I have a problem! It's a stupid problem but nonetheless it is bugging me. My husband just switched back to graveyards AND I CAN'T SLEEP! I told you it was stupid. But about two or three times in the year I go through this and I am miserable.
Everyone tells me I will get used to it but it has been several years and guess what? I'm still not used to it. It's not that I am afraid, I just can't sleep alone. I have tried working out before bed, sleeping with the t.v. on, sleeping with the t.v. off. listening to my ipod, reading my scriptures, taking a bath before bed, drinking tea. Nothing is working!
I am such a morning person. (Under certain conditions).....I have to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep and then I'm up, happy and ready for the day. This has totally thrown my whole schedule off.I haven't exercised one single bit. Because right now I hardly have the energy to walk from one end of the room to the other.
This morning I woke up with bloodshot eyes and huge bags under my eyes. It has taken all I have not to cry. The worst part is that I hear my husband snoring and it makes me so angry. Why does he get to come home and sleep and I have to stay up and be Mom and go to work when I didn't sleep a bit? And then when he is up he is wondering why I can't even make dinner without bawling my head off. (dumb, I know)
Anyways, I am open to every suggestion. I am at the point of drugging myself in order to sleep. Please send your ideas my way and help this tired Mommy get some sleep.

Try taking Melatonin, its a natural pill, but your body makes melatonin too...this just gives you a little extra ;) I use it on my kids when they are having trouble getting to sleep, and I take it sometimes too. One thing I like to do when my hubby is gone at night is turn on my humidifier, the constant noise helps me sleep better and I'm not hearing every little noise. Hope you find something that helps :)
You're worring about it too much! If it's constantly on your mind, then you for sure won't be able to sleep. Just don't think about it, read a long boring book, and then go to sleep!!!
Sorry. I don't have any good ideas. My idea would be drugging yourself;) Hope it gets better for you soon though! Is it the sleeping alone part? Would it help to have one of your kids sleep with you?
