OK! It's 5:00 in the morning, can I stop counting?!!!!!

The abolutely, hardest, scariest part of this whole mess is insomnia!

I cannot functjion without sleep!

I cannot really cope without sleep!

What about you? I know the statistics are very high on autoimmune diseases and insomnia. In some research, insomnia is part of the diagnosis.

Sleep it is said is an active and vital state that builds and nourishes mental and physical health.

National Geographic talks about sleep, "stocking your memory banks, soothing your emotions, pumping up your muscles, easing stress, bolstering your immune system, fights dementia, and even keeps the pounds off!!!!!!! Wow, I can blame the situation on that last one!!!!! ha ha ha

The article further goes onto talk about the discoveries and social costs of sleeplessness! I remember many years ago a doctor saying to me, "you will finally sleep." I never went back to him. He wasn't hearing me, nor hearing the desperation one feels when you cannot sleep. As mentioned several times, when our first child was born, and I could not sleep, I was desperate to get restorative sleep, so that I could take care of the baby the next day.

How has insomnia affected you?..How has it been treated?

Have the treatments been successful?

I wish I could say that Melatonin has helped me;;but, it is like taking a sugar pill!

..

From Me to U!

I hope that you have a wonderful week!

Hang in there!!!!
