I slept almost this entire day AGAIN!!!

I wake up late!

I'm up for a few hours.... doing nothing!

Then I nap for a few hours!

Then I'm up for a bit!

Then I nap for a few more hours!

This is BAD!!!

My summer break and this is how I'm spending it!

I just feel like I could sleep my life away!

I am not depressed!

I am just very tired!

Wow, we must be twins. I have suffered from insomnia my whole life. Saturday, Sunday and this morning, I just couldn't get enough sleep. I would wake up for a couple of hours and then go right back to sleep. I have been fighting it today

Your body knows what it needs. Stop fighting it ladies. I gave up ions ago. If I am tired.....so be it. Nap time. lol.

Can I put another spin on this......... LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY you!! I swear I wish I could just relax and sleep sometimes. My only respite from the anxiety and panic is at night when and if I am lucky to get some sleep. Ughhh!! It's funny for every complaint there is someone who wishes they had your "ailment", lol.... Nighty night ladies.... sweet dreams.

Yes, I know. It would not be so bad if this was what I wanted to do. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Hi TW must be stalking you....

You know, that is why they call it the Lazy Daze of Summer - because of the heat, it can wear you down you know? It is very hot here...no air conditioning and it is very draining on us.

You have a lot on your plate too I am sure, and your body is desiring to calm down by sleeping.

Please hang in there, and don't give up!

Love
Suz

I agree with you Mich, I LOVE when I can sleep and take me away from this nightmare. Last night, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep, I went to bed at 9:00. I told my kids (11 and 14) that I was going to bed and to make sure they turned the lights out. I didn't care I was so miserable last night with the anxiety/nervousness and lights being too bright and the feeling of unreality, enough already - lights out!!

Hi Suz,

Yea, it is pretty hot down here in the tropics! The humidity is what makes it so bad! Thank God we do have air conditioning! I think I would have me a portable unit on hand for times like this, if I were you. I cannot take the heat, not even for a moment.

Thanks for responding! I'm just bemoaning what feels like lost time, but I will get to spend the day with my baby Rebecca this Thursday, so I am looking forward to that.

School starts pretty soon and I'll be complaining about that too! I should be grateful whatever season it is!

Love you girlfriend,

bev

I really get what you mean about wasted time......

But the way I see it, TW, you are so lucky you are in a position to sleep whenever the mood strikes you this summer!! What a nice break! Think of the poor people who have to work full time and can't sleep the day away.

Also, remember you body is trying to heal itself from an iron deficiency that may have been there for YEARS!! You probably need the sleep. Maybe when your iron levels get up to normal you will not need as much sleep. Plus really, you have been thru a LOT the last few years, maybe your mind and body has finally said "ENOUGH", and is forcing you to rest.

Take care, I hope the heat lets up soon.

Big Hugs!!

Wow you just freaked me out a little... LOL

Reading your post, and you mentioned "tropics", and I thought, dang where is she from "Florida".... So I think hey nother Floridian.... Kewl...

Then I see "Rebecca", and I was say what....

Too funny...

See, my name is Rebecca and I live down here in hot steamy tropics of Florida too....

As for the summer I work for the school board, holy you know what, I just looked at my banking account, oh my!!!! I need to get back to work and make some $$$$$.... I don't think we have ever been this broke.... Ahhhhh... Oh well, it is what is, come on pay day!!!!

I work for the School District also, Becca...... and my grandbaby is Becca too! How cool is that!!! Oh!!! I live in FLorida too!!!!

Hey Floater!!!!

You do NOT know what I mean about wasted time. You don't waste any time!!! hehehehe I know how you spend your time and it's NOT sleeping, it's PAINTING and MORE PAINTING!!! And WALKING for MILES and MILES and MILES every day!!! I"M JUST KIDDING!!!! But you need to be wasting more time!!! Time at our age is meant to waste!!

Yes, Float, I am very fortunate to have this time to rest. I feel very bad for those who do not have that luxury and I really DO understand what it's like to go and go and go with no end in sight. I spent most of my life with NO rest! Unable to rest! Not good rest anyway!! So, I've needed this for a very long time.

Thanks for the encouraging words and as always............you're the best!!!

Much Love and many hugs,

bev

Hello
I'm an imsomniac and wish I could sleep on my own. I used to take Ambien CR and it worked great at first then I was getting up every hour and staying awake at 4am. So now I take Klonopin at night at works great but if I have anxiety I will get little sleep. I cannot fall asleep during the day UGG.
If I could just sleep on my own all night I would be sooooo happy!!!

Dear 'chaotichar'
Insomnia is the pits
I too have some bad nights.The Doctor gave me a product called Stilnox.It does the job.I try to manage on half the tablet but if it doesn't work will take the other half.
I never allow myself to sleep during the day or I would be up all night,
If I feel drowsy I walk around tending my plants or take a warm shower
The weather here in Jordan The Middle East is a killer
Usually cools down around half past nine in the evening so I fling open all the windows just to get some breeze.
I always laugh when I read of people looking for that "Place in the Sun'It can make you very lethargic.
Am British and love the rain and bracing cold!
We are a funny lot.Always wanting what we can't get!

Sweet Dreams
Elizabeth
