Embracing insomnia: sequel

by husbandorcat @ 22 May. 2006 - 13:52:03

True to form, although I went back to bed at 4:30, it still took me the standard 2 hours to get back to sleep – finally dozed off around 6:30, to be woken again at 7:30.
So, I was awake for 4 hours, and slept for a total of 4 hours.
I remembered the other thing that p*sses me off about all this, apart from feeling spaced out, headachey, unable to concentrate and forgetting everything.
Waking at 5 is OK, because then I can get up at a reasonable time. But waking at 2 or 3, as I have been doing lately, is the pits, because I do eventually fall back to sleep, but then I wake up late (usually around 8-8:30, though yesterday it was 9, and I was going out at 9:45), which means I get a really late start on working, which messes me about for the rest of the day.

It's been like this for years... but then, I've probably been stressed for years.
I've tried most things (counselling, aromatherapy, anti-depressants, meditation, yoga, hypnotherapy...) I keep on trying, but it does get a bit discouraging sometimes. Never tried reiki, though.
Thanks for caring :)

Further to Carpedium's comment - Stress is far more common among those that feel powerless than the highfliers...

Oh well- happy to send you some reiki if you like and think it would help... or you can find a local reiki person if that is more appropriate... not sleeping is a sign something is not right, the question is what and once you know, what do you want do do about it?
