Insomnia Chat

I'm going to try reading to see if it helps.  I was too worked up before - crying.  I've stopped now though so should be able to get back to my book.

I watch horror films on the horror channel to take my mind off my inability to sleep.

Gosh insomnia is blooming awful.  My head in a negative loop so can't sleep

Eep I hope your daughter is ok!

I would recommend loose leaf skullcap tea and L-tryptophan. You can mix the tryptophan with the tea. It sort of promotes healthy sleep. Also, melatonin capsules work, but you have to make sure not to watch Netflix or anything like that before bed.

intriguing,, could we make a Neflix series out of it ?

I have skeletons from my past that keep me awake.

If I didn't have a conscience I would sleep ok 

just being an ass

That sounds good. I am sleeping a little better now. Mainly I was waking up early because I am stressed out about my daughter's physical health - long story. But feeling more positive now. 

Did I ping or something? 

How are you doing? How is your sleep? I hate nightmares and worrying dreams... when you can't escape your unconscious!

I can recommend some good things that work for insomnia if you want? Just offering, I don't want to give unsolicited advice.

u woke me up !

Hi, insomnia veteran here.  

Once again I couldn't get to sleep, I ended up back at my TV watching late night/early morning, 'A touch of frost' and DVD, 'IT crowd'.

When I finally got to sleep after 3am it was full of nightmares all about money problems, the only detail I remember is being hounded by the tax people for extra tax on a work perk that I didn't use because I didn't know it even existed.  This perk was: I was entitled to half price coffee at a bus station coffee shop while waiting for a very early morning bus to work.
