Yes, yes I am. Wow. Yeah, that would definitely lead to some sleepless nights. I'm glad things have improved for you lately. For me, when I do have sleep issues it comes in batches. I'll be fine for a long time and then have a week or two where sleep is hard because I just can't get to bed or just can't get to sleep once in bed. It goes back to my childhood, where I would only sleep in 1 to 2 hour increments and then I'd be on high alert in case my abuser tried to come into the room. It took years and years and years to stop that jacked up sleep cycle but it's so easy to slip back into one that is not healthy, so I have to be vigilant and even possessive about my time and how I use it at night. Curfews help. |

I don't know what type of work sponsored health insurance you have, but my work sponsored health insurance plan allows the PPO (your primary physician ) to refer one out for certain alternative health treatments -- up to 5 visits, per each type of recommended alternative treatments. So, I have the January 2017 issue of Prevention magazine, and the news article I posted about appears on pp's 64-73. On page 72, is a little green colored box of contact information for readers to use, to check and see if you can find a board certified technician and if they accept the type of health insurance one has, as counting toward payment of services rendered. There are 3 ways to find a practitioner for any method of treatment spotlighted in the news article (pp.72): 1) More than 3,000 sound healers are featured on the website at Sound Healers Association (www.soundhealersassociation.org) 2) Many energy healers have training in multiple therapies. On the website for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (www.nccaom.org) , you can search for practitioners by zip code, specialty or both. 3) The Boston Brennan School of Healing website (www.barbarabrennan.com) lists contact information for hundreds of graduates. Seeing this story the other night when I couldn't sleep gave me the idea to look up and see if anyone at my Center for Natural Medicine might be listed as an credentialed, board certified healer. If I find someone locally at my center, then I'm gonna call and see if they take my health plan insurance and if they do, and my primary doctor can refer me to them, then I'm going to see about getting all three treatments (acupuncture, sound therapy and hands on healing therapy --with plant essences). I'm feeling pretty relaxed tonight, so I'm headed to bed shortly, after a nice long bath. I hope you and others and myself included get some good sleep tonight.....sweet dreams to all and Night Night.

I'll use it on occasion but not enough to build up a tolerance to it. It's entirely likely, if you do use it on a regular basis, that that is what has happened.

I'll keep all of you posted too, on what I find out. I probably will be able to get some sort of idea on my situation by late April, early May. Last night I slept fairly deeply, but not as long as I would have liked to slept. I am going to start my bedtime rituals a little earlier tonight. I spent some time outside today and although it's still kind of a struggle to walk, I walked with my walker for about an hour or so.. Going down three flights of stairs and going back up them, after an afternoon walk on the property was tiring, but I'm trying to build up my strength. I see the Cardiologist on Wednesday (I thought my appt was tomorrow). I hope to get some good news. I'll learn about the results of my month long heart study, the extensive echocardiogram testing and other heart news trivia. I've got my fingers crossed for good news.

I used to take that occasionally, last summer, and it seemed liked it worked? But as time went on and I needed it more, it kind of didn't work....so I quit taking it. I know that's probably not too newsworthy, but my concern taking it was about it messing with my allergies because it's like taking those benadryl tablets, with out the advil part. I've heard or maybe I read it on the bottle, that if if doesn't help you after two weeks of use, that you should see a doctor about your specific situation.

I can't sleep, so I have broken into my last remaining box of Girl Scout Thin Mints. I also lowered the temperature a little, so maybe that will help. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I have really got to get some tonight. If none of this works, I might try a glass of .

In the early hours of the morning, last Friday, something really really bad happened in my neighborhood. So, since last Friday, tragedy has affected practically everyone, including myself. I have had a hard time getting to sleep...I usually turn in for the night around 9:00-9:30pm, but since last week, I can't seem to sleep, worried over my own safety.... like, last night, I couldn't fall asleep until way after 1:00am.
I hope it's different tonight, that I can fall asleep and catch up somehow, at least feel more rested in the morning.

I seem to be plagued by insomnia lately or at least not enough sleep. I am not sure why but I am looking into my day to day stuff to see what the cause might be.

I don't know why this thread petered out, except everyone must be getting excellent sleep these day.
Everyone except me! I went to bed 4 hours ago and I can't find a single comfortable position. My back hurts and my knees hurt, and there's no position that is comfortable to all 3. I took 800 mg. of ibuprofen, and my knees are better but it hasn't touched my back pain. I tried the heating pad, no luck. I took an extra half of a sleeping pill, hoping it would just knock me out, but no cigar. Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!
