I could ditto your note...sitting here letting my eyes close for little bits feels so good, as do the naps. Then I asked my doc (2 months ago) if I could have a sleep test, and he said "sure"...he has had a huge increase in people taking these tests. Sooo...I took the test - stayed overnight in the hospital all wired up...was really very interesting! and discovered I have severe obstructive sleep apnea!! I never would have guessed it! Two weeks ago I got the CPAP machine and am trying to get used to using it...but find that the last 5 mornings it has been neatly put away on the table sometime during the night...LOL I have no idea when I do that! However, last night I couldn't use it and woke up this morning despirate...could really tell the difference between using it and not using it. I am definitely feeling better with more energy during the day. My line counts are up now 200 a day over previous (and I need to do more). The nurse said I will notice a big difference once I've paid back my body its sleep deprivation - which was an interesting idea. Anyway, I hope you go to your doc and find your way. :^)

Why am I falling asleep all the time?
I get 7-8 hours a night but during the day, at least for a month now, I've been falling asleep while working! They are really short "naps" maybe a few seconds or more, but this is driving me up a wall, not to mention my paychecks are suffering since I have to back track and relisten to everything I supposedly typed.
I've had this problem for years but it usually only lasts a week or two, and then I'm back to normal. This year, I can count on my fingers the days I didn't have this happen. Some days, I will take a quick cat-nap and before I know it, 2 hours has fallen by the wayside.
BTW, I just started to take vitamins a couple months ago. Could I be" _$$ backwards" and the vitamins cause this problem?
Thanks for your answers.
I fell asleep at the end, but
I believe the ones below the yellow line were Brittany and Jenn, and that we won't find out until the next show which one was eliminated.
The girls sure are stressed out by having 2 people return, and one of them not Bernie. It's a shame he was just 2 pounds short of having the highest percent weight loss of the previously eliminated players. It would have been nice to have him back.
Jillian certainly did have some weird outbursts. I don't think it agrees with her to not have the big burly guys on her team.
There is too much to watch on Tuesday nights!
For the 8 year old, 8:30 (should be asleep
nm
I did not see the show. Fell asleep
but heard on the news that she was throwing a hissy fit back stage and now I just looked at the video on Youtube and pretty funny.
Fell asleep last night on CSI NY - (sm)
The one where 19year old girl in the hospital after a wreck was murdered. Fell asleep before I could find out who suffocated her. Anyone?
I have been but fell asleep last night.
Who got "desashed". I don't know why I enjoy it...but I do think it is real. I watch more reality TV than anything. I know, I need to get a life!
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
Heck no, I am not worried about a huge major disaster. Why worry. Does no good and just makes one age faster. I believe things are going to get better. My situation is not dire and if it got to where my husband and I either one lost a job, then I might would cut back some.
falling out of your trailer
this is ridiculous advice.
Between that and her extensions falling off? Yikes is right! LOL

Falling on deaf ears........and
I also urge them to contact their senators and congressman, but I am sad to say too often these things fall on deaf ears. I am forever amazed at how people in this country think if something is imposed by their government, it must be okay! They don't really question why MORE laws, what do we need it for, who is it really benefitting. They just say, "Oh well, what's it hurting. If you're not doing anything wrong you shouldn't care that you are being stripped of your freedoms". Putting more restrictions on US citizens does what for us? Does anyone ever ask what the purpose is for? If they actually think this has anything to do with locating illegals, they are really gullable. The government knows where illegals are....they're in sanctuary cities, heck, they're in my city. Do you see them rounding them up and deporting them? They're marching down our streets holding the Mexican flag.....get a clue...it has NOTHING to do with protecting us. The borders are wide open to illegals, north and south. Instead of taking our freedoms from us, crack down on businesses hiring illegals, quit giving them welfare assistance, free education, free healthcare, free, free, free for ILLEGALS, and guess what?.....no jobs, no healthcare, no freebies, they will go back home. Their home. Does anyone actually ask why we are creating this new law? It's as if they don't really want to know, don't want to be bothered with reading and studying the bill, don't want to question why this is even necessary. If our government says to, then of course it must be good for us because, after all, we are too dumb a people to think for ourselves, at least that's what the federal government hopes, that you'll all sit on your complacent behinds and do nothing......until the deed is done.
We got snow!!!!!! Yipeee!!! Its falling in big, big
My little kitty is outside chasing the snowflakes and hopping in it like a rabbit. How I am supposed to work with this fun stuff going on outside?
Thank you God for nature's beauty and the critters we love.
i can't believe you are falling for someone's story that probably isn't true
Really, who, in the situation this Philly girl describes herself to be in would REALLY talk about it the way she does? Either this is a very lonely financially strapped person who is living a "make believe" life for the sake of those on this board, or she is insane. I don't know of anyone who has their life together in the fashion described that would be tooting their horn like that on this board. You know,"if it is on the internet, then it just has to be true" NOT. People like that make up situations and cause chaos and friction in order to get the responses that she has been getting. That is the payoff. The responses. This person is not who she says she is, so we can all just feel sorry for this person with the "make believe life" who acts totally opposite to the position she states she is in. Her behavior is more telling than her words.
I meant to type that for scars which we got a lot of from running around and falling down..the
lemon juice really works very well for fading scars. I will admit that there are some things on the market today that are really good; but from a personal (and financial) standpoint, what I learned from my grandmother does work very well for me. All you ladies have a good weekend...
My favorite time of night is when kids and hubby are asleep and the house is quiet...
Usmoms need some quiet time too...don't feel bad for feeling that way...I am sure we have all imagined what it would be like not having kids or a husband...but then that thought goes away and someone yells "Mommy" or "Honey"...LOL...
I watched a show called The Falling Man last night on Discovery, SM
a show about one of the people who jumped from the World Trade Center. Very moving.
my kids high school has rats falling from ceiling
For the record, Howard County Maryland was just ranked #1 in per capita income IN THE COUNTRY, yet my kids high school had 6 rats fall through the cafeteria ceiling Wednesday. Last year it was rats and sewage - three separate instances where sewage came up through the emergency shower, dripped from the hall ceilings, and came through the child life development pipes. Oh, sure that was fixed. And how in the world did the health department okay this? I tell ya, we sure do NOT put our money where our mouth is on this education battle. Our team mascot should NOT be Ben the rat!! Just so angry over it all.
If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
