Its only a phase!!
Joined this site today, hoping to find others in the same boat as myself. Its somehow comforting to know that others are in the same place as myself. Just want to talk to people who share this problem and understand when you tell them you could not fall asleep all night long, or only got two hours sleep the previous night etc etc.
If anyone is out there later on, I would love to talk.........

- cool, i just like the idea that it can actually help people that suffer from insomnia - it can be very lonely, but even if its just a place to meet other people from around the world then it is all good

- Ann, This may not be very smart but this is my email kfh@hughes.net.
And back the birhtdays up.....I'm only 56 as of Sept. 10th. LOL My son turns 18 tomorrow. I remember 18 years ago very well....1 1/2 hr. ride to the hospital, full moon, the equinox and Will was born 20 minutes after getting to the hospital. What a ride!!! It's 6:30pm here so it should be 11:30pm there. Hope you get some sleep. I'll write more later. You can email me direct at the email address above then give me yours.

- Hello Ann,
I've actually gotten some sleep the last 2 nights but it was after getting up 3 times. At about 3am I laid down on the couch and fell asleep for about 2 hrs. I think that on a good night I probably get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep. But that's rare and it seems never without interruption. My mind just races too much. Unfortunately nothing productive ever comes out of all of that thinking. I just end up looking things up on the computer or watching television until I'm too tired to stay awake.
I've been trying lately try to force thoughts from my mind and focus my thoughts only on steady breathing and visualize slow moving scenes of rivers, mountains, or the ocean. Sometimes it actually helps.
But what I don't understand it why I feel as though I have to get up! It's one thing to wake up and just lie there but I wake up and I have to get out of bed. I'll have some yogurt and get on the computer. I just can't seem to go back to bed right away ........................................and this is where my computer cut out on me. I had a feeling this would pop up again somewhere. I hope the other message went through or else nothing is going to make any sense at all. It probably still doesn't. That pain killer has really kicked in. Time for some sleep I hope.

- Hi Ann, I hope you are getting some good sleep. It should be 12:30am your time. I'm chatting with people on facebook and doing laundry. I'm hoping to sleep through most of the night. I only took one nap after getting up a 2:30am. I'm tired. I wish it was easier to tell if a person was online. I have to look through all the pages and look for the little green dot. Oh well it passes the time. Talk to you soon. Karen

- I understand what you're going through...I was up 3 times last night and finally got up at 2:30AM. I just got onto the computer and tried to start an online chat room that would give better results than this one but it's been blocked for some reason. Oh well, it kept me entertained for a gool long time. It is now 4:00pm here which means it is 9:00pm your time. You are 5 hours ahead of me. I'll leave you a message before I go to bed so that you will have something to read if you wake up tonight. Hope you don't and you have sweet dreams. Talk to you later. Karen

- get on facebook ... it's free and safe and the only way I could communicate with my daughter that was in China all summer. It would be alot easier than this page but I'll keep trying.
