I can sleep fine but i do not sleep that long lately. I am up till one in the morning and laying awake at 4am in the morning. This site is one of the few things to engage in at 5am in the morning.

Anyone else notice sleping patterns effected.

As you know, I have been awake since 1:00 A.M. Then a started drinking (blahhhh) coffee.

So the answer is yes, for the past few nights. I'm going to go lay on my couch with a super warm blanket, an aspirin and one of dogs with a soul and take a nap.

I have to say that I take something for sleep, and I could not function without it. Your body needs to go into that deep REM stage to get the full rest that it needs. I don't know what I would do without the meds. I would toss & turn all night I suppose.

I've had chronic insomnia for about 35 years now. I sleep an average of 1.5 to 2 hours a night and its in 20 minute increments. This is with the help of 3 sleep medications. I've been studied and tested and medicated over and over and there hasn't been any solution. I've exhausted every sleep medication approved by the FDA as well as some that are experimental. At this point, I dont get tired anymore. For the first 10 years or so I was tired all the time. But now, after more than 30 years of this, my body has simply adjusted to this pattern and I dont think it will ever change.

I HAVE HAD SLEEPLESS NIGHTS GOING ON 4 YRS NOW. I HAVE BLAMED THIS ON PERIMENOPAUSE, WHICH IS A SYMPTOM WITH ALOT OF WOMEN WHO SUFFER FROM ANY SORT OF MENO. I TAKE A NATURAL HERB FOR SOME RELIEF. SOME NIGHTS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. BUT MOST NIGHTS ARE BROKEN UP HOURS OF SLEEP.

Imfclcls you should be easier on yourself and take credit for living a difficult and challenging exisitence. Not many people could handle your burden and go on with life.

I wish you could enjoy your life more than you do.

Barr, I have learned to get out of bed when I am awake. If I do not the thought train gets in high gear.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
