[...] reading a post by Mrs Micah, I realized that I too have a sleep debt. I work about 55 hours per week at my day job, and roughly 16 on my small business. [...]

You are welcome, Mrs. M.

I hope it works for you as well as it worked for me.

Thanks, FatherSez. I’ve given certain types of yoga and breathing a try. But I’ll check out how you do it.

Not being able to sleep just plain sucks.

I used to have problems falling asleep at night (my mind just goes and goes), and then I joined a gym that offers cardio kickboxing classes at 6 am six days a week. I have been doing it for 9 weeks an my insomnia has completely disappeared.

And I agree with fathersez – yoga can be great too.

I am really blessed in this issue. I sleep like a log most nights.

There was a time when I had some serious work related problems, and I practiced a yoga method. It worked for me.

Perhaps, Mrs. M, you should give this method a shot.

I have written about this in one of my posts.

I used to have horrible insomnia, so I know how you feel. It got a lot better in college, but now I keep a small prescription of ambien on hand for emergencies. It’s just not worth it to suffer through the week.

FYI–my family physician told me that if you take some benadryl (the non-drowsy kind), it can help you get to sleep. It has a small dose of the same medicine that’s in sleeping pills. It’s supposed to work better than the OTC sleeping pills (those do nothing for me).

I usually sleep really well, but I also had trouble getting to sleep last night and getting up this morning.
The hubby and I plan to go to bed early tonight, so hopefully that will get us on track with DST!

This is so timely for me. With all the stress in recent months I have not been sleeping well and daylight savings time hit me hard. A friend had given me a gift certificate for a massage and I traded it in today for a rei kei session. I felt great and got home, sat down on the couch and just now woke up from a 7 hour nap. I guess I was tired.
