Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I CAN'T SLEEP...
I have a mandatory training class tomorrow (all week), have to get up at 0530 hrs, and here I am, wide awake!
I guess working night shift is a little tough to break for only a week--I was 25 minutes late for class the first day; 5 minutes late the 2nd.
I PROMISED I WOULDN'T BE LATE THIS MORNING--and now I can't sleep!
Tossed & turned for a little bit...I don't do the tossing & turning thing well. I know if I'm not asleep within 15 to 30 minutes of getting into bed, I'm in trouble.
I'm hoping that staring at this screen for a little bit will help make me drowsy (it does at work )...
IS IT FRIDAY YET? I WORK NIGHT SHIFT FOR A REASON!!!!

As I say (being a chronic insomniac) you can sleep when you are dead.
Good luck with your classes my sleepy friend.

Troi -
If the problem persists, I recommend Melatonin. If you haven't heard about it, it's a natural sleep aid available at any pharmacy or supermarket with all the other vitamins and supplements. The reason I like it is that it's all natural, and promotes good, natural sleep. I work nights as well, so normally sleep late. If I know I have to be up early and/or will have limited sleep, I take one before bed. It makes 4 hours feel like 6. Good luck!

lol i have a post like this somewhere too. Im a big fan of Nyquil. ( Sparingly, it can be addicting, and one should be careful while taking it ) I never get as good a nights sleep as i do taking that stuff! ( I dont recommend anyone taking it regularly, but if you have a night you need to sleep, i would recommend it for a night or two if its safe for you to do so)

In the pharmacy department, there's a product called "Simply Sleep".
I think it's put out by Tylenol, and it's VERY GENTLE-NOT like having a house dropped on you and having the munchkins singing "Dong-Dong The Witch Is Dead".
My mom uses it all the time.
Me??
I use Temazepam.
I need the house and the singing...

Yeah, the thing I like best about the melatonin is the refreshed, ready to face the day feeling upon waking up instead of the "Why did I just take medicine I did not need soley for the side-effects? medicine head feeling.
