Your hormones and cortisol levels are probably more out of whack that perimenopause bringsHugs, Vennitta Hi all,I took three super lovely rest days Friday- Sunday. I took some naps, which hit me just right. I'm still struggling with chronic insomnia. I had a super long nap on Friday, and BOY, did that help. I dozed off during football yesterday. I find football SUPREMELY boring, and maybe I should watch it when I'm having my insomnia, LOL. I should videotape it and watch it when I'm up at 1:00 a.m. Bores me to DEATH, LOL. I actually felt better today just from getting caught up with sleep. Today I did my walk commute plus a lunch walk. The route totaled about 6 miles. I did a couple of run segments in the morning, and it went fairly well. On the way home, I picked up a bunch of groceries at Trader Joe's. It's half a mile away from home. Came home with a packed backpack and two full cloth sacks. Did curls & triceps extensions with the bags. Had an ipod mix with a fast walk bpm, and that was fun. Happy workouts!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Interesting, but it doesn't really fit. Actually, it's the other way around. The insomnia started because of the ringing/roaring sound in my ears. It gets loud at 1 or 2 in the morning and actually wakes me up. I think that if they can't solve that hearing problem, I'll probably get used to it in time. I am so unstressed in my life. I love my job and actually look forward to it. At the end of the day, I love coming home. DH is great. Kid is easy. Bills are paid. I'm a lucky, lucky girl! Although I don't think it's a cortisol thing, who knows?

Hopefully yesterday's MRI shows that I'm just getting older it's just wear and tear. Meanwhile, i'm in really good spirits.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have LOTS of stress in my life right now, and I sleep like a stone. It may help that I take Flexeril (a muscle relaxant) at night. It helps the TMJ/bruxism cause by the stress, but I think I would sleep well otherwise. My biggest sleep problem is getting to bed at a decent hour. Night owl DH doesn't help there. Indyrose > > > >> ** > >> > >> > >> Hi all, > >> > >> I took three super lovely rest days Friday- Sunday.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I truly believe, from my own experiences as well as others like you, that attitude helps tremendously! I keep trying to convince DH of that and he isn't so sure. He seems to think you just have to suffer through whatever you have to suffer through (unfortunately, the rest of us suffer with him and then he thinks I'm unsympathetic which I do become after a while). He does try to experiment with my method too, and is lately, so I'll quit complaining too! :-) Re: Friday-Mon rest and walking I know! LOL! No Googlies! I should know by the end of the week.

The insomnia started because of the ringing/roaring sound in my ears. It gets loud at 1 or 2 in the morning and actually wakes me up. I think that if they can't solve that hearing problem, I'll probably get used to it in time. I am so unstressed in my life. I love my job and actually look forward to it. At the end of the day, I love coming home. DH is great. Kid is easy. Bills are paid. I'm a lucky, lucky girl! Although I don't think it's a cortisol thing, who knows? Wait a minute, you have insomnia? Couldn't the be a big reason why you are having these head issues? Your hormones and cortisol levels are probably more out of whack that perimenopause brings Hugs,Vennitta Hi all, I took three super lovely rest days Friday- Sunday. I took some naps, which hit me just right. I'm still struggling with chronic insomnia. I had a super long nap on Friday, and BOY, did that help. I dozed off during football yesterday. I find football SUPREMELY boring, and maybe I should watch it when I'm having my insomnia, LOL. I should videotape it and watch it when I'm up at 1:00 a.m. Bores me to DEATH, LOL. I actually felt better today just from getting caught up with sleep. Today I did my walk commute plus a lunch walk. The route totaled about 6 miles. I did a couple of run segments in the morning, and it went fairly well. On the way home, I picked up a bunch of groceries at Trader Joe's. It's half a mile away from home. Came home with a packed backpack and two full cloth sacks. Did curls & triceps extensions with the bags. Had an ipod mix with a fast walk bpm, and that was fun. Happy workouts!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I truly believe, from my own experiences as well as others like you, that attitude helps tremendously! I keep trying to convince DH of that and he isn't so sure. He seems to think you just have to suffer through whatever you have to suffer through (unfortunately, the rest of us suffer with him and then he thinks I'm unsympathetic which I do become after a while). He does try to experiment with my method too, and is lately, so I'll quit complaining too! :-) Re: Friday-Mon rest and walking I know! LOL! No Googlies! I should know by the end of the week. Hopefully yesterday's MRI shows that I'm just getting older it's just wear and tear. Meanwhile, i'm in really good spirits. I get up and convince myself that I'm better, and then I plunge into my routines and avoid stuff that hurts. It's all good. Plus, I'm so grateful to have insurance! Oh gotcha...so strange, I'm not doing any Google searches either but I want an answer for you, grrrr Vennitta Interesting, but it doesn't really fit. Actually, it's the other way around.
