I'm not pleased with my failure to sleep last night
my insomnia hadn't been too bad except for isolated incidents for the last year or so, but the last week has been getting steadily worse. Last night was fucking shit.

You'll probably sleep well tonight
I rarely go 2 nights w/o sleep. Rarely.

considering I haven't slept well for the last week
I can't really be reassured by that.

As a fellow insomniac, I sympathise
didn't sleep a wink Sunday night. The only suggestions I have are go to bed and get up at the same time each day (even at weekends) and dont drink.

the going to bed at the same time thing is probably the issue
after being up late and getting up late over christmas I've probably fucked what little rhythm I had.

I don't drink much anyway, and don't have any caffeine.

get some book tapes read by someone with a really soporific voice
and a litre of tesco value vodka.

to be honest I doubt even that would work at the moment
over the past week getting really caned hasn't worked, not getting really caned hasn't worked and taking valerian hasn't worked, which are some of the best methods I've found for helping me sleep. Just need to wait until this bad patch goes away unfortunately.

Wouldn't be so bad if I were at home all the time, but being away makes it even more shit.

maybe do the swimming in the morning rather than after work
I find going running or whatever in the evening wakes me up too much when I should be drifting toward sleep.

there's no way I could bring myself to get out of bed early enough to do that
I've never dealt well with mornings, even before the insomnia.

I've been swimming immediately after work, so am finished by half 6 at the latest, so don't think that is the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion though
