Last night I could not sleep. First, I was too sleepy to want to do anything else (including watching television ... actually, I wanted to play guitar but kept losing concentration) but still couldn't fall asleep. Then back pain kept me awake. Finally, after giving up and getting online, then having a very sudden attack of "so dizzy I must lie down or throw up", I crashed ... partially woke when I dreamt that I was seeing a bunch of SCA folks walking past the camera on the morning news, then woke completely when I dreamt I heard someone downstairs putting my things in boxes to steal them (it was the sound of tape being pulled off a roll in my dream that woke me). So I slept one [expletive]ing hour. Not a happy camper.
Not even interesting dreams with story lines I can bore people with; just impressionistic wake-me-up bits.
Still dizzy. Hope I'm feeling well enough later to drive to Virginia. Hope I'm feeling at least well enough to move the car across the street by the time street-cleaning parking restrictions kick in.
Something more interesting queued up in my brain for later, I promise. Okay, maybe not more interesting (it involves politics and pontificating about cyberspace), but certainly less whiny.
Have you tried melatonin
I hear that taking it for long periods can mess with your brain chemistry, so I normally only take it from 1-5 evenings straight, and usually 1-1.5mg dosage each.
Re: Have you tried melatonin
Drugs etc. and sleep
