      Hi georgie

      finally fell asleep in the chair about 5am. Had two hours. 

      My my problem sleeping has been with me all my life. My mother, her mother, my sister and I all suffer/suffered the same

      I don't think I can ever In my life remember sleeping through a whole night. I get so jealous of my husband who, can sit Down in a chair and within minutes fall asleep. He could sleep on a clothes line!!!  

      Never mind been dealing with it for 60 years. The thing is we have no choice but to soldier on do we

      storm cleared the air a little but still very hot. 

      have a good day

    Carol,

    I've been suffering with sleep depreviation as well (7 weeks) and really can sympathesize with you.  I have recently had a breakthrough with some natural remedies.  First, drinking 2 8oz glasses of tart cherry juice (one in AM/one in PM hour before bed).  It has to be tart cherry juice--research has proven it contains natural melatonin and aides in sleep.  Also, I have started drinking a cup of warm milk with honey when I go to bed.  I'm not a milk drinker but was willing to give it a dry.  I've slept soundly and for 6-7 hrs straight since starting this routine.  Give it a try (at least the milk).  I hope it helps you relax and get a decent night's sleep--so important to our healing process.  I should also tell you that I have taken myself off of caffeine and do not nap during the day.

    Sweet dreams (fingers crossed)

      Thanks so much

      nice thought but I have dairy intolerance so cannot drink milk. Have tried everything in my time,  I can cope with no sleep when I'm well. 

      I tried to nap today cos  so tired, lay down and was wide awake!!

      hey ho. I will get there. Hope you're having sweet dreams
