Update on Sleep Cones ~ Day 5 Went to bed about midnight and went to sleep within half an hour! Woke up 4 or 5 times during the night but went back to sleep again pretty quick!!  That is a good sign as usually when I wake I am awake for hours!!Fingers crossed they are helping  |

It's breaking the vicious cycle isn't it? If you can go to bed in relaxed mode, rather than in uptight, I must get to sleep tonight mode, chances of a reasonable sleep must be higher. it wil be fab if this can be sorted without resorting to pharmaceuticals.........you know I am a pharma-phobe!  |

since my stroke i get insomnia something terrible, soemtimes im sending emails at 3 am, 5 am all sorts. I saw the programme, last year i think it was, on the sleep study. they suggested if you arent tired leave the bedroom, and go into a different room until you a re tired, or you associate your bedroom with NOT sleeping. I find that works for me, when i go back upstairs to my bedroom Im off to sleep within few minutes. This is going to sound a daf tone, but another thing i try is sitting and thinking of things that arent real, as if i was ahving a dream, ie sometimes i imagine I am figure skating ( hilarious , as if you'd see me in a tutu skating lmao) or floating on a lilo in a pool. things like that. I find slowly i drift on and actually start to dream about stuff like that. Some nights i sleep an hour or two, some more. I NEVER EVER sleep through the whole night. Sometiems I am up to use the lavvy up to 14 times ( i counted once) but that could be diabetes realted. Usually Im awake for the loo on average three times a night. I also find lavender oil in a burner helps ( dont forget to blow candle out before you go to sleep!) I put my burner on for half hour before i got bed, with door shut. I have aslo tried relaxation cd's. one in particualr was excellent, until it came to the last few minutes where the guy says " and now you willw ake up feeling relaxed" cos i always DID wake up, though ive never heard the middle part of the cd lol sorry to waffle so much.  |

CJK, I get up most nights when I don't sleep and I'm usually downstairs for a couple of hours. When I go back to bed I usually go in the spare room so as not to disturb my hubby. Update on Sleep Cones ~ Day 6 I slept right through the night!! That was amazing as I very rarely get a good sleep two night's on the trot I am really beginning to believe in the cones! From now on I have to use them every other night, tonight being the first night without.....this will be interesting  |
