Hello, all! I'm new to pillow talk, but hope to be a regular presence. I'm a chronic insomniac, going back to childhood. On a totally unrelated note, I'm also familiar with Ning, the platform for this social network. I'm interested in this technol...

- 6 hours
- About Me:
- I'm a chronic insomniac, going back to early childhood. The condition became worse after menopause. Doctors have told me it's in the brain chemistry. The best I can do is "nibble around the edges" of the problem with better sleep hygiene, regular exercise, etc. I've learned to live with it, although it's sometimes debilitating.
When I'm not sleeping I'm a writer, an entrepreneur with a web 2.0 consulting business in the works, and an avid amateur cook. I'm married and live in Arlington, MA.

Is it Time For Bed Yet?
I've been up since 4:30 this morning and it's 9:00 pm now. I thought I'd get an early start on bedtime - since I've been exhausted all day - but sleep did not come. I gave a presentation very early this morning, and I've been very preoccupied about doing it well. So, there was some stress beforehand. But I'm now finished and should be tired enough to hit the sack early.
But, I'm not. Sigh...

How Do You Do?
Hello, all! I'm new to pillow talk, but hope to be a regular presence. I'm a chronic insomniac, going back to childhood. On a totally unrelated note, I'm also familiar with Ning, the platform for this social network. I'm interested in this technology and run two other Ning sites as an administrator.
But - sleep! Right now I only get it with the help of medication and even that's so-so. It's the difference between poor sleep and no sleep. I recently underwent a migraine study and had to go off o… Continue

I recently found Xyrem and it is the only sleep aid that works for me consistantly. I know that it is prescribed for narcolepsy but many with ME/CFS are now using it as well. Mr Doctor prescribed the free sample and now I am looking patient assist...

I've noticed people have mixed feelings about Ambien...I'm one of them. One time I took it, and was out for a good 8 hours...no problem. My mother had it, and it only worked for 4 hours for her. My Dad (since deceased) had Sonata, and since I'd lo...
I still haven't found the right med(s)...or I'll become immune to the effects, and need to figure something else out! It's exhausting! Then someone will tell me about something that works for them...I'll ask a few questions about side effects and ...
