Rantings of an Insomniac
In general, I have a hard time sleeping at night. I'm not totally sure the reason for this, but I know it has been this way for several years now. Now that we live in an apartment it is an even greater challenge. The person next door to us snores...ALL NIGHT LONG! It drives me crazy! The irony is that I also snore...all night long. In fact, last weekend I stayed overnight with my sister and I snored so badly that I snored her right out of her own bed. So I guess it isn't totally fair to be upset at the neighbor. So with the neighbors snoring, an overactive bladder, restless leg syndrome and a gnawing stomach, sleep is hard to come by. I even had to sleep on the couch once because Justin's breath was bothering me. (*disclaimer: Justin usually has very good breath-almost always. It's just a pregnancy thing). Anyway, most nights I don't sleep well until I go out and sleep on the couch. Good thing the couch is comfortable. And thank goodness for NAPS!

I can just see the expression on your face as you typed this! I also have been sleeping some on the couch, it's hard to get comfortable with Audrey right next to me. I think once the kids are grown, I'm gonna sleep for a couple of years.
Jen told me about how thin the walls are at the apartments.When they lived there they could hear everything their neighbors do.
I also have a hard time sleeping at night. I just can't turn of my mind. I think about everything .
Ah my ittle neurotic. Some questions: Are you too hot or cold at night? Which ever it is, change it. Cold feet will keep you awake as will being too hot. Is the room dark or does light come in? Make the room darker if light is coming in. You might try ear plugs and a blind fold. You will need to make sure Justin knows the blind fold is for sleep only. LOL You might try no stop watching TV at an earlier time. A warm bath with some soft music might me nice, a candle or two as well. My strong femine side coming out. LOL Writing in your journal to get the clutter out of you mind and on paper. You may try getting up earlier and taking no naps. You will need to build into this. Oh, in your journal, write out those things that cause you concern, make you anxious, angry, etc. You should discuss this issue with your Doc.
I love you,
You know what I like about you – you’re not embarrassed to admit that you snore. I admire people who are REAL (versus so many other blogs I read that are all like “I’m so perfect, my kids are so perfect,” etc)
I can empathize with noisy neighbor woes – we live in a duplex with thin walls and night-owl neighbors who play loud video games past midnight. Makes me want to punch the walls. But instead we just started sleeping in the living room where the wall isn’t connected to the neighbors.
Dang straight you snored me right out of my bed! It's all good. I slept just fine once I left your loud self! Smooches!
