Can't get no sleep
I don't know what's going on exactly but for weeks now I have not been sleeping at all well. I've never been what you might call a heavy sleeper but recently I've not gone past one hour before waking up. I try to go back to sleep but wake up again and so on. It's been so bad recently that I've taken to getting up and going downstairs - sometimes only two hours after I went to bed.
I know that partly it is due to my diet which has been poor for a while now but alongside the sleepless nights have been some very involved 'stress dreams'. I will have these dreams that start out okay but then suddenly whatever is going on starts to unravel and I'm the only person around that can put whatever it is back together again. I had a dream the other night that I was organising traffic and just when everything seemed to start flowing well another road was opened and it got worse. I actually had to pull myself out of the dream and Patrick heard me saying "enough!" as I surfaced. The worse thing is that the dreams exhaust me and I end up falling asleep all over the place.
I'm considering buying some natural sleep remedies to see if they work but I do have to try and figure out what's going on long term.

I do hope that the sleeping fairy visits you for Christmas and gets your sleeping patterns back on track. I am sleeping a lot better since I got my asthma medication sorted out. I have not got up at 5am to do my ironing for a long time. There is nothing worse than Insomnia - I've also found that if I am in bed by 11pm I sleep through to 6am OK. Hugs.xx
Heya Fella...Been a long time!
So far as bad sleep is concerned, I've found a rather novel solution.
I point a fan so I can feel the light breeze on my face...(yes, even in winter!) and I sleep beautifully!
Even is I need another blanket, I sleep so soundly, it's well worth it!
Good luck!
