i am relatively new to this group, i have been on DS for a while now, but my insomnia is getting really bad, i used to go to sleep around 2 a.m., but lately it's getting to 5 or 6 am and i'm just starting to feel tired, and as i don't work much it is never a problem, but wednesdays i start and 930 and work til about6, so anyway it's nearly 4 am right now, i have to work in 5 hours and i am so wide awake it's not funny, i laid in bed for a while, then i got up and folded washing, now i'm back on the computer. i fear that i won't sleep b4 work, and if i do i'm worried that i will not wake up in time for work, and i can't afford to do that. uggghhhh. lol. whats everyone else up to?

I'm just going throught the different groups I'm part of and reading what everyone's talking about. it's still day light on my side of the planet, so, I'm usually on while everyone else is sleeping. I've been taking Valerian root 2 hrs b4 bed and it's been doing it's job! I haven't had an insomniac night yet even though I'm in pain half the time. Well, I'll be around if you need to talk. :)
