I finally went to my doctor last Feb. Since then I've had a sleep study and found the source of my lack of sleep. It's different for everyone, but I just wanted to chime in and if you haven't talked to your doctor about it, give it a try. Ask about a sleep study. I'm lucky, I've been sleeping better since I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea. You might not have apnea, but you could and won't know until you get it checked out. Maybe you already have had a sleep study, just encourging you to check it out if you haven't, it helped this middle aged insomniac finally get some sleep and feel better.Bill Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861625649988373471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11979512.post-1132524755091931532005-11-20T16:12:00.000-06:002005-11-20T16:12:00.000-06:00We have something in common.Besides Meridita.We have something in common.<BR/>Besides Meridita.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11979512.post-1132496878500045072005-11-20T08:27:00.000-06:002005-11-20T08:27:00.000-06:00P.S.

The Gazette published a sizeable rebuttal.<BR/><BR/>Before the holidays I hope to write a piece about what it was like to be raised by a life-long postman. It ruled, actually.

What is this...Slanderizer: "Been given the okay..." What is this, The Godfather?<BR/><BR/>Solving the world's problems: Cough cough... Maybe you have broader shoulders than I do, Leab. I used to play that role, but couldn't do it anymore. I'd have people (drunk or sober, didn't matter) rest their heads on my shoulder and tell me the horror that was their lives. And I'd pat them on the head and lend advice or simply listen and they left feeling wonderful.<BR/><BR/>And I added their problems to my own, and as you've witnessed in my writing it's really, really fucked me up.<BR/><BR/>I still listen, and with those closest to me I actually empathize. However, when people who think I care "open up" to me, I nod appreciatively and go through all the motions but don't allow a bit of it to get inside, or I'd go crazy.<BR/><BR/>The song that defines me: Girls just wanna have fun, but instead of "girls" substitute "Bald middle-aged guys who are really depressed and work shitty jobs..."Admin Wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515092855496484229noreply@blogger.com
