Re: Insomnia


Thanks Kazz, the breathing techniques did help, they are the ones I used to teach in antenatal class; not much good for labour pain I should imagine but helped me to nod off
Yes I think since Ceri's illness I've had more stress and that has had a knock on effect on my metabolism and hormones. During the day I can keep going although I have to say its more mental than physical activity, perhaps I should be more active. Apart from doing housework some days I don't get regular exercise and I hope to remedy that soon.

Re: Insomnia


Coule be lack of excercise maybe you need to be physically tired as well as mentaly exhaused...........befoe you get back into a sleep routine...and I think it is a routine as much as a neccesity.

Re: Insomnia


I have no advice.. but feel for you.. there is nothing worse than not getting enough sleep.. when I was ill a year or so ago, I couldnt sleep and ended up on tablets to help.

Not taking anything now, and can fall asleep very easily.... but alwasy wake up so early!! Soon as I am awake, my brain starts going full pelt thinking of all the things I have to do..

Do you have lots of things on the go at once? Maybe sorting out a few bits would help your brain sleep too when it is time.
