Great post idea Boomer as I sit here wide awake . It takes me at least an hour to fall asleep, as many of you have mentioned of how the brain just wont shut up hehe . I have tried some of the things suggested, actually I think the benedryl worked the best, but when I wake up in the middle of the night, I cant take it cause then its too hard to get up in the morning, for me anyways . I have tried the alphabet and saying my prayers over and over and over, that does work too, but I still seem to wake up every hour, so eventually I just give up trying and get up .
Thanks for all the great ideas from everyone, I just love TOTV!
P.S. I can remember when my son was younger and he always wanted me to watch him play Nintendo, poor kid, I felt so bad cause I would be out like a light in seconds hehe . I think I will pull out some of my old relaxation tapes that I have stored somewhere down in the basement tomorrow...I am sure that will help with this insomnia . I guess this is a good time to catch up on my emails hehe .
Nitey nite all....sweet dreams.
