Just curious but is it a rule when you become middle aged that you can't get to sleep anymore?
Insomnia is making me nuts. Well so is my husbands snoring, and so are my adult children, and so are the things my 9 year old comes home and tells me, and so do the things that are going on in our country, and our city, and our world.
I wonder at what point that all this stuff started bothering me, or if I just wasn't aware of it before?
I've been reading about insomnia and ways to deal with it naturally, I've been praying and meditating. Playing with my Yoga Ball and contorting my body into positions that are supposed to be relaxing. I'm also drinking chamomile tea, reading, taking baths, all the stuff they say your supposed to do.
But in the end it is 1:00am and I am wide awake writing.
If any of you have any tips you would like to share, I would be happy to hear them, and try them if I haven't and maybe even do them again if I have.
Also, I think it's more of a girl thing....let me know what you think, and for readers who are older than me (45), does your sleep come back at some point?

Good luck with the sleep thing, been there done that. It took me about 3 years but I am finally sleeping well again. You'll be fine, just warn those around you to wear their tin foil hats to protect themselves from your wrath.
While you're up at all hours, how about planning a plant swap now that spring is here? I would be willing and able to contribute and would love to reap the benefits!

Have you tried Melatonin, used to work for me. Another product I've used is called Zinfandel.
Instead of counting sheep, etc., I keep repeating "ohm" in my mind, hopefully to keep multiple subjects from bouncing around in there. Good luck.
Jen,
I love the plant exchange idea.
I'm on it!
I have quite a few perennials that have outgrown their space, plus a fig from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, that is prime for taking cuttings of this week and started in a loving garden.
I'll dedicate a new post so we can arrange it.
Thanks for the idea!
Wait til the hot flashes begin and the covers are your enemy!
So I snore....
Just wake me up if you want a little something to put you to sleep in 4 minutes and 52 seconds....
