Unlike others on the boards who have dreams my problem is getting to sleep. I've always loved dabbling with rhymes etc but now I find that they keep me awake at nights. Does anyone else have this problem ? Is there a cure ? See my little plea below. Jeff

Jeff you need to do something energetic to wear you out lol

I have had trouble sleeping foy years. It takes me at least 2 hours to drop off. I cant offer any solutions but if you find any, let me know. Fee

Oh please my dearest friends on genes Please help me with my plight, I've verses running through my mind And I can't sleep at night. Pray tell me there's an antidote To combat all this verse, I really need to get some help Before things get much worse. One night I started counting sheep But didn't get so fa', A verse kept running through my mind A noisy ba-ba-ba. I've tried reciting ladies names Like Jenny, Jean and Rose, But though they kept the verse at bay My mind was filled with prose. So dearest peeps please rack your brains And come up with a tip, So I can go to bed at night And get a decent kip. Jeff Lol

The breathing techniques used in yoga are very good for helping you sleep

Very nice Jeff. Have you tried getting physically exhausted last thing at night. NO that is not a come on. lol T.O.R. ;x))

Oh Jeff you do make me smile, I think it has something to do with age LOL the older we get the less sleep we need well so they say Lilxxx

JEFF I GO TO BED MIDNIGHT AN UP AT BETWEEN 4-5 am,,,,,,,, OR HOW ABOUT UN RYHMING THEM INSTEAD

Lil, I must be getting ancient as I manage without any sleep some nights. As for doing something energetic I don't know what you ladies have in mind Lol. I've also tried deep breathing exercises but the wheezing in my chest also keeps me awake. Probably smoke too much Jeff PMSL

Nite Nurse is heaven sent- knocks you out like no-one's business. catherine xx

QUICK SWITCH MIND OFF COMMENTS TO REPLY WITH OHHH ONCE YOU THINK OF QUICK REMARKS THEY WONT LEAVE YOUR HEAD

Jeff love my Oh has this problem,but with his sense of humour he just said, 'tell jeff to sleep on the edge of the bed, he'll soon drop off' I knew this would appeal to your sense of humour ,love! Seriously I'll have a think and post again, Caz xxxx

I know what you mean Dragonfly, the thoughts don't leave your head, do they? As for nite nurse Catherine, if I mentioned that to the wife she might take it the wrong way and she might knock me out Lol. She does get mixed up sometimes. Jeff

Love OHs little joke Caz Did he hear about the chap who went for some Viagra pills. The chemist made a mistake and gave him Niagara pills, he took two and during the night he flowed over the bottom of the bed. Jeff PMSL
