Night Owls Unite! *hoot*

[Born to Run]

Guided meditation, guided body scan, Reiki self healing hand positions are very calming and balancing, Tibetan Chakra meditations with only sounds for each chakra. Dead Link Removed. This CD always knocks me out. I learned the Reiki stuff during a Reiki level 1 course, but I think you don't need a course for it. http://reikirays.com/1743/reiki-hand-positions-with-downloadable-pdf-chart/

This video was shared yesterday by Muse on another thread and made me very calm :sleep::sleep::sleep:

Oh my gosh thank you for posting the vid and the link @Born to Run! Reiki is something i'm going to look into more in depth! :hug:

Guilty. And apparently this has been the case since I was a baby (I had climbed out of my crib and eventually fell asleep behind a curtain, on the floor - must have been looking at what little traffic there was at wee hours...parents freaked out in the morning because it took a long time to find me)...Now, it depends what state I'm in - sometimes it's a rush of memories etc that keeps me up; or something I am reading or researching; sometimes I just find a film or whatever; or read; most often though, even if I try to sleep my mind is racing...I end up literally pacing around the bedroom in the dark, talking to myself, until I drop into bed exhausted...

Move up on the perch folks, another owl coming in to land!

I tend to read until the wee small hours as I live in a flat so can't do anything too noisy. Never liked mornings much and I can be sleepy (although awake) throughout most of the day, but seem to come alive at night.

I've never been good at sleeping, at this point I kind of doubt that I will be. Night terrors, nightmares, and insomnia throughout childhood have really not improved. I think I'll try coming back to this thread on one of those sleepless nights and see if there are any other Night Owl's on. *hoot* :hug:

I recline in my chair under my soft blanket and watch Netflix and end up falling asleep in the chair.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(It's not tooooo late here now (23:43) but I can already feel that tonight is going to be one of Those Nights. I hate it, and I hate the day after it, as I struggle to even stay awake at work, & have had to slip out to the bathroom and passed out more than once. I wish I could feel at peace with the wakefulness but it just drives me bonkers. I get frustrated, tearful, angry, despairing...sometimes meditation helps, but then sometimes my thoughts are racing so fast I can't even do that. I know that a bad night tonight will mean a bad day tomorrow and that I can't take the day off if I feel utterly wretched, because I've already had too many sick days over the last couple of years and I can't afford it. I wish I had the ability to embrace it and make the most of it like some of you guys! But I love my sleep, and miss it so very terribly if I don't get it :(

Anyone still around? 4.40 here and wide awake.

20:14 here now. Usually sleep about 3-4 hours a night. Usually until the screaming wakes the wife or pups. Then I play Destiny or read my Warhammer books until I go to work.

Well, at 3:00am after sleeping a grand total of 10 freaking minutes I decide F*ck it. I'm just going to accept being a night owl, and stop fighting it. Welcome to the group @SGT Crim1 :).
