No sleep for me

I can't sleep. It is driving me crazy.

I once tried Ambien...not a good experience....it ends with the stripes of my comforter coming to life, the ceiling fan coming to get me. My doctor had experienced a similiar reaction. So that way to get to sleep was out.

Lunesta, Sonata...don't work for me.

I got the whole list of "sleep hygenie"...practiced that (don't do bills in bed, before bed, make your bedroom relaxing environment, etc...). No help.

Melotonin...this helps this is the only thing but I still have these nights where I take the Melotonin...but 2 hours later I am wide awake...ugh.

My doctors recommendation just go with it for awhile, he says my body will eventually get tired of 3 and 4 hours of sleep a night and get into a pattern. Oh yeah this will be a fun pattern to get to....I can see me functioning for a week on 3 hours of sleep a night. He also said that my body may not need a full 8 hours or may not be capable of it...well then why the heck does it crave the sleep.....he couldn't answer that one.

So instead of sleep...blogging here I am, next is email, and if I still can't get to sleep online shopping...oh boy...of course that will just get me excited and keep me awake...but hey Christmas is coming I can use my lack of sleep to get busy on shopping. So I guess there is a plus side to this...even though hubby and checkbook might disagree...LOL.

I usually can't get to bed feeling tired till about 1am and then up at like 7-7:30am with the boy's and once in a while I get to sleep till 8 am LOL. But that's still more sleep then you are getting. I hope you can get more soon!!!(sleep that is LOL)
