Lots of long nights here too lately. Not because of MY insomnia, but my kids'!!! Grace is getting in 3 teeth and we all have a chest cold. yuck.
Teething. I hated that. Freezer teething rings and baby aspirin and vicks!!!
I should add here, if you got a bad couph, rub some vicks on the heal of your foot.

why on your foot???
I discovered a few kids back Hyland's Teething Tablets. it's a homeopathic remedy that works wonders. It's one of my 'mommy must have's '.

Believe it or not it will slow/stop the cough.
Slap some on your heel, rub it around, cover with a paper towel, and then put a sock on.
I don't know if I'd do this on a newborn. For older infants, I'd make sure they don't have an allergic reaction to Vicks. If you do use less and make sure they can't get their fingers in it!!!

Apt thread for my current condition. It seems like I sleep every other night lately!
Last night I slept well so I guess tonight's my night to be up all night!! So if anyone wants to chat I'm around

Sorry to hear about the every other night. I went through that but it was two/three nights up and then I died for 10 to 12.
I just got back from my daughter's and the last three nights there I didn't get much sleep so last night I crawled into my gorgeous comfy own bed and didn't turn over for 8 hours. I don't do that often but when I do I soooo love it.

I think it's side effects of med I'm taking. We'll see, I have a Dr.'s appt Tuesday, because I can't stand feeling awake all night and fatigued all day. It doesn't help me in regards to my other situation as well and I really need to get that under control again.
went to bed around midnight last night... Grace woke up at 1 am. She Didn't go back to sleep until 6am. By 7am, 3 of the 5 kids were up and fighting. I've got nothing nice to say.
Oh Nighthawk I'm so terribly sorry. I do hope you get to sneak in a nap somewhere!!!
And I am very sure you have nothing nice to say. But I bet off and on during the day a few
words come to mind.

Yesterday was unplesant. then I couldn't sleep much last night either. Hopefully after a belly full of turkey, I can turn it around and sleep! UGH!
Have some more tonight a bit before you go to sleep---you know what they say about turkey!!!
What brand of Melatonin are you all taking? For the past month I have been taking the brand Natrol and they come in 5 mg supposedly fast dissolve. I started out taking 2 and letting them dissolve on my tongue (strawberry flavor) and I lay down about 20 minutes later...hours pass and I am still awake. I up the dosage to about 4 and I still stay awake, normally after 4 hours it knocks me out. I have tried natural sleeping pills, generic walgreen brand, unisom, etc. They all work for about 2 days then stop working (scared to up the dosage). I'm off my schedule so that means my 3 year old now won't sleep either.
Got it at Walmart 3mg. I started out taking two and got up to 4 before I hit the magic number.
If I take five, it will keep me awake.

Lol I did get it at walmart. It said take one and I KNEW that wasn't gonna work and days later I stopped taking them when I reached 6 (I know, I know bad) and I had a hangover state but STILL couldn't sleep. My boyfriend suggested I find out how to get into a sleep study because the past few months, I have been eating in my sleep. I have some weird stories from when I was a child my mother used to tell me from sleep walking to hearing me sitting up in the bed talking but my eyes were closed and I was asleep. I have NEVER been able to sleep well. In middle school I still remember my mother saying " I don't care what time you go to sleep as long as you get up for school".
yeah, sounds like you do need a sleep study. Sleep walking or activity as an adult is unusual and needs the dr's help! hang in there!!
