Viv - I totally went and looked on that website you brought up on another post about the "fucking ball" or whatever it was. I laughed out loud for a good 5 mins when I saw it. Hahahaha!

I FINALLY SLEPT ALL NIGHT.. YAY ME!

Good for you MsViv!!! If there was a trick to it could you please share it with me? I hit on 4 1/2 hours but not a straight through 4 1/2 hours which is usually the case for me.

yep. me too. i think i get a full 8 hours of sleep about once a year. the rest of the time i am usually the 4-5 hours range and wake up to go pee or something of the sort. i think i woke up 2 or 3 times last night. but it was just to pee or roll over and go back to sleep. so not too bad rest wise. at least for me.

Leather, you don't want to know my trick - it involved a concoction of things that shouldn't have been concocted - but damn it worked and I'm not groggy.

LOL......my mind doesn't handle concoctions well, hell I can't even take a damn low dose sleep aid without my mind playing horrible tricks on me.

Oh well, I've gotten away with 2 to 4 hours of sleep a day for a long time and it hasn't killed me yet.

Funny when I'm at partner's I sleep a lot better most of the time, I get the sleepless nights only once sometimes twice a week. Goes to show getting my kinks fulfilled on a regular basis is good for the soul. ;o)

Leather, if you want to try a non-concoction, taking sublingual melatonin and calcium before bed can help. It does work pretty well and helps to decrease some of those racing thoughts. But i wouldn't suggest it every day as it can interfere with natural melatonin release if used on a consistent basis but a couple times a week may work well.

Have you ladies heard of the sleep disorder, Fatal familial insomnia? It's where the sufferer loses sleep gradually until they fail to fall asleep at all and eventually dies. O.o That would suck

Thanks Life, I tried using that didn't do anything for me. Tried chamomile tea and other herbs and supplements too.

Oh sorry. Was hoping to give you a new idea. Sounds like being with your partner more often is your cure then. He is "medically necessary". Hopefully soon you will be able to be with him on a more frequent basis. ;)

I love tall, older men with big strong hands. Hence I am irresistibly attracted to the Vince Vaughn lookalike that has moved into the flat underneath mine and want to ask him for more than just coffee, but fear, when he asks what I mean by more, I am just going to wimp out and say "pie" or "cake".

Also, I regularly have dreams where I am flying around places at night, then when I wake up with a jolt, I'm really pissed off to find myself back in a world where I can't do that!!

Flying dreams are usually when you are somewhat awake. If you are feeling happy about the flying, good feelings about the flying then It usually meant that you are in control of a life situation, or on top of the situation.
If you are having Problems staying afloat in your dream it could represent situations that you can't get a grasp on and are floundering through them.

Write your dreams down when you wake up. Read them over at another time and they seem to make sense.

Of course ibom wants to suck in my tits... Who doesn't?

@ sparkljewel, remember when pie and sexual innuendo get together, everyone wants a piece. Titties are.made for sucking, right?
