Beds for the insomniac's heads...

Rainbow-Angel · 24-11-2010, 06:42 AM

Okay guys...

I'm starting this thread to be a bit of a drop in thread.

I find it almost impossible to keep to normal sleep patterns, and get a bit lonely sat awake at the early hours when there's not many people who are available to chat... so I figured this might be a good place to come to when you're feeling lonely etc., esp. when that can be triggering to your EDs.

It's a place of general love... serious posts are okay, but try and be aware of where hide boxes might be appropriate.

I hope that tomorrow night I might have some company here!

It's nearly 6am however, so I can start making a noise again without worrying about the neighbours.

Love you all,

Rita x

Hey there.

I'm still awake too.
I've been having a bad night with b/ping & depression, but this thread is a good one, thank you for creating it, very good idea, might help many of us here who are likely to have a bad night especially with their ED's + insomnia.

How are you going?

Awesome thread girl!

It's only 1am here, but I am still awake as well. Hi Sarah, how are you love?

Rainbow-Angel · 24-11-2010, 07:10 AM

Hey guys... I'm glad you like it! Like most things on RYL we probably wish we didn't have the need for this but I hate the limbos of long nights. Infact, even my cats do... cos I get grumpy :/ I'm not too bad other than that though. Just been watching endless programmes on BBC iPlayer and now I'm going to try and do some housework before going to uni. I'm exhausted but not tired :(

Sorry you've had a bad night Sarah, what have you got planned for the day ahead? Something nice and peaceful I hope?

I hope you manage to get some sleep soon Jess. Do you have any tricks to help you get to sleep?

I better get on and be useful now but much love to you all... I'll probably catch people around and about... given the different time zones between everyone on RYL I reckon the posts will be coming in randomly if people take to this thread.

Jeez, Rita, have you gotten any sleep tonight?! You poor thing *hugs*

I took my sleep meds...they did zip. Now I'm trying to shut my brain down...but it's not working at all. Today's going to be rough. It's the third anniversary of something traumatic that happened to me. So I'm a big mess :[

Hope you have a nice day Rita!

Rainbow-Angel · 24-11-2010, 07:27 AM

Nope not a wink :( I think part of it is food induced though, because my body suddenly has more energy than its been used to lately... still theres a cartoon called salli mali coming on which looks cute so that will amuse me as I start to move!

I'm so sorry today's going to be rough :( If you want to talk about it feel free to PM me, but I send you hugs anyway to see you through... xxxxxxxxxxxx

Buttercup. · 24-11-2010, 07:39 AM

That makes sense. And yay for cartoons :)

Thank you hun that means a lot. I think I might give my therapist a call in the morning and see if she can come up with a safety plan with me.

Buttercup. · 24-11-2010, 07:42 AM

I think I'm gonna try and get some sleep. I have an appt at 10:30...so I want to be able to go to it without falling asleep!

*love and hugs to all*

Rainbow-Angel · 24-11-2010, 07:45 AM

Have a good snooze and good luck with the therapist and your 10.30 appointment! Hope the day goes softly for you! xxx

Buttercup. · 24-11-2010, 09:37 PM

Ok so technically, I should be awake, but I didnt sleep last night

And I doubt I will tonight.
So I figures I'd make myself comfy now.

Buttercup. · 24-11-2010, 09:48 PM

*starts mouth to mouth* hehe

<3<3

Caffe_al_Caramel · 24-11-2010, 11:52 PM

I have a very weird sleeping pattern as well,, I feel super tired/sleepy around 7pm (can feel my eyes closing) and of course I don't know go to bed then (once I did and I woke up at 11pm and was awake until 5am),, anyway,, once it's 9pm or later I dont feel sleepy anymore and am full of energy, so I am awake until like 2am, when I finally fall asleep.
The problem is I must wake up at 6 or 7 am, to go to Uni. = tired all day.

Meh,, it's almost midnight here and I have to wake up at 5.30 tomorrow :(

Buttercup. · 25-11-2010, 12:48 AM

Aw, have you ever tried Melatonin? It's a natural sleep aid that might help since you have such a strange sleep pattern.

*squishes tightly* :) im boreeeeed

Rainbow-Angel · 25-11-2010, 03:10 AM

*waves at all*

I've been poorly... :(

Slept from around 6ish up until now... which means I slept all be it at utterly the wrong time.

I had to turn around when driving today and come home cos I was far too ill to drive.. i went all dizzy :(

So I'm kinda here and kinda not... but how was everyones days?

I might just go shout at the cat, who thinks its acceptable to cry at the bathroom door at 2am....................

risenfromperdition · 25-11-2010, 03:14 AM

haha silly kitty

Rainbow-Angel · 25-11-2010, 03:32 AM

Utterly silly............... but so cute that she never really gets shouted at.

How are you today?

Cryptic. · 25-11-2010, 03:36 AM

awake at this time again ha, nothing new.
im just lying in bed trying to keep myself from doing something very stupid(on my other thread about whats going on, dont think i should say in here).
watching buffy the vampire slayer.
hmm think might change the disc again.
hows everyone tonight>?

Rainbow-Angel · 25-11-2010, 04:17 AM

I pm'd you honey... no pressure to reply but *hugs* for you. I see why you didn't want to post any of that on here.

I think Buffy sounds a good plan... I'm a little bit boring... I'm watching Watchdog on BBC1's signzone. I don't know why I love this show so much! x
