LarlaB Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Its 4:15am where I live and I"m been awake since 2. Very, very awake. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Sorry Larla.... It is 5:34 here. New baby woke me up at 1:20. It took an hour to get him to stay lying down, not crying. By then, I was having a coughing fit (*still* getting over pneumonia) and was wide awake. Of course, we have a day planned where everyone needs to be pretty still and quiet most of it (not to mention leaving before 7am). That should prove to be fun. NOT! I already need a nap!

melissad2 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Me too...the baby woke me up at 2. I nursed him back to sleep and I stayed awake until 4:30! Now the 3 yo is wide awake at 6:45! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 :grouphug: I hate that. I really do. I've been taking Ambien every night for the past two weeks because I got into such a bad nighttime routine. Some nights I have that Ambien stupor that ladies here have reported, while other nights it still takes me 2 hours to even feel like I'm ready to fall asleep.

Kathryn Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've got an awful cold and have been up and down all night for almost a week now. I'm so tired by morning when everyone is ready to start the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've been sleeping like a cat for the last week. Up and looking at the clock every hour or two. I take a sleep aid and it's not working well this week. I am exhausted and am so glad it's Friday. I hope you were able to go back to sleep.

Some nights I have that Ambien stupor that ladies here have reported, while other nights it still takes me 2 hours to even feel like I'm ready to fall asleep. I'm so glad its working for you, even if a temporary relief. Sometimes we just need a BREAK from the night cycles!!! I've been trying to avoid stronger meds but am taking 'natural' remedies to help me relax etc.... I read a great book on sleep issues and am trying to follow the guidelines (get up when awake, don't just lay there: practice meditation and impecable going-to-sleep habits etc)- and for a week it really helped. Sigh- last night's episode was brought on by DS waking up because his fan stopped working. The night before it was the carbon monoxide monitor chirping- 2 very valid reasons, so I suppose I should rejoice in that, huh? My brand of insomnia has no discernible reason :) I really don't mean to complain so much as I know there are far worse circumstances in life...its just the frustration builds over such a meaningless stressor, ya know?
