Insomnia
Sleep denied while memory rots
Connected to a breathing machine
Unable to unplug from my thoughts
It’s like being hopped up on caffeine
Rest seems impossible to obtain
Since being diagnosed with apnea
Nothing will silence this active brain
Constantly interrupted by insomnia

Author's Note
Late night musing. My brain feels like mush, seems I can't get any amount of quality sleep.

Well I'm a night owl, Pete. But I used to at least be able to get some well needed sleep. Not so much anymore. Thanks for your kind words and continued support. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Shiloh. I'm honored to make your RL. Ever since I gave up the booze, and stopped practicing alcoholism on a daily basis, my sleep has been terrible. I've always been a night owl, then I found out I had sleep apnea. Wrestling with that damn breathing contraption is not so pleasant by any means. I'm glad I make you think with my posts, and right back at you. Your writes make me think. I know about the files, and bits of information reality. Appreciate you.

Insomnia is a bitch - 11 years and counting. Sorry you have to deal with it too, there's nothing more frustrating than being exhausted yet unable to sleep. Thank you for sharing!

Totally agree with you, Duende. It is a horrible feeling to want to sleep, and yet you can't. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. Appreciate you.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts I find myself at times when I can't shut my mind off from working over time when I know I should be asleep 🥱

That's very true, Sam. It just sucks when you get to tired to think, and want it to stop. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. Appreciate you.

I hate that for you, Damian! Hope you find relief soon. CBD gummies are known to help? C-pac machine?

I got a C-pac. I hate the mask part, it makes it hard to get comfortable. I use CBD as well. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Tams. Appreciate you.

Trazadone works well sometimes.
Need a prescription. Try 25mg first and if it doesn't work well go up to 50mg.
You can't take it everyday but it can be good. Take it 30 minutes before attempting sleep....
I suffer with sleep issues too..
