For a long time now, I have suffered, and I have tried everything to fall asleep. Now at first, I put it down to stress, everybody does, too many things to think about, its not easy to fall asleep with so many troubles on your mind.
But then eventually, all your troubles are solved and you still cannot fall asleep. So you resort to "over the counter" methods, Night Nurse, Nytol. Nothing. Doesnt touch you, actually thats a lie it raises your anger level. You sit there at night, everyone else is sleeping, snoring, whatever, you are sat there, tired but when you close your eyes, funnily enough it wakes you up even more, because your kidding yourself. You try reading a book, no good, especially if its a good read, you become more awake and engrossed in the story. Through constant reading you now have tiredness, limp wrists and a bad back. So the book goes down. Now you are so tired you have to fall asleep, of course by this time everyone is up. Kids are playing outside with there mates and the missus is out and about doing her thing.
And there you are. Knackered. You fall asleep. 10:10 the clock reads, you wake up at 13:30. Still knackered but your awake now, thats it, youve had your fill of sleep, time to get up.
I know ciggy suffered for a long time with this but now im getting really fed up. Im at the stage where the bags look like bruises under my eyes. The one thing that worked a treat was to get ratted and let the beer take its course, but of course that isnt the answer.
Does anyone have any clue how to get to sleep? without the need of beer, herbal tea and counting sheep !
