Ah, yes. The punch line to one of MagickMarker's favorite jokes.

I sleep 3-4 hours a night and once or twice a month I'll get a night were I reach 6 hours. Back in my 20's I went 3 years sleeping only a couple times a week so I'm okay with the amount of sleep I get now. It can always be worse.

I've been routinely waking up a couple hours before my alarm and have not been able to get back to sleep. It may be, in part, because I'm trying to stop the pain med I was prescribed for my knee. And the other part is too much on my mind.

I've been waking up every morning at 1:50, and having trouble falling back asleep. Then when my alarm goes off at 3:30, I don't want to get up. I'd guess it has something to do with too much on my mind too, but why that exact time?

I have something worse than insomnia. Cats.
My mostly wild one has been waking me every morning at between 02h30 and 03h30 or so to get fed.
Sometimes she comes back at 04h00 for a second helping.
And the other one wakes us at least twice a night too. He even wakes me when all he wants to do is be accompanied to the door because he's going out.
Stupid cats.

Just say no. (and yes I've had cats) Eventually with a good set of ear plugs they will come around to your schedule.Avatar wrote:I have something worse than insomnia. Cats.

Went back on my pain medication and slept well last night. Guess it was the knee pain keeping me up.

Argh. Nyooooo!
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
