insomnia again

[mellowtigger]

It seems to be happening a lot this year.  Very annoying.  It's been a peaceful night with few muscle twitches, at least.

It doesn't help that T'Reese comes at 4am and bats my face with zheir front paws to wake me up for food delivery.  I was already awake, though.

I'm creating a new livejournal tag for "insomnia".  *sigh*  I suppose I should go back to find my previous posts and update the tags there.

Aw Terry, it is 3:56 AM here and I am having a very similar insomnia episode. I just sat at the computer and I am working on a class presentation that had me worried to see if I can get a bit sleepy afterwards and sleep a little more. A common lettuce tea almost always helps, but don´t have any at this time. You may try it if you have some! Big hugs, Luis.

Interesting. I knew that lettuce juice had psychoactive properties, but I wouldn't have thought to try it in a tea.

5:37am, and I can see light appearing in the sky already.

It´s 4:39 here now and just read your comments. Tell me if you try the lettuce tea and works for you! I have finished the presentation and I will crawl to bed now and try to have at least a two hour sleep. Wednesday is my hard day at work! Try to get some sleep my dear friend! Warm hugs, Luis.

Have you tried Melatonin?

I have tried it, with mixed results. Sometimes I'll actually fall asleep, but then there's a chance that I wake up later not actually feeling rested. Like the sleep isn't very "productive". I dunno. :(
