ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well this is the second week in a row that I have been unable to sleep. I've had a good two weeks too, both physically and emotionally. I've gone to the gym twice, once at 3am(working out when you can't sleep is as good as anything). I am trying to get involved in these Meet Ups and meet some new people. So far I've only gone to one but I have been active with others online. I am slowly working up to it LOL!

I almost always had an issue with sleeping. I would read into the wee hours of the morning. As a working adult I can remember night after night after night watching the clock thinking if I fall asleep now I can still get 5 hours of sleep.............If I fall asleep now I can still get 4 hours of sleep......... You get the picture. God how I hated those nights.

Before you ask I have tried most of the ways people try and beat insomnia. I have only used the bed for sleep, I don't drink caffeine, I've taken the warm baths, not eaten so many hours before bed, not been active so many hours before bed. I've tried meditating, stress relief, teas, none of it works. The only thing I am not keen on is the meds. Trazadone zonked me for a week. I felt like I was walking through cotton candy. I can't take melatonin because that could cause my melanoma to come back and no amount of sleep is worth that.

The only time I enjoyed not sleeping was college. I had way too much fun to even think of sleeping. No, I studied most of those nights. There may have been a few that I had fun:-) I filled my schedule so full I had no time for sleeping. But alas, that was when I had a 20 year old body. I no longer have a 20 year old body(God I wish). 

Hopefully one of these days I will get some sleep!
