Star Date 7-23 3:30AM

Here I am again, but a bit later today. Usually the cycle starts at 2AM with me waking up every 30-45 minutes IF I am able to get back to sleep at all.

Today is different in that my W is gone for the weekend so I do not have to lie in bed listening to her breathing and the dog's snorts and snores while I wonder how long she has been doing whatever with whomever.

How do folks handle the nighttime? GALing and getting out with the kids or finding that new hobby are all fine during the light of day, but what about these dark hours.

Sad as it seems, I often took comfort in my wife being there in bed beside me. Now that I am moving out, I wonder where I am going to find rest...no offense to my mentally stabilizing folks here on DB smile

BTW Truegritter...I have a yellow shark. Found the snap works best on the UNDERSIDE of the wrist.

One more question. Why are PMs disabled on the board?

Sleep well DBers.

Interesting choice...I like it.

The sleep thing is tough.

It lasted about a month for me. I seemed to wake up the same time every night.

If it gets bad try a sleep aid.

Another suggestion is to read that always works for me to go back to sleep.

How is your detaching and GALing going?


My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am

Stillt-

For the longest I kept waking up feeling him laying next to me when I knew he wasn't. A body pillow works well for that. You can wrap right around it. Ambian CR works great just use with care. ( I work for dr's) Xanax will get you through this just don't abuse it.

I used to call them 3:00 epiphany's. The epiphany being that I'm middle aged and going through this sh#t.
