Insomnia..

[Bobbisox]

This must be a terrible thing to endure, I have a friend who suffers this, I, on the other hand can sleep for nine hrs without a problem, we were in Bulgaria together just recently, the result was, she was very tired through the day :-(

[islasmum]

How does she manage usually? or is she like this at home as well. I have bouts of insomnia, sometimes for months at a time, and find that it gets a bit better if I'm busy during the day, and don't nap during the day, and don't go to bed too early. You are very lucky Bobbisox - I don't think that I have ever had an unbroken night's sleep - ever!

[Bobbisox]

Hi islasmum, I think she has always had this, it must be awful and I agree, I am very lucky with my sleep pattern

[redcrx]

yep, terrible.
on the upside though, she may be tired but she has more time during the day to get stuff done at a slower pace :)

[Bobbisox]

sarky git ...LOL

I feel it for her..

[Bobbisox]

Hi redrx, she feels washed out by late afternoon, I think she's tried different remedies without having to resort to sleeping tablets

[redcrx]

has she seen her GP?

[Bobbisox]

yes she has, he recommended plenty of exercise and not to eat certain foods before bedtime, and to try to get into a routine

[Bobbisox]

No you wasn't...hahaha

[redcrx]

well then she should go back and go for the tablets. If shes tried it all and nothing has worked then she has 2 options, accept that she cant sleep or take medication for a bit.

[Bobbisox]

ermmm her husband was the one sleeping with her Triggs, not me

.............a seeping friend?

[Bobbisox]

I think she's concerned she would become dependant on them if she tried them redrx but I know what you mean, sleep deprivation must be the pitts :-(

Bobbi....if she is ,say, your age and has this long standing problem with insomnia, then I cannot understand that dependence come onto it.

Wha is wrong with becoming dependant ( if this is what would happen) on sleeping tablets?

I don't understand it.
