That's what I get ... Also, I find it hard to sleep if Tim and his white noise, anti-snoring machine are gone. It's probably part missing him and part that the sound of the machine has become my cue to sleep.Burkinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827054732044828157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21523260.post-70547510431189182762010-02-03T00:48:04.235-06:002010-02-03T00:48:04.235-06:00I am so glad to hear that this is not just me!

The ER doctor actually gave me a vicodin the other day, and I really didn't want to take it - but he said that one was perfectly safe for the baby . . . so I did, and it was the best night I have had in years . . . years! If you find a solution let me know. I go through fans annually.*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06515541963939688052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21523260.post-25671616701277326022010-02-03T00:17:59.574-06:002010-02-03T00:17:59.574-06:00I long for stay asleep sleep too.

It was not ...I sleep as soon as I hit the pillow. <br /><br />It was not always this way. But having four kids has made it impossible to sleep for long stretches.<br /><br /> I taught myself (of of necessity) to sleep. On a good night I am up only once, but on those nights where the children are extra needy? I can be up and down upwards of 8-10 times a night. After I am done tending to them? I can fall right back asleep (only to be woken again an hour later!) so I think it was my body just physically giving into sleep rather than something I trained myself to do....<br /><br />does that make any sense? LOL<br /><br />Sorry you are struggling. Have you tried melatonin??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
