Something in the Water, Maybe? tygermoonfoxx January 8 2003, 06:14:21 UTC

It must be something about this time of year. I've been having the same types of problems as far as sleep goes. At first I thought it was the caffeine but I cut that out a week ago and the dreams are still going strong. Maybe your subconscious is working on letting something go? The dreams I have, at least, seem to be of that type: a mixing of bits of reality and parts of the past in an attempt to let some parts of the past go. Either way, it's annoying. Brains are supposed to sleep when you do! If you figure out the cause or the cure, let me know :) In fact, patent it....I'm sure there are lots of folk who want to know. :)

May just be the allignment of the moon or something. I've been having oddball dreams, too. Sunday night I was in Paris, and someone stole a bomb to nuke Rome, and we were waiting for Milan to retaliaite. Monday night I dreamt I was being chased (always, the scary critters chase me) by python-sized rattlesnakes, and last night, though not scary, was odd-- I dreamt I was Tim McGraw singing Garth Brooks songs.

Wierdness abounds in the sub-conscious.

Maybe YOU don't think it's scary--!

I didn't sleep very well last night either, continually waking up for no readily apparent reason, after taking forever to drift off in the first place. Unlike you, though, a night without dreams is something to be concered about for me. last night's were mainly vain attempts at my brain to expunge itself of the stupid computer game I've fed it constantly in the past week or so. -Frisk

This sounds like a job for.... rhanlav January 8 2003, 10:22:53 UTC

Emergency Pants! No... wait... Sorry. No, this sounds like a real good reason to invest in a box of tension tamer or sleepy time Celestrial Seasonings tea. I found both work WONDERS at taking your very overactive mind, and flattening any sorts of bad things like that... Really, it works for me when I have that same system.

I have Bailey's Irish Cream, does that count? ;)

Does it count? Well, not EXACTLY... The idea is relax your mind, not wrap a slice of lemon around a gold brick and hit yourself with it. ;) Both methods work, but one kills braincells.

But I suppose in the end, the choice is more what you have nearby, when your in the situation. So, if you have tea nearby... use it. Hot teas are great during cold weather like this.

But make sure it's not a Caffeinated tea!

And a small amount of alcohol is not likely to kill brain cells. It is a depressant, after all, which means it will ultimately make you sleepy. Just don't use it a lot... even if just as a sleeping med, drinking it by habit is Alcoholism.

But MMMMM! Irish cream!
