Can’t Sleep Again

5 Replies

Hit the sack about 10.15pm feeling really tired, wakened after only a couple of hours sleep, been dozing on and off since. I don’t sleep during the day so it’s a bummer when this happens (about 2-3 times a week).

Watching movie Another 48 Hours, hopefully I’ll drop off watching it with a bit luck🛏💤🤞

insomnia is the worst. it makes me want to slap someone, if only I had the energy. :-) have you tried supplements &/or sleeping tablets? I was taking 70 melatonin (that's 350 mg), 20 Benadryl, and ambien and it took me a couple of hours after I swallowed the last pill to get to sleep. I told my doctor and she freaked, so I stopped. we tried some other tablets and one of them actually works! here's wishing you sleep. stay strong.

Sympathy and empathy- I think my insomnia is cyclical, I never look at the clock but dislike the effects hugely!

Dropped off through the movie, woke up around 0600, 06.30 with a leg cramp🙄

Funny old World is it not.

Never mind though, sitting with a hot cup of Jasmine tea watching Last of The Summer Wine😀
