I could have written any and/or all of those posts about being up. I try and stay awake as long as I can and that is usually about 11:00 or so here in GA, go to sleep rather quickly but I wake up at least once an hour every hour until I get so frustrated I just get up. Last night was an exception; went to bed at 11, up again at midnight to watch tv and check QB, back to bed about 1 a.m. and AMAZINGLY slept until 6 a.m. ! It will be a great day I'm sure.
I have to move into another apt this weekend so I really need all the energy I can muster to get ready for move. I'm only moving in the adjoining apt (other side of bldg) because my apt has black mold, but it still means getting everything ready to go. Plus, I'm having to wash everything down best I can before I move so as to not carry mold spores with me !
I can't turn my mind off to go to sleep. I either think of my quilting that I'm not doing, projects I want to do, how to re arrange my sewing area in the new apt; OR I try and borrow "what if's" to turn over in my mind.
I'm recovering from heart attack and stroke and was given Trazadone (sp?) as a sleep aid but it causes me so many side affects I don't use it....besides I don't like taking something that might be habit forming.
Too, I've been known to log onto the live chat just to see what others are doing at that time of night.
I can't sleep during day which is good. Plus, my body has this aversion to being in the bed once daylight comes....luckily the nights/darkness are getting longer !
