Posted by redrider on May 17, 2009 at 19:05:52:I just found this site. My story is....not sleepy enough to fall asleep. I keep the tv on with a sleep timer for first attempt.(only try if sleepy or take ambien)I will be awake in 3 hours. Wake up hungry. Raid the fridge for something sweet or crunchy. Imbibe in tobbaco and surf for a while. Fall asleep again.Get up to pee. Alarm goes @ 5:00.. i force myself up or I will fall back asleep. sore throat on left side.hacking cough. must drink water.It is the same on weekend except I allow myself to fall back asleep.I only dream then. They are vivid and real. Sometimes about sex. very vivid. get up with a headache and sore jaw. can barely chew. Ashamed for sleeping so long.
