I hate coffee!!!
But I need it … and this alone is making me cranky!!!
Ok, I haven’t been sleeping well the past few days and it is driving me nuts. It is as if I am having a jet lag without even leaving home. I lie down in my bed hoping to fall asleep but it seems that there’s an inner desire to stay awake which is too weird.
I remember the good old days when I used to be out like a light in that matter of a couple of minute; all I had to do was to put my head on the pillow and just let myself go. Now I am not able to do that without thinking of a million things.
So when my alarm starts screaming in the morning; I try to shut it up by pressing snooze; but how can I do that to my brain that never stops functioning? I get up and come to work still half asleep; my body is really sleep deprived and maybe it is time to give it the rest it needs.
A woman should sleep for 9-10 hours per day; I am not getting even half of that and it is killing me. I just had a cup of coffee that is hurting my stomache as we speak and it was not even good 
Hoping to sleep tonight or you will be seeing more of these rants on this blog

I’ve become so addicted to coffee that it doesn’t affect me, I mean no matter how much coffee i drink it doens’t make me more alert or anything, i just drink it alot becuase i need it in my system
Actualy i think by now, I have coffee cells in my body instead of blood cells

In his poem (The Rape of the Lock), Alexander Alan Pope said:
Coffee (which makes the politician wise,
And see through all things with his half-shut eyes)
I can add that
Life without coffee is… lifeless… tasteless… and meaningless…).

I have these night every now and then, where my mind is racing back and forth not alowing me to sleep. I am “glad” to see that I am not alone (not crazy). I am 33 and have noticed that with age, my body tollerates things differetly. I live in the US, and had a phase where I slept like a baby when my parents visited for a month. Now, a month later, I am having the sleepless night again. I plan to quit/limit cofee (1 cup a day max) and be less demanding onmyself (it is easy to never be happy with ones acomplishments in the US because there is a continuous demand for more work)

sounds familiar. thing is i can’t stand the coffee ive tasted so far so i don’t drink it (hand over the mountain dew pplz and nobody gets hurt!). However, Ive always been insomnia prone and rarely sleep well. The cure for this I came to find out after starting college and having three part time jobs was that I needed to completely exhaust myself during the course of the day to be able to fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. of course I still don’t feel very refreshed when i wake up (thats why i get to make up for the lack of hours of sleep on fridays by sleeping in) but at least I don’t have to lie in bed for hours waiting for sleep to take over.

Oh Khalidah..
you remind me of me with this post ! I am having such a lousy sleep lately , I sleep late , i wake up late for work .. I am not a coffee person at all , but for the past month I have been drinking TURKISH coffee hoping it would keep me sober during the work day .. and I don’t even like it .. what a torture !
And about sleepless nights .. I’ve once posted something about my personal experience http://danahtealover.blogspot.com/2006/06/sleepless-sunday-nights.html#links .
All best wishes with a good night sleep !

9-10 hours of sleep…what, are you crazy
5-6 hours is more than enough
you want to sleep..here’s an advice, don’t; exhaust yourself to the limit until you can’t stand, then sleeeeeeep
another way to sleep is to count – while visualising- cows..big milky tiny cows ( call me crazy, but after a while you’ll feel tired and sleep)

I feel sick that you mentioned it from drinking coffee on empty stomach (although it was the best money can buy).

Hey Khalidah, is there a reason your clock is on California time? I thought you live in Jordan.

Bassel,
As for cows she may not sleep for imagining their smell, but I will tell you what works with me and Never failed:
I read Ayat elkursi, before even finishing it i am done and sleep. Try it Khokhah and all others who cannot sleep.

I have frequently these episodes of sleep deprivation. When I go to bed a complete chaos of visions, sounds, faces, and analysis of issues happens. I read that the mind starts a process of “filtering” unused memories and I think this system of filtering occurs while sleeping.
