As usual, I fall asleep OK with a little help from a glass of wine or sleeping pill or both, but then I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake with all my problems racing through my mind. I cannot really remember the last time I had a full night's sleep with out any help from alcohol or sleeping pill or both. On top of that I have had this bad cough the last few days which is not so bad except that I also have a hernia which hurts a lot every time that I cough. I am supposed to see my therapist tomorrow. I had stopped seeing him the last two months and things were going better -aside from the usual insomnia. Now I am in crisis and really need to see him. So, I guess I will have some of that nighttime cough medicine to see if that helps my cough and helps me get back to sleep. Wow, a two for one benefit!

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz


Glorious sleep is on its way. . .
still coughing though . . .
(Wow did I just do a Haiku by accident?)
just saying.
About four hours after taking it.
So do sleeping pills.
Get a sedative instead. A sedative won't be addictive, and will give you a full night's sleep.
And won't ruin your liver. :)
What kind of sedatives do you mean? What names?
