![]() It's 3:42 am over here and already I've been awake for a couple of hours. It feels like my brain is about to shut down on me. Almost every morning I wake up at around three o'clock in the morning and struggle to get back to sleep. I can't help it. Any suggestions.

![]() Hmm. Any large amount of stress in your life? That always causes me not to sleep. Usually I just read a book (or write one

![]() Not really, I've been like this for a few years now. You'd think I'd be used to it but... *shakes head*

![]() If it makes you feel any better, a close realative has the same problem as you. Can't sleep, but is always tired. It went away somewhat, but for the life of me I don't know how

![]() Dandelion tea helps me a little, but not at the moment, I always seem to wake up 2 yours before I'm suppose to and then can't go back to sleep, at the moment I'm getting up at 4.30am to go to work, so am waking up at 2.30am - scary!!

![]() Lay still and think about the engery drain out through your feet, when your body feels heavy, empty your mind and focus on the colour blue and only think about blue, and you will drift to sleep!
No guarantees, but it works for me every time. ![]()

![]() I typically use a sledge hammer. Works well with me and the added "make-over" look in the morning is just grand.

![]() When I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep I put my on my ipod which has every episode of Quantum Leap saved and I pick an episode and fall asleep dreaming of Sam and Al. Works everytime as it takes my mind off not being able to sleep and just totally relaxes me.
Last night I watched Permanent Wave, but can't remember much past Sam and "family" being shot at in their house.

Is there any strees or worry in your life at the moment, Alyssa? That might be what's causing you not to sleep. Anyway, it's nice to meet you too. ![]()

No trouble sleeping at the moment, had minor surger Thursday and have been out of it from aneasthetic ever since (hence spelling mistakes) Also feeling really REALLY down, worse I've felt for a long time, obviously a side effect, I can't stop cyring! Needed to come to Al's place to cheer myself up. ![]()
