I know how you fell, I have had bouts of sleeplessness a few times.  Its tough especially when you think about it.

When I'm sick, I sleep. Always have. Sorry you can't. Try reading a good(or bad) book while laying down and see if that helps.
 M wife used to wait tables. When she'd get home at 1am after being on point all night she had a hard time going to sleep. Someone suggested she takes calcium(with magnesium) to relax her after work...and it worked. Folks used to drink a glass of warm milk, the same principle. Go get you some calcium/magnesium tablets. They are cheap where ever vitamins are sold...and you won't get a hangover.  ;)

Thanks I'll give that a try.I wound up watching family guy episodes until my brain cells started leaking out my ears and my eyes glassed over.

...also, Benadryl is a sleep aid. I know if I take one I go right to sleep.

Benadryl is my go to. The one combined with Aleve is what I like most. Do not take with alcohol at night. It is suppose to wreck your kidneys or something.

Sleep, sleep, sleep, what I wouldn't give for 3 or 4 hours straight. Had my shoulder fixed a week ago, no way to find a pain free position to get to sleep in. The pain meds work but I won't take them because of the side effects. I have 6 hours of rehab every day that leaves me feeling like a sore zit, all over.

We all take sleep for granted until something crops up that reminds us just how precious a good nights sleep is.

Ever wonder why good mattresses are so expensive?  I am wound tight when I get home from a night of snow plowing. Reading really helps. Even if I have been up for 24 hours, I still can't hit the rack and sleep. Whiskey helps too.  >:D
