Insomnia is pattern of my life
Most people who suffer from insomnia can not get off to sleep, not me. Oh I have insomnia all right, but it is not the getting to sleep that is the problem. It is staying there. I do all the things that are meant to help. Warm bath, clean cotton pajamas and bedding, warm milky drink, herbal sleeping tablets, the lot, all to no avail.
I go to bed at ten o’clock, read a little, nothing to demanding just a little light fiction and never TV and then at ten thirty lights out, sleep by eleven, then awake by three.
It is not that I do not need much sleep I just wake up and I am tired, bone weary tired, but sleep will not come.
Any more until the following night and I know it. I do not even try any more, I get up and know I am in for another exhausted day. This has been the pattern of my life for the past couple of years and I can see no end.
