Babblings of a sleepless wanderer

Finally catching up on some sleep makes a difference entirely on how I feel. However I am suffering with pain from a missed Doc's appointment without which all of my symptoms have acted up and I am acting out as a result in odd ways. So My alarm doesn't even work, and the phone isn't waking me once I do finally sleep.
I get into bed, only to sleep. I learned to never use your bed for anything but sleep, and never nap. Never to excersize before, nor watch a stimulating movie. I had a routine downpat, utill safty wtih a missing deadbolt key came up causing the safe feeling in my head and home unstable. No wonder I couldn't sleep.

Hi Lonewolf. I have just twigged that part of my problem is similar. I was sat there last night and I realised I cannot switch off because I am on red alert all the time. I have a partner that smokes weed, although not in the house, he also is a poor sleeper and he is up and down all night. I find it hard to relax into a deep sleep because he often falls asleep in the room with the tv on and the fire etc, I cannot rest because I am thinking about the costs of that and also the fact that he has been known to leave the gas on or fall aslepp on top of the fire. I feel so frustrated with him.
Last night I was drifitng off and I suddenly had the worst feeling of evil in my room, I parayed for it to go away and then I felt violently sick, then i realised the smell of his weed had drifted off upstairs and thats what made me ill.
At least i know now what my problem is. lol . I hope you are ok x
