Just living in general. NO bad dreams, but plenty of worries.

Mental chatter keeps me up most. The same happens in the day, but then I call it day dreaming. I've had insomnia for half my life, and been on various meds to solve the problem. Most had side effects that became unacceptable. I've been practicing a type of meditation to quiet my mind for almost two years now, I am content with that.
I really like being drug free. HAHA-"Say 'NO' to crack."
My mental chatter was in part caused by emotional issues-cognitive dissonance?-and stress. If your insomnia sets in for extended periods of time, monthes or years, you may develop psycho-somatic disorders. Most medications do not directly fix those problems; only relieve symtoms, and not 100%. IMHO, due to my personal experience and observing family members, addressing whatever mental issues you may have is a more viable solution.
Sweet dreams.

I just am a night owl a lot.. and if I go to bed before 11:00 I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. No idea why..
As far as dreams.. last night I had a nightmare about the elders forcing me to remarry the man I am divorcing (and the original reason why I left off being a JW). It upset me this morning to wake up and have the two areas invading my thoughts when I can't control them.. the elders and their control.. and the man I detest.. I am pretty sure it is because I talked to my manager yesterday and she told me the man still calls here checking to see if I am here.. I feel harassed by him. Can't wait to move and have neither the elders or the a#$ er I mean jerk know where I am.

I guess I'm just a night person. Let's see, TV, video games, internet, eating too much sugar, that kind of stuff.

ummm .. sometimes thoughts keep me up.. but that doesn't happen often at all. it kinda happened once..about a year ago. it was like the most horrible night in my life.. first time i don't sleep because i'm thinking about something.. usually i just hope for the best and sleep but not that night. once i had a nightmare and couldn't go back to sleep.. i just curled up in my chair in front of the pc hoping to find someone online to help me calm down .. no one came though.
