I can't sleep unless medicated or till I'm so tired I just fall out like the power has been cut off... waking up in pain not so much for me but I am a light sleeper sadly

Hmmm, I do think I recall that word somewhere....let me think....I sleep roughly 20 min at a time and always have my pain wake me. I have learned to rest my mind without sleeping, not exactly sure how i do that, but something switches in my mind and I'm alert and refreshed again. Must be some Zen thing I do. Now I sleep whenever I feel the need, I'm truly becoming like a cat, they have trained me well LOL Blaine

Hiya, SnL..
Long time no see.

Yep...sleep is definitely disrupted by pain.

Hmm..maybe I'm lucky the " little ones" in my life are grandkids..
And go home with their parents..:-) :-)

I would kill for one night of decent sleep and then wake up when Ive had enough! Sometimes I think the lack of sleep is almost as bad as the pain.

I take gabapentin at night and most times Tramadol so it knocks me out but it does wear out by morning . Before I was on Gabapentin I did not sleep through the night at all.

I take Rozerem it ls awesome it calms my mind so my thoughts are not going a hundred miles an hr. I also take three unisom on top of that. I sleep in anywhere from one to three hr intervals & yes pain always wakes me it never really leaves me. I hope your able to find something that helps you.

Hugs & God Bless

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
