Because no one should be up at that hour! I do the whole relaxing technique where you imagine your body faling asleep, starting at your toes, slowly going all the way up. I learned it the time I was hypnotized. Can't wait to hear how the wedding went! <em>Kristabella's last blog post..<a href='http://fullofsnark.com/2008/06/18/and-i-dont-think/' rel="nofollow">And I Don't Think I Said Fuck Once</a></em> I force myself to go back to bed.

Can’t wait to hear how the wedding went!

The good news is that I also sometimes wake up at that hour so we can both be exhausted by 3 PM together. Should be fun! <em>Heather B.'s last blog post..<a href='http://nopasanada.org/2008/06/19/more-for-their-benefit-than-mine/' rel="nofollow">More for their benefit than mine</a></em> Well the bad thing about waking up at the ass crack of dawn is that it’s early and um… it’s EARLY.

Sometimes I wonder how many days I would sleep if the alarm didn't go off! Sounds like Miss Emily is understanding the trick to having brothers - You can't stand back and watch, you have to join in! Good luck with your wedding shoot tomorrow! I'll say a prayer for you and for some decent weather! I'm sure you'll do great!

It seems to have gotten better since I've gotten married. But periodically, I deal with it. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution that works that doesn't cause me to feel like crap the next day.

It works. I use it when I am away because I can never fall asleep without my main squeeze beside me and my kids sleeping down the hall. :-) Hope the weddding shoot goes well tomorrow! <em>Kami's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/The4OfUs/~3/315873821/astronomic-proportions.html' rel="nofollow">Astronomic Proportions</a></em> I noticed someone said Gravol above.

I thought of one more thing that I haven't tried, but have been promised it works: when you wake up, get immediately out of bed and stand next to the fridge. When your body's tired enough go back to bed. If you don't fall back asleep, get up again and stand next to the fridge. No blankets, no lights, no food, just stand there. I forget the theory behind why it works, but it's all psychological-like! ;) <em>Victoria's last blog post..<a href='http://advicefromasinglegirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/if-you-dont-choose-you-wont-save-planet.html' rel="nofollow">If You Don't Choose You Won't Save the Planet!*</a></em> Oh, wait!

One (mine!) is difficulty falling asleep, the other (yours?) is waking up once asleep and being unable to get back to sleep. I've tried a few things and have to completely, utterly, 100% recommend acupuncture. I would never have tried it, but my last boyfriend had a degree (diploma?) in acupuncture and convinced me to try it. And boy am I glad I did! He did warn me that it would take a few sessions (unlike when I hurt my back and she popped in a few needles and it was perfect the next hour. seriously) and I'm lucky that I had several sessions covered by my medical insurance. In the long run, however, it's TOTALLY worth me paying for it out of my pocket for the sanity I now have being able to sleep. There, that's my long winded answer :) Hope you find something that works as well for you! <em>Victoria's last blog post..<a href='http://advicefromasinglegirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/if-you-dont-choose-you-wont-save-planet.html' rel="nofollow">If You Don't Choose You Won't Save the Planet!*</a></em> I’ve heard (wherever it is one hears these things) that there are two basic types of insomnia.
