Angry or upset?? dunno
Something has upset me tonight and now I find that I just cannot sleep mad
What do you do if you find yourself in this situation?? sad
I cant sleep when im angry or sad, i have to find some sort of distraction.I used to go out and play hockey in that situation, regardless of the time. I used to write depending on how strong my mood is.
:lol2: Well I cant play hockey so that suggestion is out of the running... Writing though?? Hhhmmm... Now that might be a good idea wink

Just give yourself a release, i played best due to anger, it gave me a rush which made things easy to deal with. Find something that gives you that release.
Do you think I would wake the neighbours if I screamed really loudly?? dunno
Perhaps I better not :giggle:
Sod them, lock the door, and scream.
rotflmao I will wait for the police to arrive then Drew wink

I know exactly how that feels Shireen.
It's been two nights now with very little sleep and certainly I have no answer.
Pissed off, angry, upset, yep, it does not bode well for sleep.
I had a lot of that last december, I would read my book in 20 minute stints to take my mind elsewhere, then try and sleep again If not I would read again. I'm lerning now to shut my mind off from stuff I can do nothing about, was not a happy bunny last night but theres not anything I could do to change the situation so got an ok night sleep.
Hope you not to tired today :therethere:

no i cant, i tend to find my mind goes over and over the situation and i cant get it to behave, it took me a good couple of hours last night to go to sleep.
its not just angry or upset though, its anxious, worried or excited

Sometimes, though more when upset than angry. When I was younger the sleeplessness was more apparent but now I try to work on the principle of 'if worry can't fix it then why waste the worry' - doesn't always work I have to admit.
If I remember correctly the sleep experts advocate getting up and doing something productive before going back to bed. I've now got a bedside which also gives out white noise and it's effective in blocking out mind gymnastics too.
Not much help but I do empathise!
:P
One of my many on going problems is insomnia sad .
However, I find that been angry, worried or anyother strong emotion usually makes me wake up early. :(
My frame of mind lately has thrown my sleep pattern to the wind. Not that I had much pattern anyway with all the night shifts.
I find I'm laying awake until 3am then sleep for a couple of hours then awake again then sleep until 10. Not doing me much good I know sad
The worst thing to do is try to sleep when you're angry. I find having a good cupboard clear out works wonders to vent the anger. Sod whatever time of night it is confused
If im angry or upset, then sleeping is always difficult, best thing for me to do is just get up and watch tv or come on t'internet for a while. However, if im on a downer and feel depressed then i can sleep and sleep and sleep and not stop sleeping!! Almost as if my mind shuts down...

I can't sleep unless I'm fed, watered, calm and relaxed and tired!
Okey dokey.........

I did have some flowers when I got home :D :kiss:
I am so glad that I am not the only one who has problems sleeping when we have something on our mind... It has been happening a lot lately because of the problems with our son as well confused
One of the things that worried me most last night (and yes I know it's daft redface ) is that if I dont hear from him when I should do I get myself worked up thinking he has had another heart attack surprisedops: I am not as bad as I used to be as I used to worry everytime he was out of my sight. Now I just worry if he away for the night or travelling long distances... For me worry transpires into anger :oops:
I should have known he would have forgotten as he was yakking about cars and motor racing rolleyes :lol2:

When I have these feelings, I'm lucky as I have a large Punch/Kick Bag in my garage and I go and kick lumps out of that for a few hours.
Not only does it help my aggression levels come down but if any burglars happen to be passing by and hear me, they must be scared shitl*ss.
rolleyes

White noise machines are sold as privacy enhancers and sleep aids and to mask tinnitus. White noise CDs, when used with headphones, can aid concentration by blocking out irritating or distracting noises in a person's environment.

If you scroll down all the technical stuff you get to the above sentence! It's a form of 'wash' and bland noise which blocks out other sounds which could serve to annoy or keep you awake.
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
White noise (amongst other things) makes me go a bit mental. :shock:
In edit: Ok maybe not my best post. lol What I mean is it over stimulates my brain and I can't stand it, it's almost painful.
