Edith...I've always said you had a way with words....and
you did it again....
"PC NIGHTLIFE"...I love it....anyway it's nice to know
that all you "nightowls" are out there and awake when I am....what I'd like to
know is how many of you do get on the computer in the middle of the night and if
you think that you stay awake longer than you would if you
had not turned on the computer..... I think that's what happening to
me......Joan Hartman

Welcome to my world, Deborah! It's called PC Night
Life!
I'm always exhausted when I turn in; more exhausted when I
awaken. Only
pain killer allowed is Advil, and like Mirapex and Sinemet, it zonks me.
The
pain got so bad yesterday, I sat in my chair for awhile. When I
awoke, I
had been in the chair for 3 1/2 hours!
Even exercising doesn't work. No matter how long I exercise or
how many
times I exercise, I'm at ground zero the next morning! I swear,
one of
these days they're going to find me turned into solid
rock!

Debra,
Can I relate! I didn't marry an insomniac and
my husband wakes up if I
get out of bed. What happens to me is that I hurt so bad I
have to go to
bed and lye down. Then I wake during the night hurting so
bad I have to
get
up.
Mornings are the best for me... though I would like the
definition of
morning to change to say... 6 AM instead of 2, 2:30, 3:00
AM. Heck, for
that matter I would even go for 5 AM.
I must give credit to the DBS though, I now get
average 5.5 hours of
sleep a night instead of the 4 that I got prior to the surgery.
I have found the different instant message
programs to be the best
outlet.... there are many other PWP's up in the middle of the
night...
everywhere. I even have a friend in Australia who is a
caregiver who
tells
me to go back to bed... she tells my husband she is the cyber sleep
police
keeping an eye on all of us insomniac PWP's in America.
I guess the way I have best dealt with the
sleep issue is that I
realize
when my body is tired enough it will sleep.... it does pretty
much
whatever
it wants to, whenever it wants to anyway... LOL... I don't
worry about it
anymore. My husband is doing better when it comes to my up
time.. I
believe
he has worked his way up to being able to sleep about an hour after I
get
out of bed. I have made a compromise... I try to stay in
bed for 30-60
min.
after I am awake and he is up to an hour so that means he can get up
to 2
hours more sleep than me a night. Now can anyone help me
convince him of
this arguement? LOL again!
Sorry about this posting twice, the computer fired the first one off
all
by
it's lonesome mid sentence.
Deborah
