So now I guess if I’m struggling to sleep I’ll have to go to bed first and see if it can be something that could help.. Hahaha Woof !

But can he pet your head and rub your tummy? If so keep him around ,LOL most people can't so he could be a keeper!

It felt better the other day not where it should be but a bit better ... today is a bit worse, but I’m not sure if I used my inhaler last night?? I need to go back to putting it on my pillow in the morning after I use it so will be reminded when I lay down.

I just can’t believe all this started in August... crazy !

I lied awake last night till like 3am thinking about this thread...I must've finally fallen asleep but was up again at 530. I think I got up for a snack at that point. Then went back to sleep till 930. so that's 6? I got up, checked my email... but then I snuggled with husband and somewhere between like 10 and 1230 I dosed off again... seems to be my daily habit of late. I can never seem to get that ideal 12a-8am or even 10am schedule. Sorry, I'm not sure I'm "cool" for this thread, but I'm checking in and keeping tabs of my disrupted sleep anyway.

I also didn't sleep. Finally fell asleep but only slept 4 or 5 hrs.

~Christina · Jan 11, 2020 at 09:25 PM

We had nasty storms so I slept a bit here and there, had to often soothe my dog as storms scare him, I have a doggy coat that’s snug like a thunder coat that helps a bit but my boy still needs his mommy lol our other dog got a bit worried too.

The wind was wicked and rain on a metal roof something I love but there sensitive ears not so much.

I’d like to think I’ll get good sleep tonight but I not going to hold my breath tho.

Zero sleeps ! I look like a literal blood hound /basset hound with puffy droopy eyes , seeing Pdoc in a few, we have tried everything so I think this is what it is

I took two of the ambien and slept all night! It was wonderful. I was in a college, a weird one. Small with grand stone buildings. The books for classes came with Star Trek clothes and toys. Statistics came with a red shirt! Ha ha. I woke early but didn't get out of bed, it was so comfortable and warm, a nice place to just relax.

Hahahaha Red shirts always gotta die LOL

Nammu · Jan 13, 2020 at 10:57 PM

I was hopeful that someone would know the significance of the red shirts! Ha ha and so appropriate that it was statistics!

giddykitty · Jan 14, 2020 at 03:28 AM

Slept an hour. Now I've been up for an hour. Too worried about things. I'm crying but tears won't come out! Can't sleep. Can't talk much. Just need hugs.

giddykitty · Jan 14, 2020 at 07:36 AM

Slept maybe another 2hrs tops...gonna try to go back to sleep. Hubby' s alarm goes off in an hour. *yawn*

Nammu · Jan 14, 2020 at 02:15 PM

Took forever to fall asleep. When I did I was running this huge way stop with native Americans dolls in leather and pop guns. I guy came in with a huge sleeping dog. He wanted a space where he could hire out his dog as a service dog, he promised his dog would relax the most uptight prick, even our orange blob!

I think I slept a bit here and there nothing to be real excited about for sure.

One of my favorite shows is on tonight so I’m happy.

New Amsterdam !!!! Fantastic show !

Nammu · Jan 14, 2020 at 07:27 PM

I saw the write ups on new Amsterdam and thought it sounded good, unfortunately mum wants to watch reruns of PBS that are on at the same time so I've never seen it.

Oh that sucks .. it’s really a good show.. I have my dvr always set to record it but I get scared it will screw up so I make sure I watch live and then rewatch it again later lol

Polibeth · Jan 15, 2020 at 01:14 AM

I've heard New Amsterdam is good but I've never watched it. Anything on Monday or Tuesday and I have to watch on DVR or streaming.

Busy night at work - dangerous situation last night at work. I'm all wound up again.

It’s definitely worthy of dvr or streaming to watch first season, fantastic show.

I’m sorry you had a dangerous situation at work

is there someone there you can talk to about it or maybe a T if you have one ?
