must be on vacation, or skipping me the last few nights.  Even my daughter has been having trouble getting to sleep.  For me it is getting to sleep and staying asleep.  Boy it has been brutal.  Not sure what it is with my daughter, I first thought it was because I changed her room, I was quick to change it back the next day.  But here she is again at midnight still awake.  I think it might be were it is Easter and she know the Easter bunny will be bringing her something soon.  As for me I don't know what my excuse it.

Nothing really on my mind, the finances have been better then they ever been.  Bills are paid, food in the house etc.  So I can't say it is any of the normal things.  Maybe it is the changing weather I have been finding it a bit warmer at night.  Maybe time to take a blanket off the bed.

All I know is I hate when I can't sleep.  I even went back to bed this morning once the kids were off to school and still never slept much.  Oh well it has happened before and in a few days I get sorted out.  It is just in the between time that is is hard to take.

Do you ever have trouble sleeping?  What do you do to get back on track?

I didn't sleep for thirty years. (only an hour or so each night). I passed out at a redlight. Thank God, I never took my foot off of the break. That's when the doctor put me on Ambien. That has been an no and off thing every since. The computer helps me to relax enough to get to sleep for a few hours; and now I work at home. So I can get three -six hours most of the time. I wish you all the best. This started after I had children.

yikes sorry to hear. Kids do have a way of making you a light sleeper for sure. I am sure things will get sorted out for me, just hate waiting for it to.

I have had trouble sleeping ever since starting menopause.
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 6, 2012, 7:43pm UTC
Sorry to hear that, I hope I don't have that trouble when my time comes.

Wow, I've never had that problem! I'm always able to fall asleep easily.......especially these days with so much work, trying to get the living room remodeled........I've been falling asleep about as soon as I hit the bed! Maybe try drinking something warm before going to bed or do something vigorous, like cleaning house. Good luck......hope you're able to get better sleep soon!

I think sometimes I am either over tired or not tired enough to sleep. I am sure I will be fine tonight once I go to bed. Was up till 3:30 am with my daughter last night she was having trouble staying asleep for what ever reason.

sorry to hear. I think sometimes I am either too tired or not tired enough. Got to maybe change up things to get me more active in the day and see if that helps.
Sandy Moore Apr 6, 2012, 12:18pm UTC
Every once in awhile I have trouble sleeping. I don't do anything special things just work out so I start sleeping again. I hope you can start getting some sleep.


Thank you for sharing with Watching The Wind Blow By
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 6, 2012, 7:47pm UTC
things are the same with me, I might have a night or two and then I am fine once again. Just seems to happen at the wrong times.
Sandy Moore Apr 7, 2012, 10:39pm UTC
I know what you mean about it happening at the wrong time.
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 8, 2012, 5:17pm UTC
I am hoping that tonight I will be tired enough to sleep and get back on track.
Sandy Moore Apr 8, 2012, 7:54pm UTC
I am keeping my fingers crossed that you get some sleep.
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 9, 2012, 7:41pm UTC
thanks I hope so too.

I have been having such a hard time in the past two weeks. A couple of nights ago around 2am I posted on my Facebook page: Oh sleep! Why doth thou play coy?
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 6, 2012, 7:48pm UTC
lol I don't remember the last time I updated my status over there, the thing is I am on there everyday. But I know what you mean. I think I need to just get up and read or something when it happens might help me to get tired.
Audrey A. Apr 7, 2012, 11:08pm UTC
I'm able to fall fast asleep quickly and if I do wake up in the middle of the night (usually my little ones waking me up) I can go back to sleep but a few weeks ago I was waken up about 2 am by my oldest and when I put her back to sleep, I wasn't able to get into a deep sleep until close to 5 am and I was tired all day.
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Apr 8, 2012, 5:17pm UTC
It takes me time to get to sleep that is why I try to read for a bit to wind down from the day. I usually don't wake in the night but when I do it takes me some time to get back to sleep. I think I need to try and be more active so I am more tired at night but then again the last couple of nights I was tired but still couldn't sleep.
