Good Morning, fellow insomniacs.....

Hey, all....Just posting on here killing time before clinicals. Any other early morning peeps up yet? (or at work, killing time before bed?)

I usually don't have trouble sleeping, but I guess my mind is more nervous about the first day of last semester clincals than I am! I haven't slept more than 3 hours at a stretch tonight, and have been burping up some gas/acid feelings for about 1.5 hours....Finally decided that I'd be more tired sleeping, than just getting up....

Anyone else have that happen once in a while?

Good Morning!!! This was ME yesterday! I could not sleep then up really early- yesterday was the first day back and it was arrrghhh! The room was a million degrees and very uncomfortable. I was in class from 830 until 345 then ran home for quick visit to check on things and back for 530 to 830. Made for a really, really long day. (and I had a terrible headache that heat made worse!).

Today? I woke up with the same migraine I have had since yesterday- uggghh! I have an appt with my ENT doc for follow up from my T& A and going to ask he thinks it is sinus related...... Hoping for relief at least a little, from the excdrin I took.

Have you tried pepto for your tummy? I can't get the stuff down but the pills work pretty good. Also, backing soda and H20 works well for acidy stomach.

I do have bouts of insomonia here and there, usually when something stressful is happening like a test or something, and lately I think b/c of the surgery my schedule got flipped around and I was up half the nite. Like I was stuck on nite shift!

What has helped me is I cut out caffeine almost completely, and may stop alltogether very soon. Hard to give up that am cuppa tea!

Hope the day ends up being a good one for you!
