INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Chrissyb, good thinking....I wake myself up with too many tasks and have to reverse the order. I will try. I think the melatonin is starting to make me drowsy...I'll try and hit the hay a little early for once....even though it is 1 AM here!

It usually only takes about fifteen minutes to start to get relief and about half an hour before I'm good to go.

Try and Sleep well MsBliss!!!

i THINK i NEED TO GET SOME mELATONIN.  AND LEARN TO TYPE BETTER. caps!!!!!

I too have Gurd and that is why I was using the prevacid every day. I read something about it could cause colon cancer so I thought to use less of it. As if doing further damage to my esophagus would be a good idea! Duh!!!!!!!!   I will be back on them regularly now.  

I gave up coffee during chemo when it tasted like shoe polish to me. I still can not stand the taste of it. I suppose that was one good effect of chempo, well other than killing cancer cells. Haha.

I don't think it is the foods that cause me much of a problem but the haitus hernia letting the acid come up. I forgot how afwul it feels.

I hope everyone gets some good sleep tonight. I have my days and nights backwards. I have nost of my life but the funny thing is that I love the early morning. That tells me this crazy internal clock of mine isn't a choice I have made. 

Chrissy she told me she lived less than an hour south of the city (if i dont remember wrongly).  Her hubby and her run a $2 shop and I remembered she mentioned they have around 5-6 stores in town. 

Hi Shiela, I see you're up.  Did you wake up or have you not gone to bed yet?

Shiela my night has yet to come, it's only 9.00pm here so I won't be in bed for another couple of hours.  If I go to bed earlier, I will be awake a 4.ooam and I won't be able to go back to sleep.....been there done that and have decided I don't like it.....lol.

The sports bra sounds like a good idea and head up feet down is good too.  I had problems with supporting my joints while I slept and found I was waking in excruciating pin in the morning....particularly my knees (they both need to be replaced but I'm not entertaining that until next year) so I bought myself an air mattress but don't fully inflate it so it has some movement........I have never slept better and no more knee pain when I wake!!!  The cost?  $25.oo!!!   So that was $25.oo well spent.

A vibrating bed?!!!  Oh my goodness!!!  I've never heard of that but there again, here in Aus just a normal bed is very expensive so anything that is out of the ordinary is prohibitive!  I do know that adjustable beds are available but not sure about the vibrating variety.  I can imagine that it would promote wonderful sleep!

Sleep well Shiela!

Love n hugs right back at you!  Chrissy

HI Nancy...I never posted on this thread before i thought I should say Hello

So what should we discuss?

Nancy....I like some craziness thats why i posted.

Hi Sheila

Of course i was. Are you in a need to burn someone?

I also type with 2 fingers so chatting is not for me.

Once i tried it was very confusing everybody talking at the same time. I dont do well under pressure.
