Sleep Disorders?

[Moridin187]

Hey everyone, I know I'm still such a virgin on here, eheh, but I thought I might as well start a thread. It's 5:21 AM and I'm still awake, namely because I'm an insomniac, and they say that something like 30 milllion people in the US alone have sleep disorders. So, who on here can't sleep?

 

[scylis]

i don't ever sleep.

never.

my body remains in high gear 24-7. i switch to a different personality when i think i "fall asleep", and he stays up all night and makes soap. you might have heard of his company: Paper St. Soap Co. it's quite sucessful in major department stores.

 

[Moridin187]

Good job scylis. Sleep is for the weak.








Can't sleep, clown will eat me.. Can't sleep, clown will eat me..

insomnia? I don't have it. It has me!

Insomnia
by debbiexxx ©

Frequently sleep does evade me
Yet I continue to search, endlessly
For this inhuman, reclusive non entity,

An elusive moment in time or place
Sleep has no human body or face
Yet I still seek it’s relaxed space

"Tis human to err, to make a mistakez"
And yet often, from slumber, I awake
Hoping, The all knowing my soul will take




Insomnia again rules my life
by debbiexxx ©

Late at night, sleep is an elusive creature
I see before me the corridors of my mind
Each night runs the same double feature
I cannot sleep, sweet slumber I cannot find

You of the blessed, sleep undisturbed, peace
I instead toss to and fro and turn or lay prone
Fantasise I do, of warm sleep a wish or caprice
To find, touch the Mistress’s magical sleep throne

To find an end to the tortures of a sleepless night
My body screams, I need sleep but the demon wins
I seldom dream, hoping for a sleeper’s helper, sprite
Wondering what ails me, so confess my many sins

I drag my weary body through the next day, hoping
Needing to find a cure, I ache all over, I wish to fade
Give me peace, pure bliss of a few hours a sleeping
Is it a disease, incurable, I feel so empty, betrayed

Twisting, turning, thoughts jumbled in my mind
Am I perhaps insane? Have I forgotten my madness?
Through the corridors, bends, sleepless resigned
Praying for sleep, my body cries, oh please bless

Enrich my tired body with a calming, serene peace
Fold the quilt upon my inert, quiet, slumbering body
Endless nights, eternal never-ending evenings cease
Find me where insomnia cannot reach, I beseech thee


BUT taking Kavakava helps.

chew some belerian(sp?) root and get some good, honest sleep (can sleep be dishonest, really?)

Very nice poetry Debbie. And scylis, nothing puts me to sleep. I've taken a quadruple dose of valium before and been up for two days afterwards. My doc says it's all mental.

Thanks for the comment on my poetry. Have you tried self hypnosis or kavakava?

I'm completely immune to hypnosis, something about an inability to trust and trust being a requirement to be hypnotized I guess. And what is kavakava?

Please Dear God,
Tell Roo to sleep more often as Mommy needs her sleep.
Amen
P.S God where were you when my baby no 2 decided (after birth) that 20 mins was enough sleep before he started screaming? HuH? And I just have to know where you where when he thought that every three months was cool to have a growth spurt and he HAD to be breast fed every hour or so?
AND I just wanna know why he has to grow an inch every month now and wake me in the MIDDLE of the night to tell me he CAN'T sleep when I have INSOMNIA???

P.P.S God if you do this to NSW and NS and baby to be Roo...I am gonna kick your ass!
P.P.S God, I am sorry that I said I would kick your ass but please ignore me and bless NSW and NS and dear Roo!

And some people wonder why I'm in no hurry to have kids...

 

[Lost Cause]

I usually stay up till around six a.m. PST. I'm afraid I'll miss something! I get home from work around two a.m., turn on the TV news, turn on the radio news, and go on-line to the news services. Kinda hard to shake deep military habits, especially when our brothers and sisters are in harm's way. I really enjoy the posts on the Lit, they keep me sharp, amused, and sometimes annoyed.

I am thinking of starting to take naps during the day, seems to work with kids.

Insomnia

I was once stricken with insomnia. But we started putting our patients on Melitonin. You can buy it at a health food store. When you are ready to get sleep, dim the lights and take 2 of these pills. Not only do they help you sleep, the are great anti-oxidants. Vinny
