I can't sleep and it sucks =[

im sooo bored, everyone has gone to sleep so im all on my own.

i dunno when the last time i had a full nights sleep gah its so annoying :(

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night;
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night.

Angels watching, e'er around thee,
All through the night
Midnight slumber close surround thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night

While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night.


(.......hope you had a good slumber......)

( no, that's not me. I wish. )

Sleeping, not sleeping...oh wow, can I relate.
I am lucky to get 5 hours a night, and that is with the Ambien.

What is your routine?
Do you take sleep aids...
I wish you well, as the rejuvenation process of sleep is so empowering...not to mention blissful.
Take care,

MissSammie.x,

Doing some exercise or going for a long walk can help you sleep better.
Avoid eating and drinking late at night. If it keeps up I would have a word with the doctor because lack of sleep tends to bring more problems.


(Howard_C, Lovely song by the way)

It's a Welsh folk tune / hymn.

There are nice recordings in English and in Welsh (or Cymraeg), but the instrumental was so nice, especially as a lullaby.

I expected to just post a link but it became embedded.


FYI - I just discovered a sleep forum, under the heading "sleeping"

i thought it was lovely too :)

my doctor already knows that i havent been sleeping much for ages but she doesnt want to give me anything cuz of my age...same with my depression

and i think she might that since i dont really do anything during the day it doesnt really matter when or how much sleep i get..i duno lol.

even if i do exercise or if im really really tired i just cant seem to sleep :( i just toss around and get so fed.

Argh. . .I had a night like that on Saturday. I spent the whole evening in front of the computer playing The Sims because I couldn't relax enough to fall asleep. Around 4:00am I decided I might as well just pull an all-nighter since I always end up being more tired if I do snooze for a couple of hours before having to wake up.
Hope you eventually caught a few z's. . .

man ,my meds just got adjusted from 20/20 ir ritalin to 30/30
20 20 was like i wasnt even on meds
i was talkin 500 mph as usual again and gettin alot of nothing finished .
worse is sleep went from 6-7 hrs down to 3-4 a night
so hopefully new dose will let me sleep and concentrate again

Woo i managed to get to sleep about half 3 thats the earliest in a long time!

Only to have got woken up by my lovely niece at half 6..
