Um, I've tried that. :loveyou:

Don't turn the light off and see what happens!
Eli Wallach has died at age 98
Well, it's 2:35 in the morning (Central Time) and I can't sleep. Don't know why because I'm not especially worried or anxious about anything.
Anyhoo, while lying in my bed wide awake and getting more and more frustrated at not being able to fall asleep (which only makes one more wide awake!), I decided to get up and log in to Websleuths to see if any other WSers are also awake.
But, no--sigh. I seem to be the only one here. Not even any lurkers to wave to. Oh well.
Anyway (or anyvay): HELLO to all my friends here on WS! I hope you are all fine and that life is treating you well.
Bless you all!
What do you do when you spring clean, YorN ? I'm looking for some inspiration.
Hi Nore!
Thanks for responding. I don't know what my sleep problem is, but it started about a year ago. I'll be reading in bed and, after about twenty to thirty minutes, literally dozing off--my usual routine for the last, oh, five decades or so. BUT! once I turn off my light I'm BOING wide awake. No more drowsiness. And so I lie wide awake in the darkness for a while and then turn on the light, read some more, get again drowsy, turn off the light and again BOING--wide awake! This pattern repeats itself three to four times each night. I don't know the cause of this. As I wrote in a previous post, I'm not worried about much of anything. Also, I'm healthy, have a good diet, get regular exercise, etc. I can only chalk it up to the aging process--I turned 56 two days ago--and so I assume this is what will be "normal" for the next few decades. Sigh! :seeya:
I'm talking to myself again. :floorlaugh:
Think I'll check out New Posts for a while.
TCM has a Eli Wallach tribute day this coming Monday @ 9:00 PM.
He was a great character actor. He will be missed.
RIP
Oh, there you are Becky. :seeya:
Good to see you here.
What have you been doing?
Hello Becky :dracula:
Do you happen to take naps during the day? Sometimes that might stop you from sleeping at night.
Sleep apnea?
Hi again YorN,
No, I don't take daytime naps, although I've a few friends who swear by them.
I don't take naps because the few times I have slept during the day the nap has always thrown me off, making me disoriented for a good while after.
:seeya:
No. At least I don't think so. I'm a light sleeper and the few times I have suffered from apnea or snoring was when I'd had one too many glasses of wine. The result was that my boozy snores always woke me up!
I lived for almost twenty-five years with a chronic snorer. :scared:
BBM So did I- so distressing, especially when he didn't believe that he snored. :floorlaugh:
I did a lot of shoving and poking his back to make him move to his side instead of his back. :floorlaugh:
I had some business to attend to in Cooperstown today. My son and I ate lunch/dinner at the Cooperstown Diner- a tiny little place, but it had such great food. I had something called The Giant Hamburger platter- with steak fries, onion rings, and a pickle. That hamburger was huge- I couldn't finish it and took a doggy bag home to eat later on.
It was such a good day, even tho' it was drizzly, but it started to pour after we stopped at the supermarket.
My son had previously ate at the diner when he had his hospice assignments and raved about this place. I'm glad we went.
The internet has been down almost from the start of this day because of the storms. Seems to be OK now, but I don't know for how long.
I guess it's ok to post this as it's OT, maybe not quite like your dog breed post :floorlaugh:, but all and the same it is the side bar and OT is rather standard and typical MO for the :jail:bird's defense. Do we all agree ? :wink:
Seriously, this actually isn't funny at all, but bizarre and tragic. I just happened to come across it on another thread and thought I would post it here for those who have the time and desire to read, as it is a little long. I have to say I can't even imagine being the dispatcher who was on the opposite end of that 911 call.
