Heidi ho, your friendly neighbourhood rehead here... unable to sleep... again...
1:30am and I have to get up at 6 for work. But here I am... sitting at the computer doing research and smoking cigarettes, with Mischief curled up in my lap.
I suffer from insomnia, pretty frequently too. I rarely sleep more than three of four hours most nights. When I do sleep, I'll sleep for 12-16 hours straight. So long as the pain lets me, anyhow.
I'm not sure if it's a byproduct of all my meds, or what... but sleep is elusive. Goddess bless the DVR lol. I find great things on television for when I am at work, and record them to keep me away from the infomercials in the wee small hours of the mornings. LOL I've learned lots of interesting science-y type things. I admit it, I am addicted to National Geographic and the Science Channel. Oh, and since the discovery channel folks created a new "mystery/true crime" station, I watch a lot of that too.
Anyone else a chronic insomniac?

I have weeks I can't sleep and weeks I can't stop sleeping.
The weeks I can't sleep, very much relate, up watching tv, only for me it's crap tv, I don't have pay tv. I don't know about you but after lack of sleep I feel hang-over the next day, worse feeling ever.
This is not good for any of us, sleep (lack of) is a huge problem for pain levels, health problems escalate. I've starting taking a relaxing bath before bed, making sure the room is completely dark, and a little drop of lavender oil on my pillow. Deep breathing/mediation and reading which always makes me tired.

MDs damaged my brain chemistry and EI does much of the rest, light is also a huge factor. So much of the effects on the brain happen in direct response to abuse of the eyes through light and/or focusing. In fact the eyes have to be the center of everything for me, but no one wants to consider it.
I'm not sure but during the recent ER trip an MRI or two were probably done, and X-rays, of brain, lungs, maybe chest. It's all mixed up since the orderlies were using "X-rays" to refer to all scans including MRIs. New one on me. They shouldn't do that. Anyway, all scans negative, whatever they were.
I've wanted a PET scan for 20 years.
