Wanted to offer my well wishes too on the competition thing !

Sounds like you had a busy day...sorry to hear about your niece's bf problems. The advice you give her now can be hopefully something she holds onto though Could make for better R's for her in the future !

Nice to see that I'm not the only LATE,LATE NIGHT OWL on here

You don't by any chance have some suggestions for achieving longer sleep periods do you?? You always have wonderful suggestions for so many other things I thought maybe you could help me here

I always have major problems sleeping when H is away...this was a problem even before the R sitch came in to play. Of course, the sitch has pretty much compounded things and my already screwy sleep habits are worse. That is why you might notice weird post times on my posts.

I'll doze off for a couple of hours and the next thing I know I'm wide awake...usually get on the comp then so I don't wake H up (quieter then TV)...couple hours on comp then back to sleep for a couple of hours, then I'm up for the rest of the day until about 4-6 am. I've been cycling like this for weeks now

My meds help me get those first couple hours of sleep. I drink herbal teas like chamomile or lemon balm for their calming effects. I stopped drinking soda and limit my coffee to 2 cups a day (usually).

I've asked myself if my brain is on hyperdrive at some level but it doesn't seem to be. This song that is on TV all the time does keep repeating itself over and over again though and is starting to drive me nuts...all my brain keeps processing is Shake me I rattle, squeeze me I cry... Subliminal messages maybe???

I am wide-open to suggestions...sleep deprivation is the only known trigger I have for my E...I prefer H not have to worry while he is gone that I will have a seizure. I can't not tell him about them...it is impossible for me to hide them since they affect my speech.

Thanks in advance
