This is getting old
The sleepless nights, that is. At least once a week, I have trouble sleeping. Sometimes it happens 2-3 nights a week. I believe I know the cause (besides the guy snoring next to me). It’s perimenopause. I have many of the symptoms listed, but I’m thankful there are some that I haven’t experienced.
Another Cub Scout mom and I have had countless conversations about this; often we compare symptoms, and give each other an outlet for venting. Depending on which experts you listen to, it can last anywhere from 3 to 15 years. I’m hoping for 3.
When I have these sleepless nights, I usually come to the computer. I wander around the internet reading blogs, searching for free homeschool stuff, catching up on email. So if you see comments on your blogs left by me in the wee hours, now you know why.
It’s 1:40 AM. Guess I’ll give sleep another try now. Wish me luck.
Ugh … insomnia is miserable. I am moving into the perimenopause stage, too. I am DEFINITELY hoping for 3 years.
I was thrown into full blown menopause a few years ago. I get those sleepless nights also. They can be so frustrating. What I hate even worse though is the hot flashes…ugh! Hoping it is three for you!
Thanks for submitting to the evolution ring!
This post freaks me out. I haven’t been able to sleep in months….usually I’ll just lay there with my mp3 player and eventually I’ll bore myself to sleep…yikes!
Hey, at least you were at my place at a respectable hour and not in the middle of the night! Thanks for stopping by.
But on topic… I haven’t quite hit that yet, but I have a friend who is having the same sleep issues and she also attributes hers to hormones. I guess I will just look forward to having a “real” reason to be up and on the computer in the middle of the night! :O)
