I go to sleep for several hours, wake up, stay up for several hours, go back to sleep exhausted, etc. Sometimes I wake up and don't know if it's am or pm. <BR/><BR/>Dale Carnegie--a classic. I adore self-help books. They really inspire me. <BR/><BR/>My b/f needs a "suffer sock" to sleep during the day, esp if he's hung over (it's just a little black sock he covers his eyes with). I can sleep anytime, anywhere--and be out like a light in two seconds. What's really weird is if I'm on the subway and I drift in and out of consciousness. A very bizarre twilight state of strange dream thoughts. <BR/><BR/>Not to keep bringing up my b/f, but he tends not to watch the news either because it depresses him. I used to shelter myself a lot more and just concentrate on arts and lit and all that timeless transcendent stuff, but in recent years I've started to get much more aware of these things. Part of it is the fascination I've always had with human behavior and society, and though i didn't realize it back then, politics and economics are really social sciences just like psychology and sociology. <BR/><BR/>It kind of bothers me too that they're forcing people out--too much like police state tactics. Some of these folks seem to be doing ok--some have their homes intact. <BR/><BR/>Writing is definitely excellent therapy for me too. I think being online and interacting with others and sharing problems and ideas is better than any traditional "therapy" I've had--and much cheaper too!<BR/><BR/>As far as insomnia--well, you read some great books, thought about some burning issues, and wrote a great post for everyone to read. Like I always say, there's usually something good to be gleaned from a bad situation. I sometimes do my best writing in the wee hours. Looks like the same goes for you!elvira blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807259749719715614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10869745.post-1126122732221327752005-09-07T14:52:00.000-05:002005-09-07T14:52:00.000-05:00Tabor:I was on a steady regimen of power walking f...Tabor:<BR/><BR/>I was on a steady regimen of power walking for a while, but I have not been so rigorous with it,as of late. This tells me that I need to get the ball rolling and start again - no matter how I feel. It's easy to do it when I feel good, and not when I don't feel good.

Have you started some type of aerobics activity...running, basketball,whatever. I think that helps sweat out toxins and excess hormones which prevent solid sleep.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
