    I would do a sleep study, but I'm so particular about the way I sleep...I literally burrow under blankets and pillows, that wouldn't allow those electrodes to stay attached.

    Maybe they are really stuck on and impervious to burrowing?
    Bahaha! Can you imagine what I would look like when I woke up? I would be a tangled mess...
    Some people are into that. =)

    2:45 am here.... not bad for a Friday I guess? :weary:
    Hahaha! Please, just not in that 50 shades of gray kind of way!

    I do hope you find some sort of relief or answers from your appointment though!

    I am having to keep a stupid sleep diary as a precursor to that sleep clinic thing. What a pain in the ass. I am finding it near impossible to do.

    Been not sleeping for shit, because I've been sick...have this horrific virus that is a sore throat, cough, fever, snotty nose, itchy eyes and sweats...and the Dr wouldn't give me anything for it...because I tested negative for strep, so I must not need any meds...she was an idiot, thank God she's not my regular Dr...it was urgent care...I am feeling a lot better today, still tired as hell, and a bit light headed at the moment...but much improved from the last couple of days.

    So I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow (too much excitement today, considering I'm still sick) around 11 pm and I woke up at 1am as if it were morning. Can't get back to sleep. :anguished:

    Does it count as insomnia if you are kept up because your sick dog is up pacing around all night, her toe nails making little "click click click" noises??

    I fell asleep around 10pm...then got woken up by my dog at 2am....now I can't get back to sleep. My dog on the other hand, is sleeping soundly.

    I think insomnia is defined as an ongoing medical or psychological condition and not just something external keeping you awake. ;)
    Can you clip her nails to stop the clicking?

    Even with short nails she clicks. I think we'd have to remove them, or possibly consider slippers :wink:

    Or carpet.

    My antibiotics are wreaking havoc. Usually my problem is falling asleep. Since I've been on these I can't fall asleep but if I do I can only sleep 3 hours max before waking up. I'm a mess.

    I'm trying to watch something boring on TV to fall asleep...why is it that as soon as I start to doze off, the stupid Emergency Alert System test buzzer has to come on? "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM" EEEEENNNNNTTTTT....EEEEENNNNNTTTTTT......EEEEENNNNTTTTT
    "THIS HAS BEEN A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM, HAD THIS BEEN A REAL ENERGENCY THE PRECEEDING TONES WOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY EMERGENCY INFORMATION"

    I never see that thing go off during the day...wouldn't you want more people to know what the tones sound like? Wouldn't it be better to test during the day?

    Slippers were my next suggestion! They do exist for dogs, or just rig cloth bags with a drawstring you can tie around her ankles. :)

    I could probably sleep, but there is a loud, consistent sound that is what quite possibly could be what an angrry bear juggling 5 chainsaws would sound like.

    I don't even know if that makes sense...so tired, sound is so annoying, can't concentrate....

    Is the sound coming from Mr. RK, or a pet?

    Personally, I would love to see an angry bear juggle 5 chainsaws.
