So sorry about your cousin's wife PR. That is too young.
I haven't been sleeping well either Kiki. I have 22 days sober and have had drinking nightmares every night this week. They are awful and scary. Of course I am relieved when I wake up enough and realize they are a dream but while they are happening I am terrified and sick. And I wake up feeling sick and with a headache. I think I am clenching my teeth at night as well.
Sorry I have no tips or advice. Hopefully it gets better for all of us.

So sorry to hear about your cousin's wife, PR. Way too young. Prayers for her family, especially her kiddos.
DD's basketball game was a bit wild today. We lost 3-1 against a really good team. Both teams were playing a little too aggressively and there were some minor injuries and lots of tears on both sides. Even a technical foul against one of our girls. Afterward, our coach sent out a text apologizing for not stepping up when the refs didn't get things under control. I don't think any of our parents were upset. It was just one of those games. And I finished my taxes, whew! Now have one of my weird headaches that sends shooting pain to different parts of my head for milliseconds at a time. Sort of like little shots of lightening. Ugh. A hot shower is up pretty soon to try and knock it out.

Didn't read the posts since I posted this morning yet.
Got into an argument with my oldest son this afternoon.
(((Fight or flight)))
Flew!
Straight to a bar....
I hate myself.
The future seems bleak.
Want to give up.
But I can't.

Hola all!
Sorry for your loss PeacefulRain. Even if you never met her, I hate to hear about anyone dying that young.
Don't be too hard on your self Kiki. Glad you came back and posted. Hope to hear from you tomorrow!

Hey, PR. That's an awful thing to happen. So young! Prayers for you and your family.
Kiki, glad you checked in. Check in again in the morning.
This is my insomnia time tonight. A little earlier than usual, but I went to bed a little earlier after a busy day. I was not having any kind of bad or weird dreams. I did not take any ZMA before bed. I thought I would describe it right as it's happening. My heart is beating a tad fast and hard, and my stomach is in a bit of a knot. I can feel this general anxiety, but can't put my finger on anything specific. Tomorrow will be an average Sunday. I've got a client meeting on Monday which should go fine. I've had some water and half an orange. I'm pretty awake, so I expect it will be at least an hour before I even attempt to go back to sleep. I'm going to make a list of things I need to do tomorrow to try and organize my thoughts. Then, I'll try and read for a bit, but my wandering/overactive mind often makes that a short lived exercise. If reading fails, I'll search for a good podcast.
It's 1:40am now. If I can get back to sleep by 3:00, I should be fine.
Anyway, this is mostly what my usual middle of the night routine looks like. I try to avoid turning on the TV.
See everyone in a few hours!

MITA- I can relate to that. Like you- after trying, if sleep does not come- I try to find something constructive to do. Hope you get some sleep and your Sunday is not a zombie fest. 1926 Sunday here. Rainy- unusual weather for a Sunday.

Thanks PJ.
I'm feeling a little less anxious now. I found this Wikipedia entry on sleep. If interested, open it up and go to the section on Interrupted Sleep. Kind of interesting. The link is work and family safe.

Morning class. Also slept like crap here...tossed and turned pretty much all night. Maybe I need to start exercising in the evenings instead of the mornings...
Kiki - I hope you are okay. Please be good to yourself today...you deserve to be sober and happy. I know that sounds simple but that has actually been a revelation for me. You can't do this because of someone else, or for someone else..but you can do it because you're worth it. Thinking of you today and love you.
MITA - insomnia sucks....I hope you got back to sleep.
PJ - I'm jealous of your rain...we have sleet and ice....also as an update...still no sun.
Well off to work. Looking forward to some days off after this. Happy Sunday!!
