Stress-Based Insomnia Sucks

[Rubyn]

Dave, not sure if you have any health insurance or not but you should try to get some sleep medication I recommend ambien that would do the trick for me on those stressful nights. Just take it all one day at a time man.. I average about 2-3 hours a night unless I am heavily medicated which hasn't been for a few weeks now... the good thing is you get to witness the married with children reruns and other misc late night tv shit that others miss on a regular basis!

Since I have been a kid, I have always had trouble sleeping at night. Actually, when the sun goes down, I wake up. Bread doesn't understand why I can't come to bed with him every night when he goes to sleep. He can't sleep with the TV on and I need something to distract me from my thoughts so I can fall asleep. Otherwise, I lay there in the dark thinking about everything from what needs to be done at work to the way I am going to die.

I tried Ambien about two years ago and it was terrible. I only took a few days worth but when I stopped, I actually felt physical signs of withdrawl. Terrible insomnia, depression, even anger. That is SO not at all my personality, so it scared me.

I agree with the pot, it puts me to sleep.

Last time I was stoned I watched a NFL replay of the Lions vs. Brown game where M. Stafford was mic'd up.

Man oh man, that was awesome.

I wish I had some pot right now.

I feel you and completely understand, but as a human you gotta learn how to deal/cope with stress. Whats done is done and there is nothing you can do about it so stop worrying about that. What is to come is to come and there is nothing you can do, but prepare for it. Worry about the now, or just go jump out of a plane and wake the fuck up in life. You'll realize real quick, when you save your own life, that it is way to short to shit around worrying. Deep Breathes.

I absolutely LOVE this post. Too many people spend too much time worrying about everything. I am guilty of doing so from time to time. But I have never been a worrier. My mother does enough of that for me plus 25 other people.

The day I made the selfish decision to sell my house, quit my job and leave my family to blindly move to Florida, my life completely turned around. I no longer live my life for everyone else and I have never been happier.

Not much to do on these late nights, but every time I get in bed to try and sleep, I just toss and turn and stress out about everything.

Not sleeping much at all these days.

I can usually fall asleep ok but I wake up 5 hours later and can't fall back to sleep. I need 8 or 9 total to be 100% Daft.

Oh man mine has been BAD lately. Cami couldn't even take it she went to the couch this mourning. Stevies got up and dragged her back to bed and kept her up too! We caught a Kevin NEalon stand up bit and it was cool.

Rip Fiver, Daft.
