2nd day in a row of no sleep. Can't get to sleep...can't stay asleep when I finally do...zombie Rachel time.

Anyone have any non-drug advice to fight off a bout of insomnia?

sex usually works for me

Hmmm. Sadly, the girlfriend is rather busy this week, and I'm not sure I'll make it to Friday night without sleeping. Gonna need another solution. XD

Do cold medications or motion sickness over the counter (benadryl, dramamine) make you sleepy? Just a little bit might do the trick. Eventually, though, you WILL fall asleep - worst thing I used to do with insomnia was doze off constantly during the day. I even fell asleep at my desk one day.

Afternoon, folks.

Hello. I think a major storm stayed just south of us. Wind really picked up for a while and the temps dropped, but not much rain. Fingers crossed.

I've told you, I can't help you in that department.

Have you been eating enough? If you are skipping meals again that could be giving you insomnia. You are skinny enough!

I know you can't...besides, my dance card is FULL.

Have not been skipping meals, despite this past weekend making me want to desperately. Whether I eat enough is always a matter of debate, though (I think I am, other people don't always have the same opinion).

I heard that this year the state will not have a drought and the reservoirs would remain full through the summer. I think I was 3 or less the last time that happened! Now if they could just start pumping it into the aquifers so that it'll stay!

Grr.... I was looking for a good "Don't feed the Trolls and ignore the humans" graphic for Orc and I can't find one......

Not my fault if you have a harem!!! Sometimes monogamy has perks!

You need to be good girl and eat better. You might try taking up napping. Then if you are up for a little while, you can relax again and then try to go back to sleep. Get that whole 3 hours down, 1 hour awake, 4 hours asleep thing that is reportedly natural sleep.

I dunno. Always got my heart broken more in supposedly monogamous relationships than I ever have since going poly. And there's nothing wrong with my harem, just saying that I'm currently not accepting new applicants. =D

I am a perfectly good girl, who has had a perfectly normal amount to eat the past several days. I ate as much Monday & yesterday as I usually do.

Napping doesn't work if I can't fall asleep in the first place...

If that's where she is (and it seems that's where everybody really is now), the that's where you should go.

The downside of wearing acrylic nails - just broke one. Ouchies.

Real nail underneath is perfectly intact, but it still stings like nothing else when they get snapped off.
