Not sure if it is being in a new place, would think that would be gone now that Saturday is a full month.....or the whole unemployment thing, but I am averaging 3 hours of sleep a night and I got to say, it really sucks BAD!!
Just thought I would share.......move alnong now.

Huh? 
More opportunity to post, sir! "Open your mind, Quad, open your mind, open your mind.............." My mind is not working well with the lack of sleep! I was just so bored and so tired I sat here and for shits and grins re-keyed two deadbolts and 3 entry locks I had in my tool box.....WTF!! |

I'm just glad to see that bunny avatar... Do you want the standard "get some exercise" answer though. Sounds silly but works liek a charm... OR kills you, either way you're sleeping. Seriously though, Pick up some Valarian Root Capsules, and some Tylenol PM. Take two of each "valarian Smells of shit, so for warned" two of the Tylenol PMs and wash em' down with 1-2 oz of something smooth, I prefer Cardhu single malt in this application. Anyhoo, Valarian quiets the mind, (I'm unemployed right now as well, and it does serious fuck with ya) and the Tylenol relaxes the muscles... You'll sleep like you've got a tit in your mouth... Even if you're a classic tough guy though be careful with the unemployment funk. I was surprised when I realized I had completely stopped ridding the motorcycle, driving the fun car, and doing a bunch of other things I love to do. Hadn't ever really experienced plain old depression before, but getting 3 hours notice that your done at work and finding yourself on the bench messes with your head. |

Have tried over the counter shit, herbal shit, and even a nice stiff shot before bed......lie there for about an hour and get up again. Wife typer as worked on wearing me out.....though fun, same result. Every damn time I close my eyes my mind goes into overload.........what if I dont find a job quick (6 weeks has been my longest span and I am 2 weeks from that), what if something happens and we need to tap into our reserve.............what if...........BOOM............wide awake. Not trying to whine or anything.......just driving me batty!! (okay, battier then i normally am)

Well I would recommend the following: I personally take melatonin (I work graveyard) it works for me, if that doesn't work try to get an appt w/ your MD for a script of trazodone or ambien.
Also it is important to just focus on your breathing while laying there and not let any other thoughts creep in your head. Of note the diphenhydramine in Tylenol PM will not necessarily produce a restful sleep, the same can be said for taking a shot of EtOH before bed. Just my .02 |

Fugg-n-A, I hear you as I am still here pecking away for no good damn reason.
Might want to just say screw it, get a job delivering Pizza, or some other silly shit, just to get you out and moving and working. Keep you busy earn a few bucks, till you find what you need. I'm extremely lucky in that the wife has been making way more than me for the last 10 years or so and while me being between jobs hurts, it's NOT TEOTW. Just kinda scary tight. Wish I had some better, useful advice or some sorta wisdom but I haven't figured out much. |

Oh and one more thing.
Just for he recently or not so recently laid off/fired/unemployed. Odd Todd Good stuff, might provide a chuckle. |
Had trouble sleeping last night too. Was pissed about someone hacking my network.

It's prolly your neighbor... if there is a college kid or someone below the age of 16 it is prolly them... so go beat them up... and if it's not them let them serve as examples

Confidence and believing in yourself helps. You're a hard-working guy, hopefully someone will recognize that soon. |
