These dreams are the kind that haunt you way after and you don't want to sleep again for fear of having them... they reach deep into your soul and lodge themselves there... they're the kind that make you cringe whenever anything reminds you of them...

Nothing I've done seems to help, and i've ended up getting to sleep REALLy late (or early however you look at it)... I don't know what to do.. i think its starting to affect me in reality... my moods tend to be VERY tempramental (cant spell, too tired) its like they're going up and down with every minute ticking by.. and sometimes its just nothing but blank...

That's why I'm awake now... fear of my subconscious...

STOP EATING CHEESE!! YOU WILL NOTICE THAT WHENEVER YOU EAT CHEESE IT GIVES YOU WERD DREAMS OR NIGHTMARES!! YOUR BODY MAY BECOME A BIT EUPHORIC WHEN YOUR PROCESSING IT WHEN YOUR SLEEPING. I DONT KNOW BUT ITS CHEESE THAT DOES IT! IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME TRY IT EAT A SMALL BLOCK OF CHEESE BEFORE BED!

All of the above are helpful suggestions, take from each and trail and see what works. Stress is a big factor in not sleeping, so make sure you check that out.

Failing that, heres a picture that was sent to me by a friend when I was having a really bad day. At the time it wasnt funny, now I chuckle everytime I see it.

LOL...go chopper...there is also a video going with that pic...very funny!

and sorry to hear about the fact that you HAVE to use pills. I bet if you could do without, you would.

Flip me a PM if you're ever headed down this way. Are you down here regularly... do you have any reason to be down here? Could be waiting a while otherwise!

Err, anyway, back on topic. Yes, um, nightmares. Hell of a problem, that. Lack of sleep too. Um, yes, very bad... Fuck it, run!! *Deviant shaped cloud*

Yeah, I'll be downthere fairly soon...sales trip (yuk!)...Oh, don't worry, I'll PM you, this discussion is NOT over...

Oh, and btw...for that bruising of yours, you may want to try Arnica...I know it's homeopathy, but eh, just humour me for a minute and you might be surprised!!
*funnily enough...it's plant based, just like every other homeopathic remedies*

Ok I'll shut the F&&k up now....Love you all!

I only went onto sleeping tabs because after 3 months of only 2 to 3 hours sleep a night, you start feeling really run down. Staying awake for 5 days in a row has nothing on how drained you feel.

I've come off them now and only use them to try get my body back into a pattern of bed at 11 to 1am and up at 5.

Jeepers, I bet you'd feel run down! To me, sleep deprivation would be one of the worst things to go through...I had a bit of that when my son was born and was breastfeeding every 2 hours right through til he was 8 months of age...as the ex was never around to help and I had no family to fall back onto, sleep deprivation and post natal depression got the best of me...

Great news thta you are now able to use them just to regulate your body clock.

Don't disagree with your first statement...... ehe... but it's long been believed by a good many people that cheese does cause those effects. Fairly recently addressed and subsequently disproven, but it's a grey area. One of the ingrediants that's used to make cheese, once broken down in digestion, has opiate in it, which can cause funny side effects in some people.

Wikipedia's take:

A study by the British Cheese Board in 2005 to determine the effect of cheese upon sleep and dreaming discovered that, contrary to the idea that cheese commonly causes nightmares, the effect of cheese upon sleep was positive. The majority of the two hundred people tested over a fortnight claimed beneficial results from consuming cheeses before going to bed, the cheese promoting good sleep. Six cheeses were tested and the findings were that the dreams produced were specific to the type of cheese. None was found to induce nightmares. However, the six cheeses were all British. The results might be entirely different if a wider range of cheeses were tested.
