Wide awake?

[larkin]

Been wide awake since 3.50 this morning. Anyone else have an insomniacal problem - or does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve sleep pattern ?Driving me nuts!
Admittedly, lots going on in my world at the moment. GP has prescribed Amitriptilyne but I don't really want to take it.
Help !!

Stiff exercise works wonders for me and I sleep like a log afterwards.

your not on your own everynight i go bed sleep till about 1.30 then thats me all night wide awake,i even took my little girl out for a long walk and to the park to see if that would help but no ended up getting up at 4,then ill be shattered after.all i can say is it maybe your tablets that your on or your heads got that much going on at the min try to relax good luck

Cant offer much help I'm afraid but you're not alone. Seem to have got into a habit of waking for an hour around 3- 4.00am, which isnt much fun!!

You're back, havent seen you for a while, hope you're ok and everything helped at your 'meeting' :-) I cant help you either I sleep right through usually, but obviously things are troubling you at the moment.

PLEASE throw the amitriptilyne in the bin PLEASE...they should have been banned years ago......blooming worst tabs ever...they are the first ever valium that came into play back in the 60's...they have many side effects...not good for heart...

Morning larkin sweety xxx. Sorry to hear you didn't get much sleep last night. When the stress eases off it will get better, I'm sure. Try taking some Night Time Kalms before you go to bed and maybe a cup of hot chocolate or Horlicks. Perhaps hubby will go for a walk in the fresh air with you before you settle down? Otherwise a hot bath maybe? If none of these help I may be able to send you some tapes that will. Msn me and let me know. Big Hug :o)

[ummmm]

I find that drinking copious amounts of wine helps no end.

I'd rather be an alcoholic than a insomniac

[larkin]

LOL Ummmm !
Kwicky - what sort of stiff exercise are we talking here ?
Hiya 4Get babe. Meeting was good but very difficult - HR want to undertake full investigation - which starts tomorrow ( :o0 - so I have interview with investigating officer tom . p.m. Dread, dread. Good to hear from you - wondered where everyone had gone !
Sass - They made me feel cr@p so I haven't taken any for some time.
Carakeel - thanks love, will catch you on MSN. Walk for hubby would do his DVT good ....unfortunately, I am a REAL wierdo who hates chocolate !!!

just go to bed at a reasonably early time, and take Nytol for not more than a week, and your body will adjust.
