Cant sleep

it happens to me, but rarely 2 nights in a row.

the 2nd night i usually sleep like a rock.
when i do wake up i say a little prayer of thanks

the worst thing you can do is lay there thinking about the fact that you can't sleep.

i read or get out of bed -- A2k has been my friend on many a sleepless night...

Material girl, I think sleepless nights happen to many of us. Often I have said, "goodnight" on this forum because I am very tired, then suddenly find myself totally awake. I think much of it has to do with events of the day; should this become a pattern for you, however, you might want to consult a professional.

My boss had a go at me yesterday morning(which cheeses me off) but that cant account ofr the night before.

Maybe I just think to much about silly things.

It was odd tho because as soon as I felt like i was drifting off my body would wake itself up, like a punishment.Soooo unfair!

My eyes ache.

This happens to me almost everynight... I will be basically asleep and all of a sudden I wake up with a gasp usually, like I scare myself out of the sleep... It is like a tease

If it keeps up I'd see a doctor or you can buy over the counter sleeping pills, like tylenol pm, but just don't make them a habit

Thanks for the info, not keen on tablets so promise I wont be a pill popper.
Yep, I can remember at one point i was almost asleep and my body did an almighty jault, like you get when you think your falling in a dream.

Tylenol PM is very mild. Only take one and it should do just enough to keep you asleep.

Hokey cokey, if it happens tonight il look into buying some.

Slept alot better last night, woke up a couple of times but managed to drift back.

Good MG, I am happy to hear that... I heard the less you think about how you can't sleep, the faster you will fall asleep!

Thanks.I went to bed about 9ish, the thing is my family were out so I was drifting off as they came in late and that made me wide awake again.
Hopefully Il zonk out again tonight.
