hi everyone
                    sleep wasnt so good. got about 3 hours tops :(. doc said no deal on the sleep aid. said it was dangerous when on 40mg citalopram.

Even though my sleep is out of sync, Im starting to get my spirits up and not worrying too much about it. But its awfully lonely as a non sleeper in a sleeper world

Hopefully i can turn the corner tonight!!!!

What is your night time routine?  How do you feel just before you head to bed?  How would you feel about turning off the TV and computer an hour before bed time and reading a book instead or listen to the radio while you are in bed or something like that?

hi amanda

                     im usually a bit anxious that im not gonna sleep when i get into bed. i usually have the tv on till i feel drowsy and then switch it off and try to sleep. i had a bit more sleep yesterday so i havent worried to much today about it. im not sure about the radio i think music might distract me. if i could find a boring channel that just talks all night that could work. :D

Have you ever tried replacing the anxious thoughts with positive affirmations?  It doesn't work for everyone but it might be worth a try maybe?  Have you tried reading until you're on the verge of falling asleep too?  That's what I used to do and still do with magasines even now!   :smile:

Watching TV and then feel sleepy, so turn it off, go to bed, and just cant settle, think it may have something to do with the tTV distracting the mind from negative thoughts

It might be something about a prescription review or a referral or something like that?  I'm glad you were able to sleep last night, hopefully that means that you're through the insomnia, like you said, but it might be worth having a chat to the GP when you see them?

Good luck!   :happy0158:

Joe,

I have just caught up as we went down to London yesterday and stayed over with my husband's sister and brother in law who is also his step uncle just to confuse you  ;) .

You seem to have so much going on even though it is to try and help you feel better.  Hope the blood tests come back okay.
