The more you NEED to sleep, the less you can. quite a conundrum.<BR/><BR/>Jay: the monkey on the bicycle has many tricks; insomnia is only one of them. <BR/><BR/>Virgo: thinking about thinking is the worst, most advanced form of insomnia, I think.

Deprived of my customary bucket-loaded anaesthetic I sat propped angrily in bed staring at the walls and defying sleep to come. At times I thought so hard, I even thought about thinking!<BR/><BR/>Eventually sheer exhaustion took over but the sleep that brought was not therapeutic, merely functional. Many months passed before real sleep came to bring natural relief to a tired body.<BR/><BR/>No help at all Patry but at least know that another periodic insomniac understands.Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1122090491172775882005-07-22T20:48:00.000-07:002005-07-22T20:48:00.000-07:00Thanks much for this post.

I always wondered what makes people so different one another.<BR/><BR/>But it's good to carry and remember the advice of people no longer with us. It always makes me smile, alleviating the melancholy somewhat...Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461471128865537538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1122002291812153162005-07-21T20:18:00.000-07:002005-07-21T20:18:00.000-07:00Oh my I think I am going to cry.
