Short nights make for long days Nightmares, not rest, lead the way. Cannot figure the difference or what’s right When it should be short days, long nights. Something in my brain is not functioning on keel And the day drifts by no matter how I feel. I have been on my knees asking for help to rest And have pleasant dreams, but do my best That part of prayer has not been answered
My mind does shut down at night But only after taking what meds are right Some work to relax my muscles But I end up in a sort of tussle When I don’t fall asleep right away And find myself rising long before break of day. I try especially not to nap during time of light But find myself drifting off and I get up tight Then cannot sleep when my head hits the bed.
Continue to do as I do And hope there is rest soon without further ado.
many days i function on 3 hours sleep ... getting 5 is a good night sleep ... but i've slept like that my entire life ... who wants to sleep their life away any ;)
i do empathize with your frustration ... for many the lack of sleep is a real drag ...
Sometimes sleep habits cycle. Difficult to be awake all night long and still face a day at the job, but it happens. I gave up, sleep with the television on to have something to stimulate my mind every time I wake up. Tough delemma to be in......
pssssss!
here's my remedy
A hot cup of milk heat it
with a mashed piece of fresh ginger
pore it into a cup put a dab of butter
a teaspoon of honey and one or two shots
of rum (optional)
Guaranty.
I also have trouble sleeping. It is pain that keeps me up not so much my mind. I meditate and it helps me calm down but many times it does not help me sleep yes it makes me feel good and relaxed but it seems to not help with pain. I do hope you start to sleep better. I have sleep apnea so I have always dealt with sleep problems. I pray you get a good night sleep tonight.

methinks we all go through similar nights, especially if retired, like I am. Add to that different ills and meds etc it isn't easy to sleep the way we should. Don't stop yourself from napping if you don't get much sleep at night. It's good if you can.The thing at night is to shut the brain down if we can!;-) Keep praying!, I'll pray for you too!;-)
Throw the meds away and have yourself a good long walk and a bowl of cereal before you hit the hay...
I hate when this happens...you must have some underlying sandpaper in your life, rubbing you the wrong way...Hope you can obtain the Peace, you have asked for. Be more specific with Him and maybe it will all make sense...and He will bless you Soundly!
Love and Peace~
