Frustration

[Guest guest]

Good Evening ; )

Like a lot of you I have trouble with insomnia.

Sometimes it is because of pain. Sometimes I slept too

much during the day. Sometimes demons from the past

rear their ugly heads. Sometimes I don't know why, I

just know when I lie down that I am not going to be

able to sleep until the sun starts to come up.

I always have trouble sleeping when I have an

appointment the next day. When I finally so sleep I

sleep so sound that alarm clocks, phone calls, being

hit with a pillow - nothing wakes me up. I try to

limit my outside comittments to 1/day and I schedule

it late in the afternoon. I try to not schedule

commitments two days in a row.

Last night, I knew I was going to try to get both dogs

to the vet today. I was worried about managing that

and I couldn't go to sleep. In fact, I took all the

extra pain and sleep meds that I have 'as needed'

doses of. I ended up with a migraine. I went to sleep

about sunup.

My neighbor whom I pay a small amount a week to help

me with chores, came over and stayed with a repairman

who was coming to work on my furnace while I slept. I

had to cancel the trip to the vets, scheduling it to

tomorrow. I slept until 4:30pm.

How do other people handle their sleep problems and

making appointments? Do other people have a problem

like this or is it just me?

I'd appreciate your feedback.
