Ha...funny...I'm sure they were reading you to make themselves HAPPY.
I had some insomnia last week when I wasn't feeling well. Finally allowed myself a Tylenol PM and whammy, I was out. Only thing is I was a zombie the next day (and had to get kids up and out the door somehow). Man, I wish I'd thought of getting some writing done-good one :)
This used to happen to me all the time. I take Metarest every night now as part of my migraine protocol and sleep like a baby. That is unless I'm sick like right now and the dr puts me on an inhaler which kept me awake half the night. LOL
I'm reading your book, "Sweet Waters" right now, Julie and enjoying it!! Makes me feel as though I'm in California and can smell the salty air, hear the rush of the ocean waves. Ahhhhh. But alas, I'm stuck in my family room in Indiana. LOL
Last night I slept like a baby. Whoohooo!!! I was kind of hoping I'd wake up and get some work done. LOL
My husband is an insomniac, but I on the otherhand rarely have this issue. Especially now since the dr.s put me on Vicadin for my dislocated elbow. It has amazing side effects! :) lol - my youth kids have seen the my enjoyment of the side effects and one said very seriously, "It's a good thing you have Jesus!" lol thought that was cute.
All this to say, Vicadin is a helpful sleep aid, but in the wisdom of my youth kid, I wouldn't recommend it! :)
GLAD YOU SLEPT LAST NIGHT!!!
So glad you slept well last night Diann. Doesn't it just make the BEST difference? Have to drill that into my kiddos sometimes!
And thanks for the note about SW! Happy daydreaming...
What works best for me is after an hour or so of tossing and turning I realize that maybe God is trying to capture my attention so I ask Him who He wants me to pray for. Immediately He brings someone to mind. I pray and then I fall back to sleep.
I know, you're not used to deep spiritual answers from me.
Yes, Suzanne! I've done that, too, and it does help.
I have to tell you I love your new picture!! You look great!
*blush*
Thanks Diann :)
I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night, so I read. Dare I admit this? This week I re-read all three of Kristin's Ashley Stockingdale books between Monday and Thursday in the middle of the nights. Ok, it probably was a bad idea: I was so entertained, I was wide awake (!)...still, it was 100 times better than pacing the floor or looking in the frig for the makings of a Dagwood sandwich.
Dian, I have been plagued by the same thing and it is so hard having to go to work on two hours of sleep, not to mention waking up my boys for school.
I used to take melatonin strips and pills but for some reason they quit working. Unfortunately the only thing that helps me now is an OTC sleeping aid, but only if everything else fails.
A great way is to try to clear your mind and put on a CD with soft noises of rain and thunder, or the wilderness, something calming.
I hope you get some rest.
