Me too, I thought with everything that happened and no sleep the last couple nights, that maybe I could crash earlir but ther is no sign of sleep! I am so sorry.. you either.. Have the kids got off to school.. I hope you find a poit to dose off for a couple hours, I am thinking of putting in a tape a friend loaned me a Shirley Maclaine video to watch, I love her!Shirley Maclaine that is.. My friend is great to, but thats not what I meant! I hope your day goes well.

Yep, the kids have gone off to school and I am going out of my mind !

I love Shirley Maclaine too.

I lost my mind years ago...think I left it near a vending machine when I was 12 !!...it probably got thrown away with the rest of the trash !!....

Think I'll go and bang my head on the wall.....!!..keep an ear out for a 'hollow' sound !!

Thanks Karen.....

You should get some sleep...at least go to bed !!...you've still got most the night left haven't you ?

Be well...speak later

Hugs

What frustrates me is that when I do go to sleep it is quite literally for five minutes !!...just like we discussed earlier !!

I've found that approximately 5 minutes of strenuous exercise right before bed helps me sleep like a baby. [

I use Dr. Sahelian's method for better sleep [

](it works for me)--he suggests--

"Use sleep relaxation techniques.
Once you are in bed, take a deep breath and gradually let it out. Do this a few times. Then, lightly shake one of your feet, and go back to taking a couple of deep breaths. Lightly shake the other foot and then take a couple of deep breaths. Move up to your legs, hips, arms, neck, muscle around the mouth, eye muscles, etc., while going back to the breath after shaking each body part. Soon you'll be in la la land."
