My thoughts exactly. One thing I do regularly is keep a portable CD player in my bed and I listen to audio books or music when I can't sleep. Some of the folks who read the recorded books can put you to sleep with no problem. After Zoe died last week I did turn to a low dose of sleeping pill. I had mentioned that I was home form work with neck and back pain so I needed a very low dose of pain medication during the day. I did not sleep one night until 3am despite the medication but a nonaddictive low dose med may help you get back on track with sleep. Please let your doctor know the problem you are having and hopefully the doc is someone who understands grief.
I am so sorry for the pain you are having. It sounds as if you are alone and don't have any other pets. I can't find your original post to understand exactly what your situation is but I do thank you for posting the Auden poem. Joanne |

Well here goes... I exercised twice as much as I normally do- so if I don't sleep tonight I'll be off to the doctors. I've been ok because I've had a bad night followed by an OK one, if I end up with 2 bad in a row I won't be very functional.
I haven't really managed to get my story on paper yet- when I do I'll post here. I'm afraid I haven't really been able to make it into bed much- it just seems to be the place that is worst for me. Thank-you so much for all your advice. I've kept the TV on mostly- although I think I'll be moving my cd player into the bedroom so I can listen to CDs in there. It's been 18 days now- and I just need a couple of nights of proper sleep in a row. Hopefully the exercise will do the trick. Thanks again everyone, Amber PS- I got in touch with a photo retouching place today- I'm going to send all the photos I have to him and see if he can find something decent among them. The photos are pretty bad as the cat was always too close to the camera- as soon as I was still enough to be mooched upon, well he'd come towards me to snuggle up. So I have a lot of out of focus close-ups

Hi Amber I look forward to seeing your photos. I hope the extra exercise helps you to sleep okay.
Take care Peter -------------------- |
