Oh, phew. I know. And I don't mean to brag. I'm very lucky. I hope you can figure out a way out of the Chronic Insomnia club. I have actually had a few nights where I've lost way more than a half hour of sleep, and it is the WORST! Insomnia Remedies: Oh, no! Oh, phew. I know. And I don’t mean to brag. I’m very lucky.

Just kidding. It's just that for 15+ years missing only a half hour ofr sleep each night would have been a trip to paradise. For a decade and a half I awoke at 2AM (almost on the dot) and couldn't go back to sleep. When I was younger I used to make fun of 'wussies' who whined about missing sleep. What's the big deal? Then I became a charter member of the Chronic Insomnia club and suddenly it really became a big deal. Enjoy your sleep while you can and I hope it's always that way for you. I hate you!

That's hilarious. I'm sorry you're a bad sleeper. I'm sure the snoring doesn't help. My husband has begun to inform me that <em>I</em> snore, which is ridiculous.

I've had insomnia for as long as I can remember. Trouble falling asleep? Check! Trouble staying asleep? Check! On the rare days when I DO happen upon 8 or 10 hours of blessed slumber, when I do awaken to greet the new day, I feel as though I'm drugged and really unable to function. I'm not sure why however. And the cat, thankfully, none of ours sleep with us, they all prefer the children's beds. My husband snores like there is no tomorrow. There are many nights where that awakens me. Usually he can be moved. Others, he'll actually wake enough to argue with me about the fact that he was not snoring. UGH! <em>Jamie's last blog post..<a href='http://serialmommy.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-eldest-son-and-my-sister.html' rel="nofollow">My Eldest Son and My Sister</a></em> I’m not sure any of those remedies would really work for me.

Although Suki thought it meant "attack my feet". I swear she thinks she's a cat. <em>Corrina's last blog post..<a href='http://www.myrandomblog.net/2008/06/07/my-next-fix/' rel="nofollow">My Next Fix</a></em> The wiggling was surprisingly relaxing!
