shy...

 

[shy slave]

I do....

LOL

Night work is great for insomniacs as long as you can keep busy, but when its not, its no fun at all.

The advantage of night work is I can sleep all morning and not feel guilty.

When I worked in the real world and had insomnia the next day I was knackered by 4pm, would fall asleep and then not sleep at night...again

Sooooo sorry. Can't help you there. *sigh*

You can take care of my kids so I can sleep - then you won't be bored, I guarantee it.

So sweet and self sacrificing of me to allow that, I know. *bats eyes*

I was ready to go to sleep two hours ago, but if I did I'd be up at 4:30 am for the rest of the day. I have not being able to get a good deep full nights sleep.

How wonderful of you to suggest I have the children just to ease my boredom.

How could I ever thank you.
Your really are toooo kind

Its hell isn't it, although if I can get to sleep late evening I don't wake up early.

I have never been good at mornings, now I sleep them away and am a perfect angel when I get up

 

[shy slave]

do you think she might bake us some cookies?

I bet if Gracie baked them she would only admit to making half a batch and then we would have to beg for those

*sigh*

Off to make breakfast soon, then try and get ready for sleep around 6am, dreaming of cookies (and Andante of course!)

 

[graceanne]

Doesn't matter when or where I sleep I don't get more than one, two tops, hours sleep before I gotta get up and walk around. Frankly after two hours both my arms go to sleep, and my knee starts to hurt.

I can go into bottom space and beg - for cookies...

Cookies? I didn't make any cookies. *brushes crumbs off dress*

Shank don't be fooled she is trying to pretend its too late too beg, but I bet she has some hidden somewhere.

 

[Shankara20]

no cookies *sigh*

might just as well have a drink then....

*bummer*
