I would kill for 8 hours of sleep!!! BRBR

You and me both....I suffer from bouts of insomnia...it's something I've
just
learned to live with...I know that eventually I will collapse from
exhaustion
and get sleep. The part that I hate is that I tend to become emotionally
wrecked the longer it goes on.

I have found that working out harder in the am with my strength training
and
doing the yoga in the evening has helped me relax. I am sleeping better. I
have
also cut out the snacks after dinner. This also seems to be working.

But sleep 10 hours....only in my dreams, I have way too much on my
plate...when
I even attempt a nap, trust me it NEVER happens...BF can do it..hell he
would
sleep all day if I let him. Drives me absolutely nuts!!

I've always needed 8 hours of sleep. I go for days on end with 5-6 hours of
sleep, add to that a very busy work day with little or no breaks (so busy
these days that the time goes very quickly), after school activities, an
hour of workout time (varying intensity depending on the day) sometimes
broken into two 30 minutes segments, and taking care of daily household and
other life tasks. By the weekend I honestly need to collapse and catch up,
so 10 hours comes easy at that time. Keep in mind I get up twice a night for
potty trips :) Thank goodness I don't have children.

I used to have insomnia that was stress or hormonally based (depending on
time of the month). Yoga and meditation combined with aromatherapy has
enabled me to fall asleep at will if I'm in my own bed. I still have a hard
time sleeping in moving vehicles and hotel rooms.
