(I do the pillow punching, sheet pulling too). Oddly - the remote works fine on the TV in our bedroon - but not the OFF button. <br /><br />Becky - We have those sound machines - always have a loud fan going. <br /><br />My back went out Friday afternoon. Can't sit, stand, walk etc - I can lie flat. Perfect Timing. I'm working in the office this week - sitting at a desk. It's an 80something mile drive one-way. More sitting. No writing, really bugs me out 'cause I've been on a roll. (I'll even pay for adding this comment.) And worst/best of all - my grandkids are flying into town this Friday for a visit. <br /><br />Cross your fingers - I only have a few days to recover.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-48181679422309257942009-06-29T14:09:07.969-04:002009-06-29T14:09:07.969-04:00Oh boy.

Do you sleep better with a fan going?<br />Good luck to you!Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-1449357072918057832009-06-27T00:42:15.608-04:002009-06-27T00:42:15.608-04:00So sorry, Dave.

It helps me to slow down way before bedtime. Lower lights and less or no TV or noise. This is a problem with Joe around. He likes to go to sleep with music or baseball on the radio. A lot of passive aggressive behavior on my part...loud sighing, banging on the pillow, blanket pulling. You get the picture. <br />Have you tried visualization? Pick something. Laying on a raft in a pool in Monte Carlo? <br />Wishing you luck sawing those logs!<br />Love that painting of the pirate ships! Is it going in the new book?Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170604990646150200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-10043083630983757442009-06-25T19:05:40.693-04:002009-06-25T19:05:40.693-04:00Careann - I'm always thinkin' about someth...Careann - I'm always thinkin' about something - not usually stressed. <br /><br />Keith - Not too big on alcohol myself - a beer now & then. <br /><br />Joylene - I've tried Benadryl - It works but I have to take it early or I won't get up for work. <br /><br />Part of the problem is schedule - If I get on a roll with writing, I will keep going - sometimes until 4 or 5 AM (weekends) so that probably has something to do with it - oh & the Rolaids.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-71566574619816183122009-06-25T17:30:10.175-04:002009-06-25T17:30:10.175-04:00Keith's right.

Have you tried Chloratrip...Keith's right, Dave. Have you tried Chloratripoline? sp? or Sudafen? Or some other allergy medicine? Works like a charm for me. I don't dare take the stuff in the morning or I'm on the sofa the rest of the day. But one at night, when I'm desperate, works great. <br /><br />Actually, I never think of them until morning. But a week ago I was bit by an insect on my upper cheekbone and my eye swelled shut. I took one Chloratriporine and felt groggy all day. I finally had to buy some Reactine because it doesn't guarantees not to make you sleepy.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-61523727093469792082009-06-24T21:54:41.587-04:002009-06-24T21:54:41.587-04:00I have trouble sleeping sometimes.

It's a great sleep aid when we're young, but it lets us go to sleep but not stay asleep when older. <br /><br />I discovered without surprise that allegy medicine gives me a great night sleep. I think my allergies will be acting up tonight, in fact. I could use some serous z's.Keith Pyeatt, author of paranormal thrillershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823860449145957932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-81092592652645892842009-06-23T03:01:50.095-04:002009-06-23T03:01:50.095-04:00While I was having health issues last year I found...While I was having health issues last year I found I couldn't get a decent night's sleep. It took ages before my mind would turn off, and then as soon as I finally nodded off it seemed a coyote barked right under our bedroom window (tho' my DH didn't hear it), or my bladder called, or I remembered some undone chore like ironing a blouse (not white... never white... I can't keep a white one clean for ten seconds) that simply wouldn't wait until morning. It was infuriating. I finally quit fighting it and chose to consider it bonus time to plot and plan my novel. (I have a notebook and battery-lit pen on my bedside table so I can jot notes in the dark.) It took a few months but now that I'm not so stressed most nights I sleep quite well. I hope your insomnia doesn't hang around that long. If my experience is any indication, I suspect that the harder you try to sleep, the less you will. Oh, isn't that an encouraging thought? I'm soooo helpful. Sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
