I think maybe I slept too much over the weekend. I went on another silent retreat last weekend. A few lectures, lots of time for reading, lounging, contemplating, and napping. I think maybe I'm all slept out! I dug out the Lunesta and popped one an hour ago. I got the bitter taste in my mouth 20 minutes after taking it, so I know I've absorbed it into my system... but other than a bit of relaxation it's not made me tired at all! I tried to lay down and go to sleep, but after 40 minutes of tossing and turning and driving the poor TinyCat crazy, I gave up. I think I'll take another half-tab (total dosage=3mg; normal dosage for Lunesta is 1 to 3mg). But it's probably pointless - I doubt another mg will do anything to cause me to sleep.
Grrr...
Did you visit Sam Adams. Sometimes beer keeps me awake. I have not had any in ages but that is how it effects me. Well even without it my sleep patterns are always off. Some times it is just wanting a bit of time for yourself. You will get some sleep soon.

Nope, I decided not to invite Sam over tonight... and I had my Coke at around 10:00AM, so I doubt the 40mg of caffeine is still affecting me. I've not had any Sudafed, speed, crack cocaine, coffee, chocolate, sex, anything to rev up the old metabolism.You are not having enough fun to make your self tired. LOL Eat a bowl of ice cream that always puts me out.

Oh hell no - I have a bit of lactose intolerance (or as older son calls it - "black toast intolerance"). Not good when trying to sleep!Well, I just popped the additional mg of lunesta, as well as a benadryl (allergies have been bothering me a bit; perhaps the benadryl will take care of them as well as give me a nudge towards slumber). I'm gonna start reading my book and hopefully fall asleep in 10 minutes or so!!! The TinyCat is getting mighty upset with this late-night activity. She desperately wants me to lay down (on my side) so she can stretch herself out along my hip and leg... and "knead" my calf with her claws (I just clipped and filed them, so they're dull).
Sorry I layed down a minute. the benydril should get it. I do not do well with sleep aids myself gave them up. Never tried Lunesta. The Ambien if it worked was only ever good for a nap. I have a rash so thats why i am up. I lead a very messed up life. Allergic to everything i need.
