I used to could count on it happening every six months, where I'd go through a period of a couple of weeks almost completely sleepless. It is not with such clockwork regularity anymore, but it still visits me often. I have no remedy. I just make the best use of the extra time that I can, whether reading, watching movies I'd like to catch up on, writing, or whatever. Get lots of projects done this way.

I told myself to get up and get something done, but I haven't had the energy yet. spring cleaning all night, wow, I may have to try it! mine is probably more along the lines of what Beth says rather than coffee as I don’t drink it!

I hardly slept at all last night mostly because of a big delicious cup of coffee I had right before bed time. That usually doesn't bother me, but last night it did, and the remedy that works best for me, which is going out for a long walk in the night, wasn't a good option last night in the rain.

It was maddening and made it hard to function well the next day, but I just couldn't seem to find a solution. I did some reading and I believe that the insomnia was hormone-related (man, it's fun to be a forty-something woman!) and like many of the other symptoms that plagued me so much a year or two ago, the sleeplessness has improved a great deal. I remember when I was a kid, my mom went through a stretch of time when she seemed to be up half the night. I'd wake up in the morning to find that she'd spent the overnight hours doing spring-cleaning type deep cleaning while the rest of the household slept. She had always kept a tidy house, but during those years, the place was REALLY clean! :O) I slept really well until a few years ago, when suddenly, I’d wake very early and be unable to fall back to sleep.
