Off for a nice hot bath now to strengthen myself for a night fighting insomnia (again!) and the chore of cleaning/drying/storing my Iron Age gear and sorting my sales goods back into storage for the next Prehistoric fair ... I might even get some work done if I feel up to it Strangely enough I sleep better in the woods these days....

A draw - last time I looked at my watch before I fell asleep it was 2am....

 

[British Red]

Pain isn't it? Hope you have a better one tonight!

If I get into a bad patch then I can go all night without real sleep - but I catch up on my reading I tend to get to bed drop off for about half an hour then I am wide awake again! I know I need the sleep - or I feel wretched the next day - but my mind just will not switch off and I get into a loop of thinking about things I plan doing/have done recently - not stress stuff but usually minor stuff like needing to buy more corks for my wine making, the workshop needs a bit of a tidy, the buzzards nest looked good in the woods yesterday type stuff .... reading gets the body relaxed and resting and helps break the circling mind adventures

Andropause

Or PADAM ... except for a couple of symptoms ..... like the libido bit.... possible but as I have suffered with insomnia for a long long time - unlikely!

So know what you mean about that loop thinking. Been there, done that. Building bathrooms and plumbing in the shower, where to run the pipes though the walls. Damn brain just won't shut off! But like you said though reading breaks that loop by putting your mind onto something else. I also find that if there's anything you've ever memorised like a speech or poem, if you recite it in your head over and over and over again you eventually drop off. It's like counting sheep. I've also run through the script and scenes of a favourite film playing it out in my minds eye scene for scene, I found that worked as well.

I was having insomnia a couple of weeks ago, most unlike me as I can sleep for England, so I can empathise. Anyway hope you both get some good nights soon.

Drug crazed ferret? - I hope not! Poodle? I REALY hope not!

 

[Harvestman]

I don't know if I have insomnia. I fall asleep before I have time to find out...
