baratronWoohoo: I've just bought two tickets to go and see the Wildhearts on Tuesday. (Long-time readers of this journal will know that they've been my favourite band for a very long time.) I have sorted out a nice chap from the Wildhearts mailing list to give me a lift down to Portsmouth, and more importantly, back again; whilst getting to Portsmouth should be easy 'cos there's direct trains from Surbiton (which is 5 minutes on the bus from here), it seems there's engineering work on Tuesday 30th and the last train from Portsmouth back to London will leave at 22:24, which would mean leaving the gig ridiculously early. Eep. All hail Chris, person with a car.
Now I have to make sure I get to bed at a sensible time: I have a long day at work tomorrow and I can't afford to be late. I have to get up at 11am, which is quite reasonable really - thousands of people are happily awake by then - almost in the middle of their working day, some of them. But that means going to bed by, oh, 3am or something - and how am I going to guarantee being tired by then? let alone tired and able to sleep? Argh. I need to get a new body clock - there must be one available for download somewhere...

Re: to work on sleep...
Date: 2002-05-02 06:00 am (UTC)My mother has horrid sleep problems, and apparently lacks melatonin - sounds very much like you really. She's been to sleep clinics and doctors, taken all the pills, none of it will work on her.
I guess with a problem like yours it's doubly important to keep, or try to keep, a proper schedule and try to keep it. Although it's hard not to take what little sleep you can actaully get, or it is for me. This includes putting my head down and falling asleep at dinner tables.
Have you ever tried trazodone? It's a long shot, but it really will probably help you sleep, at least for a little while.
