Sleepless Frustration

It is 2:10 a.m. and I am unbelievably frustrated.  I cannot sleep. Sleeping pills do nothing for me. Buying them is a waste of money and taking them is pointless.

It's not like I don't get tired.  I get crazy tired and I feel like I'm going to pass out.  But as soon as I lay down; pop, my eyes are wide open and my mind is running 90 miles an hour.

I have suffered with insomnia since I was 15 years old.  I have taken so many different sleeping pills (prescription and OTC) and natural remedies I could probably be classified as a lab rat.

One of the worst side effects of not being able to sleep is that I want to eat everything that isn't nailed to the ground.  Right at this moment, I want to go rummage through the fridge and the cupboards and find snack.  But, I am going to be strong and resist the temptation.  If you follow my other blog, "Losing It," you know that I am on a journey to get healthy and lose weight. Tomorrow morning I have to weigh-in.  So no mindless noshing!

So, I'm wondering, are there any fellow insomniacs out there who have found a solution?  I would love it if you would comment on this post and give me your suggestions.  I've tried a lot of remedies, but I'm willing to bet there are plenty I don't know about.  

Till next time....God bless!
