How did I just sleep another six hours?

Please don’t rub it in.

Another night of insomnia. No desire to do this again. Trying melatonin for the first time tonight.

I’ve been dozing off randomly lately. Probably trying to catch up after not sleeping for almost 48 hours.

I slept about 7 hours last night in between picking up my buddy’s wife from work and dropping her back off at work. That let her get a bit more sleep.
After I left her store I grabbed breakfast and ate that before passing back out. Glad I did as I had to reset my sleep schedule. It’s starting to warm up so my body is flipping out.

I just got back from Disney World, my son and I went for the weekend. I had some banked points to use up from my DVC membership or I would lose them. We saw the new Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios on Sunday, it was pretty cool. We went on the Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster and where it crests at the highest point of the ride, you can see into the area where they are building Galaxy’s Edge. It looks AMAZING so far!!! I can’t wait for that to open, it’s going to be awesome!! If you’re a Star Wars fan, it’s something you will definitely want to see! They are already expecting the crowds to be overwhelming when it opens, and I’m really, really, really hoping that Disney is considering a fifth theme park at Disney World based totally on Star Wars. That would be insane!

Gotta be honest, really haven’t been feeling the Rastakhan Rumble thing in Hearthstone. I don’t play Hearthstone, but I like looking over the cards and themes on the wiki, find it can interesting or inspiring. But… eh, Hearthstone sort of doing the same exact theme as WoW at the same time with no new spin, and WoW doing it in a more personally enjoyable way (action-RPG over card game).

Venting about that here because, not being a player, I don’t really have any place bringing this up on the Hstone forums.

It’s a good marketing thing. I really enjoy playing the Rumble though.

True I suppose. Synergy across the Warcraft franchise.

OMG, I love me some melatonin. Lately, it’s the only way I can get eight hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep. Gives me really weird dreams, though.

I have bad insomnia as well; As most of you know I have a Mother that I’m caring for that has her days numbered due to stage 4 going into stage 5 Renal disease. I’m constantly getting up to check on her every couple of hours.

I tried Melatonin but that didn’t work for me; I finally had to see a doctor on my sleep disorder; After getting all these wires hooked up to me and given a sedative it was determined that my brain functions were keeping me awake, They tried 10mg Ambien (zolpidem tartrate) one a night but then increased it to two a night, Also I take two 10mg Diazepam (Valium) and if I’m lucky I get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep and then back up to check on Mom.

Insomnia sucks, I went through this when I was taking care of my Father as well, After my Father finally passed I slept 10 - 12 hours a night without any sleeping aids at all for almost a month before returning to normal.

Mast, I hope that it continues to work for you, Always keep in mind there’s usually an underlying cause to insomnia, If you can nail down the cause and eliminate it then you can beat it, As for me it will be when my Mother passes and is in peace.

The next thing will be having to deal with my mentally challenged, Bi-Polar deaf sister who doesn’t know that Mom is passing; That will be another challenge for me when that time comes.

Sorry to unload this on all of you; Mast, I hope that you can find the underlying cause rather it be your stress on the job or whatever else it may be, I’ll be thinking about you and everyone else that has this horrible problem with getting a good nights sleep.

Peace to all!

Soooo much running around this morning. Got up at 7am to do some lab work, then I gotta take my Brother in Law to work at 9:30, then speed back to pick up a neighbor and take her to the food bank. THEN I can go back to bed.

Oh I know why I couldn’t sleep. If I can’t turn my brain off, it is a done deal. Last night I crashed, hard. After falling asleep at the computer on a flight path haha

We called our raid early, which was nice. Passed out. Like I said don’t think the melatonin worked as I was already falling asleep before I took it.

But it stayed in my system by God. Got up made wife breakfast fed the kids who are on spring break, and passed right back out lol.

Now I know Shadow the Cat is doing better, watched him jump a 3 foot fence to chase Ms Sassy (another cat that adopted me).

As soon as the mating season is over, gonna get him fixed and shots.

Overslept with a weird dream that felt more like a game or movie. (I don’t remember much besides it happening inside a two-story building, with a lot of people, and there being two separate individuals who were killing for very different reasons - one for power, one trying to get to me and some object or power I had. Last thing before I woke up was me catching this kid trying to get into my things, and them seeming to go into a hypnotic trance telling me why they were getting it for her. Initially I was going to send them back empty-handed, but then I decided I had to attack her head-on because I didn’t want to be responsible for her temper lashing out and killing the kid. :roll_eyes: )

Dropped my car off at the shop this morning. Something in the front was rattling on rough roads. Mechanic called this morning with the diagnosis. Forgot everything he said once he gave me the estimate. It’s always way lower than I imagine it’s going to be.

Very relieved that it fell well within my discretionary budget, which is still healthy enough that I can go ahead and get the handful of things that have been sitting in my Amazon cart while I panicked about having to sell a kidney.

May you all find the balance you need on this Ostara, or party down for the Bacchanalia as is your wont.

I’ll continue as a confirmed optimistic agnostic as I’ve been for lo these many years, with respect for the views of others, at least those who also demonstrate tolerance.

Looking forward to the reduced priced matzo I always buy around Passover (I do like matzo with butter and cheese, sometimes ham) and all the candy around Easter. Spring is a good season.
