Midnite or bit after is pretty much normal for me. After all, I gotta get some writing done in the evening. But that "wide awake at 3am" stuff just ain't right.

Try every few hours; based on what I looked up when I had a similar problem, it should be all working by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Re: The cranky thread So the reorg got announced today and some of my guys didn't take the news very well. But that's okay, I wasn't able to be in the office because I was filling out a police report for the burglary at my house. So I'm out a laptop, two older iPhones, and every piece of jewelry the wife didn't have on her at the time. Oh, and an airsoft pistol. And now I have to change every password I own, and get a credit report, and, and, and. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadanNaBriona Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Re: The cranky thread A friend of mine died last Friday, sitting at his desk. Sleep Apnea plus Pneumonia. He was my junior by several years. I can't shake the feeling that he died from being too poor for proper medical coverage and too proud to work the system and go to the ER for a "cough".

There isn't anywhere with a lower crime rate unless I move to like Japan or Singapore. No one is hurt, and the kids aren't freaked out about it, so it could be a lot worse. I'm starting to wonder if I kicked a puppy somewhere and didn't notice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all' date=' I gotta get some writing done in the evening. But that "wide awake at 3am" stuff just ain't right.[/quote'] Midnight is my dividing line between "early" and "late". My target no-later-than bedtime is 2:00 a.m. In the last 30 days I have not been to bed prior to my target bedtime more than three times. Only once was this prior to midnight. On too many occasions this means I went to bed and had to get back up again because I could not sleep. Depression seems to make waking up to face the day difficult and anxiety makes it hard to relax enough to sleep. I've been like this for several years. You have my sympathy.

SatinKitty Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Re: The cranky thread I do not sleep well either. I suffer from Wild Monkey Brain when I lay down and also anxiety. I also have Sleep Apnea so when I finally do fall asleep it is not good sleep. I'm exhausted these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinKitty Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Yes. I have tried three different masks many times. I simply cannot sleep in a mask. The Nose Pillows dry out my nose and that keeps me awake. I hope to lose more weight, hoping that will fix the problem. I'm not sure though because my Cousin is skinny and always has been and she needs a mask also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadanNaBriona Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Re: The cranky thread to my various fellow insomniacs, you might find this interesting... I've been finding this has been matching my sleeping patterns anyway, so embracing it has reduced some of the anxiety that can become related to getting enough rest The myth of the eight-hour sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Re: The cranky thread I'm not worried about the eight-hour sleep so much as getting at least two REM cycles in, which I haven't been. Between little kids needing to go to the bathroom at 1am, my own stress-related tossing and turning at 3am, and kids waking up early at 5am, I'm lucky if I get one.
