The only way (lately) I get 6 or more hours of sleep is with medication. Seeing the doctor about that (and other issues) tomorrow!

I used to sleep fantastic when I was younger. Didn't start dealing with insomnia until my ex-husband left me. Now it's slowly getting worse. I get up about the same time everyday (7-7:30) and go to bed fairly consistent between 10-11. Sigh. The worst part is being so tired all day. No energy.

I had the exact same problem. I finally decided to ditch sleeping pills because I was having weird vivid dreams. I switched to Melatonin. It helps me relax and I take it when I need it. I still fight to sleep but it's been better over the last two years.

I have those anyway! I go into Alpha State most nights before falling asleep or I lucid dream. It's really....... unsettling.

The Alpha State is actually how I plan out the plots in my books.

Melatonin knocks me out so hard, I don't wake up until 1-2 days later. That's my problem with any sleep aid (or most cold/flu/sinus/allergy medications). I'm too freaking sensitive to everything!

That includes touch. I'm ticklish everywhere, including my tongue and the palms of my hands. I can tickle myself. However, it's very painful most of the time so I hate it!

Have you looked into holistic medicine? During the last two days I was home. I watched all the TV I wanted. I got hooked into Veria channel. They had amazing recipes to create homemade remedies. I suck at making homemade medicine, but somehow this channel made me curious. I have added this channel to my Favorites. :D
