Likewise. Just had my after work coffee with whisky in it, and now it's time for bed. Enjoy your day at work, suckers!

Can i suggest my cure for insomnia? Melvin Bragg's In Our Time podcast from Radio Four. I download it every week on my ipod and then listen in bed. I always fall asleep before the end, there is something about his voice that sends me to sleep.

Somnus herbal tablets ?

I had a bad dose of insomnia on Wednesday night...

I went to bed at 01:30 feeling fairly tired, but made the mistake of doing a Sudoku puzzle before going to sleep. That got my brain working again and I ended up staring at the ceiling until about 07:30, thinking about my many fantasy plans for making a million on t'Internet! Next thing I knew, it was 12:45. My brain felt really scrambled all day yesterday...

I used to suffer quite badly from insomnia until I read a report that said that simply lying still in a darkened room in a totally physically relaxed way actually delivers 90% of the health benefits of sleeping. Whether or not it's true I really have no idea, but it took the hex off not being able to get to sleep. To the point where I relaxed enough to ....fall asleep. The mind is a funny thing...

finally dosed off around 6am....just got up....changed my inner tube now I'm exhausted.

 

[Headgardener]

Is this a regular thing Big, if so perhaps you need to see a doc for some help.

finally dosed off around 6am....just got up....changed my inner tube now I'm exhausted.

I'd strongly resist wearing an inner tube to bed bo - sets the pulse racing...

I think I was just about falling asleep then - couldn't sleep or find a comfortable position. Hopefully tonight will be better.
