My sleep issues have now finally reached the point where my sleep cycle has been flipped over on its head completely, and I'm back to the sort of hours I was keeping years ago, when breakfast was at 6pm. These days I feel constitutionally unsuited to this kind of pattern, but the choices in combating it are fairly limited -- I can use some of my ( Read more... )

So after more than a week of wretched, insomniac nights and barely getting any sleep and gradually being more frazzled, I finally gave in and took one of the remaining Ambien CR ( Read more... )

On the second day of flat-out insomnia...barely cat-napped last night, but did get a couple of hours the day before. I hate when this happens.

I'm trying to encourage at least a brief shutdown, but if this doesn't correct soon I'm going to be switching to audio books rather than Stargate SG-1 episodes. I'm loathe to take pills....

I'm more or less wide awake and pie-eyed and looking askance at 6.30am on a temperate Wednesday morning. This is pretty much due to me hitting a black cycle yesterday, riding on the end of a lengthy depressive downswing. I woke up for a little while during the morning, lasted a couple of hours, and then proceeded to simply go under the waves. I ( Read more... )

It's definitely been a rough few weeks, but there are signs of hope and recovery, I'm happy to say. Admittedly it's taken pretty much a medical bombing run to get this far, but my lower legs and feet are right now heading into remission. There is still scaling, and there are other issues, but the pain is now minimal and for the most part my legs ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm wide awake and pie-eyed again. I fell into bed ready for a good few hours sleep, my ankles and feet started hurting, my internal clock did the mambo, and that was more or less that. I think I might have cat-napped sometime over the next two hours and change, but seeing daylight gradually fade in finally did me in, and an hour or so ago I ( Read more... )

There seems to be a rash of insomnia across LJ this morning, and I'm afraid I can once again be counted amongst that group. I went to sleep last night well enough, with music playing and all that. I woke up around 4am, went to the bathroom, and couldn't get back to sleep. Not even flipping through the TV channels did anything to help ( Read more... )

Went to bed, legs not all that much of a bother.

Two hours later...legs pretty much a bother. Sleep? None.

If I'm awake much longer and concentrate I might as well rerecord my Reed lines. They got kind of banjaxed.

One of those insomniac nights, and I'm not sure what the exact cause is. It didn't help to have Ophelia yawp in my ear at 4.30am, especially as that was followed by Karma wanting out, but neither was the cause for me not sleeping in the first place (I did nod out for a little while, but resurfaced fairly quickly ( Read more... )
