Night night

In the early hours of the morning, last Friday, something really really bad happened in my neighborhood. So, since last Friday, tragedy has affected practically everyone, including myself. I have had a hard time getting to sleep...I usually turn in for the night around 9:00-9:30pm, but since last week, I can't seem to sleep, worried over my own safety.... like, last night, I couldn't fall asleep until way after 1:00am.

I hope it's different tonight, that I can fall asleep and catch up somehow, at least feel more rested in the morning.

I seem to be plagued by insomnia lately or at least not enough sleep. I am not sure why but I am looking into my day to day stuff to see what the cause might be.

I don't know why this thread petered out, except everyone must be getting excellent sleep these day.

Everyone except me! I went to bed 4 hours ago and I can't find a single comfortable position. My back hurts and my knees hurt, and there's no position that is comfortable to all 3. I took 800 mg. of ibuprofen, and my knees are better but it hasn't touched my back pain. I tried the heating pad, no luck. I took an extra half of a sleeping pill, hoping it would just knock me out, but no cigar.

Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!

I came home from an evening out with friends around 11 pm. I dropped into the bed without even undressing and slept the sleep of the dead for about 15 minutes. Then the boy came home from work and woke me up, so I got up and undressed and did my evening routine. I haven't been able to go back to sleep ever since.

My knees and legs ache from walking what seemed like a mile in a hotel lobby on tile floors. I took some ibuprofen, which I am not supposed to take, because my legs were screaming at me. Finally, about half an hour ago I took some extra Gabapentin for the nerve pain in my legs and feet. These days I never get totally comfortable, but I usually can get to where I can ignore whatever's going on and fall asleep.

I hope the Gabapentin will do the trick. I'd really like to get to sleep before the sun comes up, and it's close to 5 a.m. now.
