as for insomnia being contagious....i have noticed that when had a mega whinge to someone i know...they sometimes do come back to me and say they ve struggled the night after!!.....wierd....but i have no sympathy for them they shud suffer too!!...ok thats nasty but its hard to care!! ...

Fully understand how you feel like that Zwitty.......it IS difficult when you're knackered all the time..........life is one big emotional strain and it's hard work to put on a brave face when you're so tired....

Nearly 5am !!...I am at least going to get my head down for a while...I'll listen to the radio.

Actually, this is a good tip for you (and everybody else)...have the radio on just loud enough so that you can just hear it....it's best to have something like a talk radio station on...the voices can have a numbing effect and you soon fall asleep as you try to listen what is being said.

anyway...if I don't get back here...I do wish you well Zwitty, carolyn and Karen..

hugs ewe all...shmishes you too............LOL...the birds are singing !!!...Great !!! *gets shotgun at the ready*

Me too, Lo.  I usually don't have problems sleeping, other than not being able to go to sleep before 1 or 2 am and having to be up at 6:30.  Occasionally, (about every 6-8 weeks) I go about a week not being able to sleep.  However, my sleeplessness doesn't compare to the rest of you, and so I do feel a tiny twinge of guilt complaining about it.

Zwitty - I'm sorry you're struggling so with sleep.  I hope you find some relief soon.

Well I slept a couple hours Saterday 2 I think.. and I have not slept since... I am getting ready for work now.. The shower made me feel some more human then before.. You all have a great day and get some sleep if you can... Sorry Carolyn! No guilt, lack of sleep in the beginning was worse for me then it it these days when I loose much more and now I do better then at a yonger age.
