Unable to Sleep
Anyone else ever stay up all night because you can't sleep? Once again I've been up all night. I don't have to work today, but I woke up Wednesday at 2:30am and have been up since and it's now 5:37am. Wondering why I have such a problem?
Absolutely! Sorry it wasn't much of a party after we sang our hearts out and went to bed. I highly recommend picking up the mic next time! I tossed and turned there for about an hour before getting to bed. My mind just running through what seemed like my whole life. This, that, or the other thing.
I extend an open invitation on the karaoke machine. I actually saw a thread where they printed out all the lyrics to songs in turns. That seemed neat.
I hope you ended up getting some rest, Sara. (After putting shaving cream in our hands and tickling our noses with feathers. Caught at the scene of the crime!)

Do you ladies mind if I join in the insomniac social club?? I'm exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally. But sleep is probably going to elude me again. Pain isn't so bad tonight just the mind and emotions.
So, I like slumber parties!!! Can I come??

Good night honey ! I hope you can get some rest .I am so tired I think I will lay down too.I can barely see my monitor ,Karaoke was fun !!
Janis is always good. Very nice. The karaoke machine was a great idea. I think I'm going to try to sleep again. I'm sorry to leave the party. I may be back.
I hope you are able to catch a few winks. I don't know how I would live if I was like this every night.

LOL!!! Go girl on the karaoke !! Seriously tho, I am so sorry you are having a rough evening .This seems to be the place for bad sleepless nights Hence the slumber party ! I I was posting earlier and laughing my tail off while I was typing.I just mentally pictured us all in our pjs carrying on and eating trail mix lol ! Then I got the karaoke idea .I love Bon Jovi !! Good song choice !! Let me try it out now that you have warmed up the mic .Grabs the mic (Mad coughing fit ) Clears throat ... Busted flat in baton rouge ,waiting for a train and I was feeling nearly as faded as my jeans .Bobby thumbed a diesel down just afore it rained that drove all the way to New Orleans .......
Apparently my mind telepathically read karaoke and decided to join the fun. Argh. Most nights I can read and between the Simply Sleep and the half a Klonopin I am down for the count for a good 4 hours, then I can usually get up, use the bathroom, lay back down and get back to sleep after laying there pondering whatever dream I just had.
Tonight I am having a serious flare up. What did I do? I brought the kids to Barnes and Noble. Seriously, the drive was only about 30 mins there (got lost) and 15 mins back, (not counting the stop at KFC). Now my shoulder is burning, throbbing and pounding menacingly, I've taken more pain meds, more muscle relaxer, and phenergen and I am sitting here nauseated with acid licking at my throat, and I just can't sleep. I don't even feel sleepy. I've tried reading and even though the book is really interesting, my mind just keeps reverting to the pain and what I should do next to fall asleep. I finally gave up. Talking about it seems to help.
So I guess I'm here for the pj party. I've got fuzzy slippers and my blankie. Yes, I still use a blankie.
*Grabs karaoke mic* "Ahem, ahem," *taps karaoke mic a couple of times* It's on. *Begins to croon "It's all the same... only the names'll chaaaange, and every day.. it seems we're wasting awaaaay"

LOL!!!!! That is so funny girl !! I was taking a drink as I was reading and spewed Diet Mt Dew everywhere !! Sorry I am late I had a good friend that I haven't seen for years stop by out of the blue .She has been living out of state for ever it seems so it was a super surprise..She has moved back to Ky so I am so happy about that .Where's all the insomniacs at? It is still a bit early tho.Thats all right we'll get this party started .I even brought my karaoke machine so we can sing .We will have to keep the sound down so we don't wake up neighboring threads tho.LOL !! I also brought some microwave popcorn and some candy bars..I didn't forget to bring my makeup kit so we can do makeovers either.This is gonna be sooo much fun .!! LOL!!!
I am in my shorter version of a bitc.. gown cause it is not so cool even with the central air running. I am upstairs for now perched in front of the great oracle with the fan blowing on me listening to some new music and have about 50 tabs open. Perhaps the mental exhaustion will help???
Trail mix sounds pretty good but have to go light on the liquids..lol!

Hi! Yes I am still up .I know what you mean about the couple of hours sleep.I hope you are able to get your pain under control too.I am glad I am not up because of pain .I missed a couple of nights this week cause of a flare up of my IBS and it has thrown my sleep schedule out of whack. I have a miserable time with insomnia .I have my whole life and as I get older it seems worse .I am not in pain thank goodness or it would be so much worse.I have caught up on the 92 e-mails I had though .LOL Have a good day!! Melissa
Jaybay - you had me laughing so hard with the Three Stooges recap! That's exactly what I was thinking about - you must have been reading my mind!! LOL I guess not only GREAT minds think alike, but also SLEEP DEPRIVED ones do too!
Jaybay, Mellisa, Namnam - I shoulda come on here and joined in the party with you guys - I also was up at that time. I was finally able to fall asleep, but it was in the wee hours of the morning and it only lasted for about 2 hours. I am grateful for even that much though. I'm hoping that once we can get my back and hip pain under better control that I'll have a little better luck in the sleep department - I'm sure that's adding to the problem right now.
Here's hoping we all at least get a nap in today.
