BAH HUMBUG!!!

 

I took 2 ambiens & 2 melatonins at 3:30 AM (my normal bedtime). I’m still waiting to fall asleep. No way was I driving out to my sister’s house & back, so I get to spend the day alone, watching Xmas episode reruns and sitting in front of my computer eating frozen food that’s been in my freezer for a year or so because I’ve never been in the mood for it.

 

I repeat, BAH HUMBUG!!!

We have the choice to make our own joy or our own misery. Merry Christmas just the same. My guess, you probably did not really want to see your sister.

Insomnia sucks big time. My worse fight with it was I was up for 3 days. Omg I looked so bad by the time I finally crashed. People I knew kept asking if I was ok. @samhexum I hope that you were able to get some rest.

 

Hugs,

Greg

Thanks. Never slept... just laid in bed for hours. Story of my life. I often go 2 or 3 days with little or no sleep.

The flu targeted my Christmas weekend with a precision that I have not experienced before. Felt it coming on last Wednesday. Seems to be stable now. Fortunately I have the time to just vegetate for a couple more days.

SO SORRY to hear this. I’ve been through the same. Best advice I ever got: don’t lie in bed trying to get to sleep. Start reading a book (in bed or out). It’ll get your mind redirected and you’ll get sleepy — unless you don’t, but in that case at least you’ve read something interesting.

Believe it or not, this works ... at least a little.

 

Open and close your eyes as fast as you can to 100 blinks.

Wrong. My niece & nephew are in from college, plus they just got a dog I haven't met yet.

I’m sorry this happened. My question is have you ever seen a sleep physician to help with the insomnia.

Many, many years ago I used to suffer bouts of insomnia. I was told that the one thing I should NOT do was remain in bed as over time my body would become accustomed to associating wakefulness with being in bed. Thus I used to get up go into the living room and read or watch television. Eventually I was able to overcome the problem. You might want to consider trying this approach.

Surprised no one has mentioned it, especially on this forum. If reading doesn't work have you tried jacking off? When I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep I do this. Its a cliche but for me it works most of the time.

(Could allude to another Seinfeld episode, but I won't )

Jacking off certainly works for me too, @Gadfly22.

Granted I wake up 4 or 5 times a night but jacking off helps me get to sleep faster. If I don't jo I just lay there for forever.

There's an app for that.
