Insomniacs unite

[flyingdumbo127]

and extra prayers to everyone. How are all of you doing? Nighttime sleep is still so hard for me. I am extra grateful for all sleep and rest of course. I pray that my cycle will become normal again soon. I find myself watching a movie on my Kindle most later nights while praying to fall asleep which eventually thanks to God I do. I will sure never take or being able to sleep in my God willing one day soon for granted again! I still sleep in a recliner chair. Extra weekend hug and love to all.

I hope you are able to get some sleep. The kitties woke me. They are now happily staring out the back door. I opened the door and it’s a full length screen door. Hopefully they see some good bird activity.

Bah. 3:30AM and no sign of sleep. >sigh<

Thanks, Daisy. Prayers you and everyone else are catching more zzz's. The past couple nights have been better for me with sleep coming middle of the night for a couple hours or so each time. Bathroom break in between. I still sleep mostly during the day. Grateful for all sleep and rest. It's just so hard at night when I am laying down wanting to sleep but not. Grace of God, I continue to heal from my feet issues. I pray to have found a solid PT option at last. God-willing once I am fully recovered, my sleep cycle will normalize again. I sure pray so. Sweet Dreams dear friends

I woke up at 4:50 to my my cat standing in the bed talking to me. He never does this, his sister is usually the one who wakes me. I went to pet him and took off running. I follow him downstairs and he jumps into the a window looking into the backyard and starts meowing. My dad was out there picking peas and Boris thought I should know went out and helped my dad pick peas.

they take their jobs seriously

Us insomniacs are like drunks, we make friends easy.
An all night donut & coffee shop here brings in the most interesting and friendly people.

Like a Raymond Chandler novel.

I found changing sleeping locations sometimes helps. I put a streaming You Tube on and that usually helps. RTV1 or OOS Motoring videos.

I had a rough next day ahead once and couldn't get to sleep.
Finally dozed off.
Then my 7 year old daughter woke me up and asked if tomorrow she could move her pony tail from the back of her head to the top.

Thank you and welcome to our kind thread, Dive Bar Casanova. Prayers indeed for peaceful sleep for you and your family. I sleep in this recliner chair. God willing sooner than later I will be recovered and back to strength, also able to sleep in my bed again. I definitely agree that my also unsonsciously wanting to be able to use my bed again is part of the issue. No complaints ever. Always praise and thanks. Blessed truly for all sleep.

Hugs dear Daisy. Thank you always for your kindness. I appreciate you so much and am blessed God made us friends. I start PT Tuesday. I will let you know how it goes!

Have a great Sunday and Happy Father's Day as well to all celebrating

Early Saturday morning hug and truly prayers all of you are peacefully sleeping. Mercy of God, I continue to recover from my feet injury and issues. I am also blessed to get a good 8 hours of sleep a day just not all at once.

Before my feet trouble started, as I may have previously shared, I was sleeping easier/better than ever. I do think (I sure pray) it helps that at least my sleep times right now are conistent every day. God willing when I am completely healthy again, I have faith my sleep cycle will normalize. One thing for sure is I have come to appreciate the blessing all sleep is. Sweet Dreams to all with a hug.

how is the PT going? Are you finding it is helping your feet? I hope you are feeling better and getting some rest.

Thank you for asking dear Daisy God has blessed me extra with a custom sent physical therapist named Vivian. Vivian has her doctorate in pt and a specialty in orthopedics. Dad and I pay out of pocket, a lot of money for us, to have her come. So she now comes once a week. I do my best to daily do exercises. Mercy of God I am healing. My feet are still swollen and tight. Left foot especially can twinge. By His Grace I have come so far.

I will be visited by my kind podiatrist, Dr. S, on Monday who I last saw as a patient at the end of March. Dad saw her as a patient in April. Dr. S was so nice to ask how I was doing after her appointment with my dad. I did get to briefly talk to her then. It will be a blessing to share with her my progress about pt and get her suggestions. I will share how everything goed. Thank you all so much for your extra care and prayers. Happy Saturday!

Good evening everyone

Grace of God, I continue to heal. I saw my kind podiatrist Dr. S this morning when she came to see both me and my dad. We are both blessed to be her patients and that she comes to us. Dr. S was very pleased by my progress. I had last seen her when she was her to see my dad in April. I last saw her as a patient at the end of March.

I am also extremely blessed to also have a wonderful physical therapist named V who comes every Thursday. V I truly believe was custom sent to me by God. She has a doctorate in physical therapy and a specialty in orthopedics! I've seen her now 4 or 5 times. On our last visit last Thursday, she and I agreed, God willing that it is His time, by the end of Fall I should be back to normal. I sure pray so. I also made it very clear to her that I want to be sure and take the time and care to heal completely, properly, and most importantly permanently! I do not ever want this to happen again!

Dr. S shared that V has been communicating with her which also made me most grateful. Dr. S and I agreed that 2 months will be a good time to see her again. I will put in an appointment request for that. Dad also had a good visit with Dr. S this morning (he has different feet trouble than I do) and will be seeing her again in the Fall.

This afternoon, I was so blessed to once again talk and pray with my friend Pastor L, a retired minister. L has always had a place in my heart since God had us meet back in 2015. I haven't seen her since the pandemic. It's been great to talk and also know she is in my corner and praying for me as well. How graced I am.

I am also blessed and thankful to God for all of you and your kind support. Have a good night. Prayers each of you get some good rest and sleep. God Bless you.

Prayers each of you are sleeping much better and always peacefully. I am so blessed by God to get a good 7-8 hours of sleep a day--it's just mostly during the day that I get it. Mercy of God to me I am recovering slowly but surely from feet issues. I have faith in His time I will be back to normal including sleep. Nights can still be long for me as I am up most all of them. I am NOT a night owl in the least. Before all this happened, I was usually asleep by 10. No complaints ever from me only I pray always thanks. Hug extra to all.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I am happy to hear your feet are slowly healing. I hope you will be pain free shortly.

The cats did not like the thunder storm last night so I got up to be with them. They both curled up with me so I think they felt better.

 

[BLTtinkerbell]

The rain woke me up extra early this morning. Hopefully I will get through the day without being too tired and then tonight I will go to bed early.

Here’s to a great day for all of us!
And a better night’s sleep too!

 

[AnnaS]

Not for me.....I am up/wake up every hour or so. Usually 3 am pretty awake. Fall asleep again a bit later and then it's time to get up. (I get even less sleep now since my DH passed ).

I try not to take anything each night.......after a few nights of no sleep, hard to function during the day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good morning to all.

Thank you, LoveDaisy so much. I'm also not a thunder fan. Prayers all is calmer today.

BLTtinkerbell, may the weather also be more restful today for you as well.

AnnaS just an extra hug.

Prayers for all of you with care.
