No matter how tired I can be, but my dog outside keeps on barking - I can't sleep! This really upsets me because the time when I'm already sleeping, my dog suddenly barks because of something, then I instantly wake up... I don't like taking sleeping pills.. Err.. I'm kind of scared of them.. Heard news about people dying due to sleeping pills.. Eeeek!

I am wide awake and its 3.15am already. I think its because my son and I had a nap earlier on and even though he is fast asleep, I can't get to sleep. I am hoping to also talk with my hubby online as he is overseas at the moment so I would rather chat with him before I lay down to sleep, if I can that is.

3:15am? wow.. do you think it's healthy to still be up late? i mean, nap's a good thing. but a good long sleep is different. that's part of being healthy, aint it? :)

It is all part of being healthy is by getting a good nights sleep, but for some reason I can't LOL I tried lying down with my son and closing my eyes but I ended tossing and turning for about an hour. So I decided to waste my time away on mylot. If I get bored I am going to read a book. Mind you my son has to get up at 7.30am so I can take him to his activity class downtown by 9am LOL I hope I am still awake by then haha!

Things that keep me from sleeping: light, voices or any kind of unsolicited noise whatsoever (I have to block it out with a fan or noisemaker), thunderstorms (again, that goes with the noise), any recurring disturbing thoughts on my mind, too much energy, etc... to put it simply, I am an insomniac! Unless I am just burned out from exhaustion, I cannot sleep. It takes a lot to burn me out too... I do control this with melatonin though.

I am a kind of person who does not like taking a kinds of medicine or pills for anything. I like everything to be natural. I try not to take any medicines even when I have a headache. And I don't think I will take anything to help me sleep as well. I know coffee does not keep me awake but rather it helps to facilitate my sleeping. Weird right.

the problem isn't with my eyes or my muscles. it's with my ears. when my dog barks, i hear noise; therefore, i really can't sleep.
thanks for the advices though..:)

I enjoy sleeping and follow time to go to bed and awake early to get back to my routine.I dont want anything to disturb my sleep and get annoyed if something happens that disturbs my sleep so silly.
I cant sleep with lights on..but other things like a television on, music with low volume or someone talking which i can manage.
