Insomnia

God I crave a good nights sleep at the moment.
Cant blame any kids that need my attention during the night coz they are old enough not to need me anymore.
Cant blame the tv coz its off by 10 oclock.
Cant blame the computer coz it doesnt interest me enough anymore to have me sitting there for hours on end.
Its just plain old insomnia!!!
I never was a very good sleeper but since my pregnancy with Ethan, Ive found it increasingly harder than I ever have before in my life. Im never asleep before 1am and no matter how much housework I do, or how much hot choco I drink, it never seems to make me tired. And even when Ive had a busy day and am so tired that my eyes are bulging out of their sockets, guaranteed, Im still awake early hours of the morning. The only time Im asleep at a decent hour is after days of sleeplessness and my body cant hack it anymore.
AAARGH!!

hey why not try some herbal relaxants - you could try lavender drops on the pillow or bath, although I must admit it hasn't worked for me. Reading in bed makes me tired though. Have a chat with a health shop and see what they recommend, it might help?

thanx 4 the tip mate but Ive already tried that 'sigh' it didnt help either. only thing left really is to try sleeping pills but im not too keen on that. see how we go. reading makes me tired too, but not enough to actually nod off. andru sez to use the herb that he still uses, which i think will work, but hate the other side affects these days
