I didn’t sleep again last night.
I should have had my tablets but,
For reasons that I can’t recall,
I didn’t. Now my brain has shut
Down in the middle of the day.
I’ve got that sinking sense of dread
That comes of being wide-awake
When mentally I’m all but dead.
Defending the planet from bad science fiction
story telling with an iPhone
Exploration of the Past
Preserving the past for the future....

Ta. Had a bit of sleep this afternoon. Now I’m even more tired. Coffee time.

An antidote to so much, I feel. Feel better.x

I might have to spoon it raw out of the coffee jar.

🙂 Whatever it takes.x

Praying for your brain and body to reset itself. I hate when that happens. Make sure you do not have caffeine today, if possible. Be well, Dear Friend!! 🙂

Nooo…coffee, by the bucketload. It might help me wake up a bit.

I finally did sleep after my pills, Hope you have a better night!
August 11th, 2013 at 5:19 pm
I should do if I remember to take my pills at the right time.

I know that feeling. Complete mental exhaustion but you can’t sleep. Not a pleasant feeling.

Also known (to me, at any rate) as everyday life.

I can relate … though even the tablets don’t seem to help … after about four or five hours of sleep, I just wake up, wide awake, mind going… then, I get sleepier as the day goes on, but, I can’t seem to nap much anymore either … I suspect I’m evolving into a creature that cannot sleep, and will slowly die of madness….. 🙂

Just to make matters worse, I’ve just discovered that the idiots at the chemist have only given me half my usual bag of pills. It’s going to be a long night tonight…

You have my heartfelt sympathies

No tablets now either ‘cos they screwed up with my prescription. I’m going demented today.
August 12th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
I will come and cheer you up on Thursday.
August 12th, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Okay. Wear something with thick anti-kitten sleeves.
August 12th, 2013 at 3:43 pm
Oh i’m used to it. I’m a fully registered kitten tamer with forearms of steel.

I figure insomnia is rampant amongst bloggers.
I’m happy to say that with the meds I’m on now I sleep much better than I used to.
Insomnia can be just so awful. That wired and tired feeling. Yuk!

The tablets help with my insomnia, but now I need something to help with my memory.
August 21st, 2013 at 10:07 am
Really? Long or short term?
August 21st, 2013 at 10:17 am
I forget.
August 21st, 2013 at 10:22 am
Oh, Brian! I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve made me burst out laughing today. Thank you!
