This thread idea was brought to us by franniek54 and we think its a great new idea for after hours.  Thanks fran

Insomniacs’ Sanctuary

Can’t sleep?  Menopausal insomnia?  Work the late shift?  Need a study break?  Live in a distant time zone?  Someone’s snoring woke you up?  Baby woke you up?  Shouldn’t have taken that nap?  Too much caffeine?  Aggravated by something?  Cat sleeping on your pillow?  Dog needed to go out? 

Whatever brought you here, if you’re looking for some conversation or just wanna say hi, make your presence known.  There may be someone else here too.  There’s a good chance that I will be.

And I guarantee that no one will comment on what time you posted.  Wink

What a GREAT idea for a thread! pick me I am one of those who has late night conversations with herself! I will definitely be popping in here!  I have been working some brutal hours lately.  I work anywhere from 7-8 am to 10-11 pm.  When I finally get on....most everyone is already Clay dreaming nap

I hope to see some of my "knight" owl buddies here and I look forward to meeting some new fellow insomniacs too. 

Well....I know it's early but I must get some sleep for tomorrow is going to be another long day at work. 

I look forward to hearing some stories of what makes you all a fellow insomniac! Huggles

Hello all,

Finally a “Menopausal Insomnia” thread... Purple Banana

Miss Kat, you can’t be “Menopausal Insomnia?” Wink Laughing

Well now look at that!  And I thought I was the only one in here late at night.  shrug   Well, I'm gonna try at least right now to do some snoozin cuz I have to work tomorrow and I need to be semifunctional.

Like all of you I hope to NOT meet you in here, but if I need this place I'm glad it's here.   Huggles Huggles Huggles

Well...here I am.  What a surprise.   Laughing  My usual 3 am wake up call.     Was reading a little about the recent magazine articles, and it just makes me sick.  I think I will try to go back to bed.   Wink

Frankie - I didn't know you had started this thread or I would have been on last night. Let me see - I went to bed at 11:00 , TOOK  a sleeping pill, woke up at 12:30 and have been up ever since. Now I'm going to try to go back to sleep and see if I can't get a couple more hours of sleep.

At least I know where to come when I wake up in the middle of the night.

Oh this is great - now if I could just drag myself out of bed to the computer when I wake up at 12:00, 2:00, 4:00 (yes, menopausal insomnia).  I even take a Sleep Right before I go to bed and that does cut down on the number of times I wake up!!
I may drop in sometime.  Nice (or sorry) to see you all here!!   Huggles

OMG, look at all the people in here who have sleep disorders!!!!   This is very sad!!!

Well, I can't guarantee we'll all be in here at the same time, but you never know.  Laughing

Last night I went to bed at 1:30, woke up at 3:30.  My nose was really stuffy so that's why this time.  Couldn't go back to sleep and the tossing and turning was waking up hubby, so I went to lay on the couch and turn on the tv.  Too tired to come back here this time.  Bush's  State of the Union address was on CNN--that put me right to sleep.

I have found in general tho that if I cut down on my expected sleep time, I may get less sleep than what I want, but a better quality when I do sleep.  So if I go to bed at 11PM I will only sleep 50% of the time, but if I go to bed around 1AM I often times will sleep right thru till 7AM.  From time to time I need a nap to catch up.   blush  Maybe I just don't need as much sleep as I think I do.  Exercise helps too.

I don't mind conversations with myself.  I do it even during the day!  Laugh

Or you could decorate for the others to see when they stop in.  Drool

Or you could just leave and no one will be the wiser.

But all are welcome.

So now I know where to come in the middle of thenight, well not quite because I live in California, so my 3 am wake up will be after you all have gone back to bed. Sometimes I'm up earlier.

Menopausal insomnia, humm. well actually i have RLS. Restless leg syndrom. I take my meds for that a then conk out within an hour. They work to quiet the lower brain stem. Then I wake up and cannot go back to sleep.

So see you all another night.

Well, hellooooo, out there.  Here I am at 10:49 and everyone has gone to bed.  Heck, I'm just getting started!

I just posted this on the blp, but maybe it would make a good conversation starter.  If you all have thoughts about this too, tell me your POV.

Quote
I just wish I knew the truth about all of these articles.  There's so much inconsistency.  He walked out on an interview that wasn't nearly as bad, but stayed for this one?  Which article was really done first?  Ariel Levy never printed exactly what questions she asked or exactly what his responses were to them.  How much was edited out or printed out of sequence or embellished upon or just downright fabricated.  Why did Clay even agree to an interview with such a magazine anyway?

My heart is breaking for him right now.  People are publicly trying to "enlighten" him as to what and who he is.  How insulting is that?  and no matter what he says I don't believe that it doesn't hurt.     

I'm so glad he has the Spamalot cast for support right now.  They know what he's up against and can give him the right backup and advice.  and they are publicly defending him, how cool is that?  And David Hyde Pierce is giving the media the cold shoulder, so good for him too.

 wave everyone!!!
Glad to see we have a group forming, even though not because we WANT to be awake.   lmao  I fall asleep just fine....then wake up and can't go back to sleep.  Probably several reasons contribute...But believe it or not, although I got up to pee (like Thea  Wink ) I'm still feeling very tired and hope to get back to sleep. 

Beth - I think you were just a little early.   Laughing

But glad to see we have our own little group here!!!     Thanks, Fran, for the idea!!!
