Friday, Praise the Lord. I am so tired and weak. I back to sleepless nights. Does anyone know when you will get a sleep pattern going that will be normal. I can't keep going like this. All I do is stay up. I feel horrible.
TGIF, yes! I agree. I also haven\'t found my \'new rhythm\' yet. My 14-year old daughter and I were up after midnight last night and we just can\'t seem to get into a healthy, normal routine. The doc prescribed sleeping tablets just after Clive died, but I think I\'ve taken maybe 3 in all the 9 months - I certainly don\'t want to become dependant on them. The only thing that helps me is reading until I can\'t keep my eyes open, or I put the TV in my bedroom on \'sleep mode\' and drift off to sleep while I\'m watching, knowing that the TV will turn itself off. My daughter insists on sleeping with me (she\'ll know when she\'s ready to sleep in her own room) and this is what works best for her, too. I must admit, I am so blessed by the fact that once I fall asleep I hardly ever wake up until the morning, thank God. It\'s just GETTING to sleep that is the problem. (my overactive mind rules over my tired body) Now that it\'s spring, I\'m going to try and get some exercise, even if it\'s just a short walk or cycle ride - EVERYONE says that this will ensure earlier nights. Maybe you wanna try it too? Praying that you\'ll have a really happy Friday and a refreshing weekend.
