Insomnia. (1)

Six years without an incident. Now, it appears to be back.

Well, sipping Woodford and burning through season 4 of SOA.

This is going to be a rough week.

I’m about to finish season 1…probably will be done w the series by NewYears
.

Cannot believe I missed this show. Great tv.

But, I have learned that I like these series a lot more when I control the flow and don’t have to wait week to week and season to season.

well Netflix is the origin of the phrase “binge watching” No commercials + continuous loading = hours go by without notice
.

I recommend this site to explain some of the SOA stuff. Great background on patches, characters, etc.

SOA season 4. Suddenly, I am craving chili …

Shit gets real in season 4.

Damn.

He doesn’t like it, but, the weim is going for a walk with me. The other three dogs are looking at me like I am nuts. At least the wifie is able to sleep.

I feel your pain. Working night shift and dad duty by day. I don’t think I’ve slept more than 2 hours at a stretch in nearly a week.

I get bouts every once in a while. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to not watch something interesting, that just makes it worse. I now prefer to download an audio book and it helps turn the mind off.

You could take advantage of the time zone difference to do FaceTime with Bone Idol in the middle of the night.

Ha! Awesome!

I started reading before bed for that same reason.

Took the weim for a walk and actually fell asleep around 4 for two hours. Not good.

What did you do six years ago to go on such an amazing streak? I’ve tried all the standard stuff and what has helped, but not fixed my sleep issues, has been a white noise machine and wearing yellow work safety glasses for about 2 hours before bed.

Acupuncture. Dead serious. Docs wanted to put me on meds, but, I refused. Wifie pushed me to acupuncture. I did it to humor her and get her off my back. Thought it was bunk. Went 2x per week for 4 weeks, then once per week for 8 weeks, then monthly for a total of 6 months. It was gone after over 20 years of it. Don’t know why it worked. Don’t care. If it continues, I am going back.

Edit to add: it started working after 2 weeks.

Time to make that acupuncture appt.

Yep.

Frazier is the perfect insomnia show

And who said torture doesn’t work.

I tend to watch a lot of Encore Westerns on Dish.

I also tend to play mindless games like Solitaire and Farmville types. They bore me to tears and eventually turn my mind off.

Once I get my mind thinking through problems or planning things it can be almost impossible to go to sleep. It doesn’t even have to be anything serious or interesting.

I’ve tried obsessive masturbation, but that doesn’t make me sleep at all.
