is there an insomnia thread

Perhaps...

No caffeine after 4.00pm

No white screen viewing after 7.00pm ( TV, phone, tablet, PC etc )

No alcohol

Go for a walk after tea/ dinner

Take a paperback book to bed

Take a pen and paper too so if you awake with a great new invention on your mind you can scribble it down knowing by daybreak you will be a millionaire

Repeat

Cut out white screen viewing, alcohol, coffee? I'd rather have insomnia.

phimosis? I didn't know what this word meant - so i looked it up in the dictionary
I really don't understand why this would have anything to do with insomnia?

Another night of trying to sleep for the last three hours - gave up - got up and shopped on e bay very therapeutic. Started Christmas shopping not therapeutic. How many sleeps before Christmas? Thats why i cant sleep because in September October and November Christmas worry sets in and start i plan prezzies in my head in the night.. I always want Christmas to be fun and exciting for the kids and I start to make prezzy's for them to save money and shop for all the bargains. The stress and worry is ridiculous but it sets in every year..

That makes me sad

I am sure forum people can come up with some great low cost ideas to help you ..(?)

Perhaps give yourself a deadline ,say the end of November , to finish your present making and then chill out in December..

I haven't slept properly for about 3 weeks now :(

Too many unhappy things in my life to be able to forget about them...


I am sorry to hear that

I stand by the advice on white screens, caffeine and excercise and also suggest writing things down you wish to forget on a piece of paper, then turn it over and stick in the bottom of a drawer


Although I realise this will sound simplistic and not fully appreciate your current situation
