I just have this need to ramble on about totally unimportant stuff at the moment!!
So, day 9 of this current insomnia bout.. Normally my insomnia pattern is pretty easy to fllow.. 1 week great sleep, 1 weeks okish but not great sleep, 1 week baaaaad sleep (unable to get to sleep but fine once asleep).. Well it seems to have screwed up this time.. I had 10 days of falling alseep OK, but waking up 5 hours later extremely figity, unable to stay in bed and just getting really wound up with my husband being in the bed *lol* Then, 9 days ago it switched to not being able to get to sleep till atleast 4am, and then waking up at around 7:30 - 8 really fidgity and annoyed.. Its messing with my head big style.. I'm not napping during the day (even though I am exhuasted until the second I get into bed at night), drinking only one coffee a day, no soft drinks with caffiene.. And the biggest problem si when I am up in th enight I am STARVING!!! So damned hungry I eat a horse.. luckily I don't keep munchies in the house so I can't pig out.. but I think the hunger then keeps me awake even later.
I'm drinking cammomile tea when up in night to calm me.. trying everything I know of.. marajuana isn't helping, my wonderful zopiclone sleeping pills aren't helping, and last night I took 10mg valium (diazapam) and all that did was make me go wobbly.. but no sleep till dawn.. (so about 5:45)
I've tried warm bath with lavander oil in it before bed, lavander oil on pillow case..
I'm not stressed about it as I have nothing to do during the days.. but it IS making my head go really really mushy and strange... on a different planet kinda mushy and strange.
And I'm smoking SO much..Oh well, just todays ramble *l*
