That is how I am tonight. I have no clue why I am still up. I got up this morning at 4am and it is now 10:30 pm and I can not get to sleep. I am very tired but can not settle down. It drives me nuts so instead of just laying there I decided to get up and read mylots*L* I tell you this thing is addictive. Anyone else out there unable to sleep?

That's odd,the reason i can sleep is because of my fatigue. When i'm not tired enough i sleep only a few hours,if i sleep 10 pm and isn't tired enough there's a chance that i wake up 4 in the morning and can't go back to sleep.

It had happened to me before. My mind was so occupied with the lists of things that I need to do the next day. I end up doing those things. When I had completed, I took a warm shower, had a glass of warm milk, burn my aromatheraphy candles and read a book. Half an hour later, I snooze off.... I think you might want to try it out!!

This happens to many people even to me too. If this occurs few times in the year is not that problematic but if it happens to somebody frequently then can creat health problems like insomania, which has so many other side effects on your health. If it's a rare case you sure can take some medicine or pilles to go asleep for that perticular stressful day but do see that you don't go addict to this medicine. Because you can't sleep unless this diazopam is taken. Wish you a suond sleep and health too.

I feel like this most nights . For some reason I find it really hard to sleep at night and lay there all night until the sun comes up , in the morning I don't want to get out of bed at all . Once in awhile I will get up and come on MyLot as well and hope that eventually I will be tired enough to fall asleep lol .

Your mind gets so involved with 'things to do' that (at least I do) find it hard to turn it off. When I get that bad, I usually go ahead and (like You), get out of bed and check Mylots, or check my emails, or sometimes, since I'm a writer, I sit and free write until I get tired. That could be an hour or sometimes, all night long. If I get involved in a story line or a character while I'm writing, I can get really carried away. Of course, we always pay for it the next day, don't we. Sleep Tight

oh yeah, it's the same level as constipation and itching but you don't know where to scratch

This happens to me all the time. My sleep cyle gets all out of whack if I'm not really careful and then I end up not being able to sleep for a few days. It's like I'm overtired and don't sleep until I'm at the point of exhaustion.
