Can you sleep when you are...

If I remember correctly it's used also by people with tinnitus to block out the ringing in the ears. I use it at night sometimes cos occasional and seasonal noise from the road outside the bedroom window (Christmas and New Year taxis mainly!).
:P

I suffer from tinnitus, I wonder if it would work for me confused

White noise (amongst other things) makes me go a bit mental. :shock:
In edit: Ok maybe not my best post. What I mean is it over stimulates my brain and I can't stand it, it's almost painful.

:giggle:
That would be because of your Asperger's hun kiss

It takes a while for me to drop off to sleep when I`m upset and even though I do sleep it`s not quality sleep.
I end up exhausted the next day and ready to fall asleep all the time. :cry:

Insomnia is the inability to sleep.
How do you wake up early when you don't sleep?

Oo you know Insomnia too? :lol:
she's not my friend though, she always hangs out with my life-long enemy Red Mist and I dont like her much evil

She makes me do things like bounce off walls and type and delete posts about 20 times with steam power :lol: Thankfully, I either burn myself out before hitting the submit button or banish it to the archives of Word to look over at a later date and :giggle: to msyelf just how irate I can get in the wee small hours over fook all :scared: :lol:, or, I ring my mate Jack and he'll come round and sort her out - & those two have a proper personality clash sometimes! rotflmao

I tend to go to sleep if im worried or scared or upset i hide and sleep - I have also learned to sleep with pain (obviously up to a point). I now sleep with two fans blowing in my face and those relaxation sounds (one of waves crashing against a beach - and one of a rain storm both at same time) very loud. Hence i sleep alone which i have to say i miss the touch of my woman beside me. But fairs fair she cant handle it.
I also sometimes have trouble in the mornings as the fans have dried my eyes out which makes them painful. If however i hear high pitched beeping sounds or see bright lights. Then that gives me psychotic nightmares big time.
Sleep is the most blessed of things.
Having suffered very severe Apnoea i bless the fact that nowadays though in a strange fashion as described i sleep flatout 4-6 hours a day and thank all the gods that i i do.

counting doesnt help. thinking makes it even worse.
lay there and relax, and dont force your eyes shut.

Angry or upset??
Something has upset me tonight and now I find that I just cannot sleep
What do you do if you find yourself in this situation??

First I sit down and take deep breaths. Then I start to think about something else ,or do something that requires my concentration. I focus on that thing! It needs to be something detailed. The mind can only deal with so much at a time. I forget my state of mind, the hormones stop pumping into my blood, I go to bed.

You're right but Keeno is also right - it is the inability to sleep but is characterised by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleepfor a reasonable period.
"Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time"
My mam had this and spent hours trying to get to sleep only to find when she did she was only asleep for a few hours waking up feeling very very unrested.

Can't sleep at the best of times lately but certainly don't need a freaking party next door full of goddam chavs until 3am evil

I had a cure for that when it happened to us .... barged into their house at 3am and it was full of underage kids! One of them swore at me to get out and I spoke to the "owner" (if you can call an 18yr old squatter an owner) asking him to turn it down, when he laughed I politely told him the police could come out one of two ways ....... he called them because I'd ripped the stereo out of the wall, or I called them and reported the undersage drinking, drugs and sex going on alongside the music that had been going on all day! Either way I could guarantee that it wouldn't be me in trouble :giggle:
He turned the music off and kicked everyone out ~ we've never had a moment's problem since LOL

I have developed insomnia over the last few years. I find that I cant sleep if I go to bed too early ...pre 1am ish and when I do get there I have a sleep ritual which allows me to get a couple of hours in. After that Im only half asleep. I am therefore totally knackered during the day and get some of my best sleeps in dribbling over the keyboard. Hence I do NOT use my cam anymore since the day I fell asleep on cam with loads of people watching me. Not a pretty sight!!! redface

I do worry if I have a long car journey that I may fall asleep at the wheel so always keep the car as cold as possible no matter the weather. And yes Shireen I too find sleep impossible if someone has upset me .. but I do come up with some really good ripostes which I could have used at the time .... I try to remember them so I can slip em into the conversation the next time someone upsets me rolleyes

1 thing I won't do is take anything to make/help me to sleep .. that would be the pits for me. So see you other insomniacs in the forum .. middle of the night. If I dont answer its cos im asleep and ruining my keyboard. lol

I had a HORRIBLE night. My jaw was killing me so i couldnt rest my head on my pillow and my ears are killing me because i think I picked up some sort of infection when i was in the hospital. I was in total agony last night, i didnt get to sleep until nearly 7am :cry:

The pain in your ears could be localised from your jaw you know.. an infection from hospital would have shown within a few days of coming home not weeks. Either way, I would get back to docs as something could be happening there.

You know what the difference is between light & hard?
Well, I can sleep with a light on.
rolleyes

Bilko; of course you're weird, it's why we love you.
Callista; I like the way you think. I also like your gallery, but that's a whole other topic... Although it might send me back to what I said in the 1st place, so maybe not.
Dammit, now I can't sleep, either. confused
