INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

I should be getting to bed but watching TV and playing on the computer.

Hi Anne,

Generally eveyone falls asleep when they are very tired but when we are tired and drop on bed and just vcant get the sleep, that means your body is tired beyond its limit. It needs to be taken care before putting it to sleep take  a nice walk, read books, eat a litlle chocolate from the refigerator and than go to bed ddont see the clock and sigh for the hour you have been tossing on the bedding to sleep. try these. 

Hey SAS, just got on the old puter an here I am!  Wadup girlfriend?

Hi Shinning!  Sorry you can't sleep, even to nap in the afternoon.

Brokendreams try taking your Arimadex at dinner time.......sometimes that really helps with the sleeplessness. I have also heard that Lyrica can help with the symptoms of restless legs.

I would stay and chat but for the first time in ages DH and I have been invited to an Art Opening so am heading out.........I though I would check the boards before leaving and saw your post.



Hopefully you will get some sleep soon.



Love n hugs. Chrissy

Hello - new to this thread but not to troubled sleep.



Mostly, I was looking for a place to share a cheerful surprise that happened today (um, actually, yesterday afternoon!). I got home from rads to find a package at the mailbox. Given that we werent expecting anything, it was a surprise. It was an even bigger surprise to see my name on it. Once into the house and settled, I called my partner so that we could open the box sort of together since he wasn't going to be home that night. It turned out to be a hand stitched cross stitch sampler with hearts, flowers, and big letters spelling out (edited for propriety) "FU** CANCER" from an online friend whom I've never even met in real life. It was beautifully wrapped with a lovely note. It was so touching, and such a lovely surprise. We're moving soon and this will definitely find a prominent spot wherever it is we end up.

You awake Chrissy I am Dh is watching cricket and I am playing games.

I saw that. You must have needed it. One of the younger ones on the Kiwi thread has just found out she is now stage four. Told to to look for you but you might like to visit us Kiwis and chat to her. I think she needs it.

I suspect Dh is actually asleep.

Chrissyb, this may have been asked before but, do you know how many milligrams of Melatonin is safe to take?

Thanks, chrissy. I take 3 mgs. but it doesn't always work. It's good to know I can take a little more if needed.

I am Carolpr56, but it's only 7:30pm Sunday here.

Damn hot for the middle of winter or maybe I am continually in a hot flush all day.

Probably a bit hot under the collar after watching an hours debate between our two major politicians trying to win a federal election in four weeks time.

Who knows......

Sheila.

I've been waking at 4 for several months now...sometimes I can get back to sleep. Not always. And now that I've been (re)diagnosed, well...I start chemo tues and I just want to get ON with it!
