I won't call it insomnia because it's like... the body is tired but the mind holds the body in sway and you are awake as long as you can think and soon it is 6 in the morning and then you wake up thinking all shorts of shit you aren't really totally aware of because you stopped listening to the constant conversation....
I haven't been sleeping a lot lately. I haven't been sleepy and I have been around people more than I can be at this juncture. Oh blah, right? Blah.
So, I am curious, are there other Gemini moons (nervous energy kinda amasses in it) out there with so much energy they find it hard to sleep... like me?
It makes me wonder if this new-found energy doesn't come from transiting Mars moving through Gemini (too easy, right?), but I would love to hear any ideas. I am SO waiting to crash.

Re: Sleeplessness
Sat, March 25, 2006 - 7:00 PMI'm a double Geminii and I too have trouble sleeping sometimes. My mind won't shut off and I tend to think about the events of the day. Or think about the events of the next day and other random shit . I'll tell you what though, Tylenol PM is a godsend. It says it's "not habit forming". -

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 4:12 AMYeah... but it stays in my body for a while and once it has completely left my system, I am awake with a vengence.
... I don't think I get enough alone time sometimes.

Re: Sleeplessness
Sat, May 27, 2006 - 5:46 PMI am with you. It's kind of annoying, "the body/the mind" balancing act. Even when I get to sleep, my mind is still racing like crazy. After awhile of not sleeping properly, my brain starts to overcompensate and I start talking really fast to everyone. If people don't know me, they sometimes ask me "what are YOU on", gotta love that. My doctor tried all kinds of hard core meds to knock my ass out, but none of it worked out for me; she came to the conclusion that maybe she needed to go a different route and try Aderol (pharmy speed). I declined that for sure. Does caffine wake you up? It makes me a little tired. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 4:12 AMYou know, I tried that trick the other day and it worked. Did a double shot of expresso and it actually brought me down when I was just up for a while (over thinking).
I have had hardcore meds work on me. Clonapin (ms?) was beautiful and worked, but they don't just give those out in the real world. Damn, I miss college (which is where I got a prescription for them)...
Green tea wakes me up. I can't drink coffee-coffee because I will just lose my freaking mind. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 1:57 PMMy doctor, who is also a ND, has prescribed me so much shit that the pharmacist called me concerned. Clonapin, Valium, Adavan, Tranzadone, & Phenobarbatol. After the pharmacist called me I just stopped taking everything and said "I just want the medical card"; I had it in Oregon but I'm not sure how easy it is to get in Washington state. Headiez do help me a lot with insomnia and anxiety. -

Lately, getting laid has been doing the trick.
Chronic kinda makes my thinking more clear. Which scares me a bit.
But I am trying not to think about it because I won't be able to get any for *quite* some time. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Sun, June 4, 2006 - 10:13 AMHad another ear infection pop up so I want to the Doc and got *the* best shit I've ever found to make me sleep...promethazine aka phennegren cough syrup. Find a reason to get some...it works for that draining, tickly cough one gets associated w/ sinus problems.
Quenten, I've got my moon in the 12th house too...so I'm feelin' ya on the "not enough time alone" thing. All the comotion going on in the head...when you don't find time during the day to let it all run it's course, engage in all the necessary "conversation" with one's selves...when you finally lie down, they all decide to wake up!
I don't post here too frequently...I think I'm scared of uncovering too much of myself at this point (semi-joking).
Check out the thread on Astrology where they were comparing us w/ Satan himself...too frickin' funny. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, June 5, 2006 - 12:18 PMHmmmm....I find this same thing, but it really doesn't seem to correlate with any planetary movements. I am always in bed at night and my body is tired and my mind just won't shut the hell up!! I have a bit of abnormal anxiety as it is, but it seems as though nothing helps. One thing I find VERY interesting is the talk of caffiene making people sleepy. I seem to get an opposite effect from *substances* than anyone else I've ever met. I can drink coffee to the extreme and it doesn't effect my energy level at all. If I'm given pain killers, the ones that most people get really loopy and eventually they knock them out, I get all wired and am up cleaning frantically until they wear off....give me ephedrine of some sort...and I'm all relaxed and calm. The only thing that has the effect it should on me are Klonopin, those things, if I take enough of them, do me in...and, my doc gives them to me like candy to try to curb my anxiety...I am just a freak about too many foreign substances in my body and I only take them when I absolutely have to and then I only take the minimal amount...I know...silly, but ah well.

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, June 5, 2006 - 12:54 PMI wonder, percentage wise, what sign seems to be administered the most anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety medications?
I know lots of Gemini-types who are "speed freaks" (myself included). From caffeine and Ephedra all the way to Meth. And it does seem to have the opposite effect on all of us....calmness. All of a sudden I can FOCUS!
I had to lay off the hard shit, tho. I swear if that crap wasn't pure poison I'd still be on it right now. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Mon, June 5, 2006 - 1:09 PMThat is a very interesting observation. I'm going to have to do some research now. I am such a caffiene junkie, it's crazy. I eat, sleep and breathe coffee, the stronger, the better. Without it, no one would want to be my friend!! Focus...ahhh...the elusive quality I have searched for my entire life. Coffee helps, but unfortunately, nothing I have tried other than extremely stimulating conversation (for the short period it keep my attention), has helped me focus enough to be taken out of the chaos catagory....LOL *sighs*

Re: Sleeplessness
Thu, June 8, 2006 - 5:36 PMcareful Kali, coffee is not very healthy in large, consistent doses over long periods of time.
not only does it cause damage to the stomach and intestinal lining,
but my Mom got fibroids in her breasts from drinking 4 cups a day for 8 months straight. -

Re: Sleeplessness
Fri, June 9, 2006 - 12:28 PMYes, I know of the bad in coffee. I try to stay limited in it. I have reduced from several pots of coffee per day to maybe one pot of coffee per week at this point, sometimes less. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated.

So, lately, I have been doing a *lot* of walking and moving about and I have been sleeping pretty regularly. It's been really cool.
I was really worried because I won't be able to get any herb until next Friday. -

I gotta have it *everyday* dude....everyday. Otherwise my brain goes loco on me, then completely shuts down...things won't *flow*. It's like a constant stop-and-start.
But I make sure that doesn't happen. -

I need it, too, in order to keep the bullshit from mattering more than the real shit, know what I mean?
While I am totally consumed by bullshit, I keep finding ways to subvert it, but damn, I'll be happy when I can afford to have some again. -

"Toatlly consumed by bullshit"...I'm gonna use that one, dude.
I think we get totally consumed by the *details* of everything...so it helps if you can do *whatever* to keep looking at things in a positive way.
