Well the sleep drought continues!

And I'm getting angrier with it by the day lol! today I'm like a bear with a sore head!! I hope no ones bugs me up or crosses me today as they're likely to lose their head in the last 7 nights I've had approx 28 hrs sleep. Oh and whist this is happening my body despises to give me a mouth full of cold sores today!!! I've just rang my mum to say if I bite your head off today I'm sorry in advance

it must to terrible xx

  at least mum knows x

Have you tried sleeping pills yet? If it goes on much longer I would see a doctor and maybe get a prescription to help.

No J I haven't xx

Sometimes the pills will help get you back on track. I use them when I switch from day to night shift or jump around time zones.

Aww honey, I really feel for you, its awful   I haven't tried it but melatonin is supposed to be a good natural sleep aid xx

Melatonin is excellent. They've just changed it over here that you need a script which is ridiculous. Used to get it over the counter all the time and they were good to have in for jet lag or general lack of sleep. Hope you feel better soon   

Oh Hayley how about valerian? It's natural and really helped me! Not sure if it would interfere with any pain meds though, you'd have to ask your gp xx

I really feel for you, I'm terrible if I don't get a full night's sleep let alone a week!! I hope it doesn't go on too much longer. Have you tried having a hot bath before bed? That usually works for me

Awww Hayley   The cold sores are probably a result of the lack of sleep and you are run down. I would agree and see if the doctor can prescribe something to help you sleep, the valerian sounds like a good healthy option (this is what Rocky used to have when we first got him to help him calm down at bedtime, I know it works).

Definitely going to see about herbal remedies thanks guys it means a lot

Hope you get it sorted Hayley. Is this something you have suffered with before?
The trouble is the more you get worked up about it the harder it is to relax. Hope you get some much needed rest tonight   

Aww hun that's awful try some of those natural remedies xxx
