HEY! snapperhead! Where are my dumbells?!

Try taking creatine before bedtime. It can't hurt - follow the directions.

It did wonders for my sleep and that wasn't even the reason I was taking it.

Cicero · 01-05-2009, 09:04 PM

I'll look into it. Thanks!

Update: I'm actually going to therapy today!!!

For your somnambulism? Let me know what happens, Miss Sleepy-Walky.

Cicero · 01-06-2009, 01:42 PM

I'm sleeeep-walkin?!?

Get referred to a sleep clinic.
I have no idea how that works in the US - I assume you have to pay for it.

Hre, if it is affecting your waking life you can get referred by your GP. It's something that HM was always trying to get me to do, but I felt the poor man (my GP) was handling enough of my problems already. Now I kinda wish I had, as I'm in the safest place on earth (my parents') and my sleep issues are not improving.

I've put the latest in another thread. Or I will, when I find it! This is future posting, a time travel I am currently experimenting with.

Cicero · 01-06-2009, 07:07 PM

Yeah. That's what happened today. We are going forward with therapy but I am also supposed to go to a GP and let them know, to possibly be referred to the sleep clinic. I don't want to take meds. and luckily the therapist understands. I told her that doing drugs was topical and that I wanted to fix the nature of the problem. I'm glad she understood. But yah, in the future I might be at the sleep clinic.

It's scary when you can't believe yourself, or know what is going to happen next.

She started saying that there might be a drug to fix it because I might have problems with my inhibitor. I said no to drugs.

Just say no!

I bet I am the opposite of her other clients. Put me on sleep meds? Hell no.

monster · 01-06-2009, 10:04 PM

Cic, what physical exercise do you get?

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2009, 08:32 AM

I was taking Ambien for a while when I was recovering from my double compound fracture...it was the only way I could sleep. Trouble was, it made me never want to get up. I too would stay away from sleep meds, though I imagine for some people it's the only way to let the body rest.

I walk a lot. My job is really physical, an I have started running. I was just talking about that in the exercise thread.

She has a neurofeedback machine. We are going to play with it. It's supposed to work for ADHD and other sruff. And It maps my brainwaves. Of course just because it looks fun doesn't mean it will work.

monster · 01-07-2009, 04:17 PM

The running sounds good. Have you noticed any difference in your sleep patterns since you started that?

Shawnee123 · 01-08-2009, 08:27 AM

I don't know. I have a really hard time sleeping when I run. All the jostling keeps waking me up.

Cicero · 01-09-2009, 01:54 PM

No monster not really. I am running harder today with my pup because I was surprisingly not effected the last time, and my muscles didn't hurt when I was done. I'm in better shape than I had imagined..

The therapist thinks the running is good as well....just in general of course.

That's the other thing. What if I start sleep running?!? lol!! That would suck.

This is the update: My insurance provider can cover the visits so I don't have to pay out of pocket! I was worried about financial problems and fitting this in, so this is awesome news today!! This will be the first time I haven't had to pay for therapy out of pocket! So I have happily filled out all the preliminary forms that were tedious and not well-worded...but i am happy to do it!

Fantastic. Just fantastic.

If you haven't noticed, this a thread for me to work things out in my own mind with it. Thank you for your suggestions and joining in! I mean where else can I say: Holy shit I am sleepwalking again!?! Fu**.

I wish I had really good dreams, then the sleepwalking might not be so bad.....

lol!! Sex Dreams? Gimme...

I'm glad I don't have many flying dreams or I could be really f'ed. lol! Is that cicero on the roof with her arms spread?!? lol!

Thanks for listening. I don't wanna be a boob but things got alarming.

I don't want to worry about this anymore on top of all the other whatever going on. This is a huge relief! Uuuh thank you for your patience.
