1. My dear Haole Girl...

You are not alone...

I've had it too...

It sucks, big time.

It actually scares me, it happens so rarely...

I wish it were rare for you too, sweetie...:hug:

[Haole Girl]

3. Thanks Peggy

After so many years of working the late shift, it doesn't take much at all for me to go back to staying up late. I don't know how I'm going to function at work tomorrow (today). :-( It's not the Lounge drama, btw... other stuff.

:hug:

2. After a few decades, you'll get used to it

I have.

I hope you do not have to get use to it, though. I wish I had advice that worked.

[Haole Girl]

4. Decades?

Hope you don't have a job where you have to be alert.

15. LOL! I used to breed and train horses - maybe that is why I had so many injuries

I've pretty much had insomnia since I was a teenager, though now that I am basically retired I suspect that my personal sleep schedule is from 3-4 AM to noon, since that is when I sleep the best. Of course, when running a farm, you need to be up at dawn, so that didn't work well for me. I've spent most of my life sleep deprived.

Over the last ten years I've had a number of injuries and health issues that contribute to insomnia. I get caught up when I am recovering from operations or under treatment, but that doesn't last long. Right now, I am still on extra strength vicodin for a shoulder operation and it doesn't knock me out before about 2 AM no matter what time I take it. And I am dropping off of it now that the pain is manageable.

[Haole Girl]

16. Hope your shoulder feels better soon

:hug:

[csziggy]

17. Thanks! It's healing and I had a good surgeon

He totally rebuilt my left shoulder fifteen years ago and this one was only a little worn out, not torn to hell and back like the other one. I'm at the point where it is getting better, but I still am not allowed to use it so it is frustrating. But after hurting for 18 months, I'm used to it and it can only get better from here.

Take care of that insomnia - see if you can work up a routine that will help. That is what people always told me!

[Haole Girl]

18. Routine is very important.. you are right

Once I break the routine I'm toast.

Thanks. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

6. Who died and made you a mod?

:P

[jeff30997]

8. Me !

I died and just saw an angel! :loveya:

[Haole Girl]

10. ha

That almost made me laugh. Thanks for trying.

[jeff30997]

11. Why do you say that ?

:(

[Haole Girl]

12. Don't worry

I don't think there is a soul still alive who understands me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Who the fuck said so?

:rofl: :rofl:

[jeff30997]

9. Young lady I'll wash your mouth with soap and...

then you're grounded Dammit! Oops!(Washing own mouth with soap). :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I kid you not...

My mom used to wash my mouth out with soap, when I was little, a loooong time ago!

It didn't work then.

And it doesn't work now.

:7

[jeff30997]

19. Oh !

That was an unexpected answer ! :rofl: !

Surprise often = Lol! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Ginger works better.

Swear to goodness.

[Haole Girl]

26. My mother once washed my mouth out with Ivory soap

It does NOT taste good.

[petronius]

31. I had a camp counselor way back when who made a kid take a mouthful of

shampoo after cursing. Then, I guess the counselor felt bad or wanted to know what it was like or something, so he gulped down a huge swig and spent the whole night puking. The rest of us thought it was fucking hilarious...

[Lucian]

20. I have that every. fucking. night.

Ugh.

[Haole Girl]

21. How much sleep per night do you get? nt

[Lucian]

22. 2 - 3 hours.

[Haole Girl]

23. Do you have to concentrate during the day?

If so, it must be awful for you. :-(

[Lucian]

24. No.

I work at a brainless job (retail). I just drink large amounts of Monster energy drink and 5 Hour Energy.

[Haole Girl]

25. I don't think there is an energy drink in the world that can help me now

:-(

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Hey Haole Girl

I wanted to ask you - what did you do last weekend? Did you travel somewhere or did you stay home?

[Haole Girl]

28. Stayed home

It wasn't for lack of trying. All the flights, to anywhere I wanted to go, were very, very full.

Did have a couple of very nice rides, though. I was happy.

[Jamastiene]

29. I refuse to call it insomnia.

As many people as there are who hate mornings, the argument could be made that humans are supposed to be nocturnal. I know I am. I'm a night owl from the word, "Go." I don't have insomnia. I like the nightlife. I like to boogie... :evilgrin:

[Haole Girl]

30. Haha!

That's a positive spin.

I really should get off the computer & let my eyes rest some.
