    Default Awake awake awake. I want sleep!

    Oh fun. I'm supposed to be asleep again and I woke up panicking over my job interview. I'm not supposed to be awake for six hours! Now I'm browsing via my phone. I think I'll have a cup of tea but it never helps. How do I stop waking in a panick? It stopped for a little when my boyfriend went on holiday and I had time to myself. If it's not one thing...

    Take some slow deep breaths...soak in a hot bath...and drink some Chammomile tea.

    I don't get panicky, but it does help when I can't fall asleep. Although, I won't be able to do this again until after the baby is born...but ok.

    Is tea bad for the baby? Or do you just have a hell of a time getting out of the tub? I prefer darjeeling tea. Is that caffeinated?I don't have a tub, just a shower. Damn. Wow, I post like a ping pong ball.

    LM, your still up? I had one red bull 12 hours ago and am still wired.

    I know all about the job interview worry. Warm bath/shower Chammomile tea work. Don't drink too much chammomile tea. Any more than a cup or two will give me weird dreams. I think there is a post in the lounge I started about insomnia.

    I love weird dreams. I don't think I have chamomile tea. Damn, I want crazy dreams. My cat's now getting grumpy at me because I keep waking her to play. Odd how I can have five red bulls at work and sleep instantly but a job interview that's over will wake me up. At least my boyfriend in the States gets back in two days so I have something to look forward to. Alone and awake.

    Will you take my weird dreams then? Oh wait I want the good but weird ones.

    I could just imagine what I'd be like after 5 red bulls. I'd either be a gibbering mess or convulsions, or trying to take over the world. I could just imange going out like that. Then again everyone does get effected differently

    5am still up.

    Had chamomile tea with honey. Hoping to get your wild dreams! Reading a book to relax. Still awake. Cat still angry. Caffeine doesn't ever seem to effect me much. I'm the woman known for triple shots of espresso with eleven sugars. It never wakes me up. Don't see the hype. Crap, I woke the neighbors. If you were in Brisbane, I'd say we hit the casino.

    Oh, the tea is fine for the baby...pregnant women are not supposed to take hot baths. Lukewarm baths are fine...but they're no fun.

    If you don't have a tub, then you can just sit under the shower for a while...not the same and a bit of a water waste...but usually when you get really warm, you get sleepy. Well, at least it works for me.

    Kava kava (all natural) helped me sleep when I had insomnia. It was a gentle passing out in my bed. Not the dizzy feeling you get from sleeping pills.

    LM if I was in Brissie, I'd take you up on that offer! At 6am still going strong. Eyes just barely tired.

    There's water restrictions here currently. A long shower is highly frowned upon. Might steal one anyway. The book sucked so I threw it across the room. The annoyed cat ran outside when I tried to let her baby in. The tea helped a little. I have to be awake soon to get my last pay from work. And now the kookaburras are laughing! Damn.

    I finally passed out on the couch to magpies singing, and the odd kookaburras laugh. The tea is ok in moderation. I think I usually need 3 cups before the dreams set in. Despite what others will tell you, it should be drunk with honney, otherwise it is too bitter.

    Pity about the water restrictions.

    This may not apply now since it is near mid-day What about hot milk? If I have warm/hot milk I induces sleep. Red wine also makes me tired/sleepy. Then there is the (illegal) kind that when I used to do it (only did for three months due to this side effect) helped induce sleep even if I tried ever so hard to not want to sleep (a lovely thing sometimes called mary jane).

    My boy is highly against any form of illegal drug use, otherwise I would. Just respecting his wishes to not have drugs in our house. Hot milk never works. I should have had wine though. I ended up falling asleep for three more hours. Now I'm on my way to my speech therapy. I'm tired, but better. I had some insane dreams! And I drank it with honey!
