I tossed and turned for 3 hours before finally falling asleep. I slept from 3am-7am.... (on the couch...couldn't do it in the bed).... then went back and got in bed at 7am. Fell asleep at 7:30 and slept til 9:30! Now, I'm stiff. LOL...
I woke up with a lot of anxiety again. I need to find something to do to get me out of this house! Staying in the house causes anxiety for me, I think. I plan to clean house today...actually clean... with cleaning supplies, etc. Not just pick up. But then what? I don't wanna be home all evening...but we are so broke and there's no way we can afford anything else! We went to the game last night and didnt really need to do that! (btw-- i had a great time!) I'll find a way to keep busy anyway. I'm soooo thankful for the sleep last night. It wasn't GOOD sleep, by any means. It wasn't a deep sleep. But it was SLEEP!!! ahh... I think I may need a heating pad for my neck now. LOL.. that couch killed me! After I got past the restless arms, I was good! Please pray for me today. I need it!!!! Trying to fight the depression  and anxiety still.

That's wonderful!  I'm saying a prayer for sleep.  You might end up surprised how little sleep you can live on during all this, huh?  Just remember not to lie in bed and fight and toss and turn.  Get up and trick your mind into thinking you want to be awake.  That used to shut me down pretty quickly!!! : )  Either way, you're not in bed and miserable!

OOPS....missed that last one.  So the arms bother you?  Do the same thing you'd do for the legs.  Gatorade.  Applejuice.  Heat applied to arms.  Wrap them if you need to.  Take a hot shower.  Cal-Mag-Zinc 4 pills.  Tonight take a couple doses of nyquil.

It came a little more for me (around 5 or 6 hours a night) at about 10 to 14 days after the last pill.  Does that answer the question?  It took a good month or even more to get 7 hours.  That 5/6 hours was like 3 hours and then 2 and then 1 sometime during the night.  BUT....I'm a lifelong insomniac.  You may sleep sooner and more! : )  Hope so.  You're doing GREAT!!!

I'm as proud of you as my first born!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) :P LOL
