Ho hum....3:15am [V]

Sorry you are not sleeping again... Sending you nice sleep wishes to sooth you to sleep!

[Carolyn]

Thanks Karen.

[Karen W.]

anytime.. Did you get some sleep?

[Carolyn]

I drifted off sometime around 5:30 this morning....then I had to be up at 6:30 to get Nic up and out for school and I couldn't go back to sleep.  I'm starting to drag now.

[Karen W.]

OOOOOOH Thats not good I hope you make it.. are you trying to stay awake for sleep later tonight? I hope you get some.. It is awful to get all punchy and certainly be careful... if not don't drive at all.. I know that exploding head thing it feels terrible!

[Carolyn]

I was on the road all day long.  I was driving to meet a friend in another town a few hours away and there was a wreck on the interstate and I was stuck for over 3 hours there!  I missed my friend.

I'm trying to stay awake for a while longer.  I have to drop Nic off at the football game and then pick him up, so I'm still up for awhile.  Fortunately the school is only 2 miles away so I won't have to drive far.

[Karen W.]

Well be careful. Sorry bout the wreck and I hope everyone was OK.

Get some sleep when you can and feel better soon.

[Carolyn]

Kareny Mam,

I don't know...it's now just after 9am here, so are you guys really 9 hours behind ?....Man , I'm shattered, been awake since Monday morning so that'll make it nice and sincere !

[neilep]

well, that was fun !

[Karen W.]

well, that was fun !

Neily.. they dopped the feed right when he asked about your past relationships....... I am so mad... they better offer it up on a podcast thing... cause they dropped the feed...or at least the server went down...in the middle...

[Karen W.]

hey you sounded great.. right up till the Sudden link went down... I can get on the phone but no computer yet!!! maybe they will replay itor we can hear it again online....

Did you see Neil with his big radiator in the Guardian Magazine. He has not boasted about it but it is a very good article about Insomnia. I only had it for two years when I was a teenager and it nearly killed me so Neil is a hero to live with it for 37 years.
Neil love, I'm sure you've tried everything but what about Budhist meditation? I know now why I had Insomnia. Mine was three reasons coming together at once. It is such a complex thing that usually has no one reason. It still may go Neil. I know you are resigned to it but don't give up on one day being cured.

Thanks Karen.. glass what you heard sounded Ok...I only caught 5 seconds of it myself....when I placed the phone down I suddenly remembered the time delay, so I quickly turned the volume up on the pc to hear myself say ' goodbye ' to myself !..lol

Thanks Shaz !...It really means a lot to know you liked the article !.I have to say, they got a few things wrong !..it's not wifey who snores it's me..and thus I wake her and she then wakes me..and that's when I get ever so slightly pissed off !

Buddhist meditation eh ?..nope never tried it...have tried mediation per se, and yoga...but, I am willing to try anything...I suspect a book beckons and then perchance a class or two.

Next Article will be in BEST magazine  by the way !

[neilep]

Perhaps I should try abseiling my radiator !...could be quite a trip !..enough to make me tired !  []

[Carolyn]

I happened to be up at 5:30 and was able to catch the radio interview.  You did a great job...especially enjoyed the swinging comment at the end. []

The article in the Guardian was also very good and informative.  Sharon is right...you are a hero to be able to cope with it.  I nearly go mad when I have my bouts of insomnia.  Still hoping that one day you will be cured.
