At my CBT class we do a similar thing, you start with your toes and tense/scrunch them as much as you can for a few seconds, then relax. Do it 3 times, then do your calf muscles, then thighs; bum; hands; arms; shoulders; neck; eyes; nose; mouth. It makes you feel all floopy and ready for bed :)

I had a slice of toast..(minus the butter… i’m lactose intolerant..:( )
I had a hot bath.. with some nice posh bubbles from Lush!!

i went for a jog about an hour ago thinking it would wear me out..

CBT? I know several possible meanings for that, but can’t imagine those exercises being needed for any of them. And one of them is quite scary…

Holly you should read Emma.
It is the most boring book ever written. When I was in school I used to have trouble sleeping and reading half a page of Emma always put me into a coma!

What are your experiences with sleeping tablets? I’ve never taken them but have been tempted before. Read some bad things mind.

i had them when i was younger..they just made me feel like crap..
although i had a combination of tablets..
one of the side affects of one of the tablets was insomnia..the other ones were supposed to prevent it…
but had to take them all…
i wouldn’t recommend sleeping tablets..
they can become addictive..and the more you use them the less they’ll work…

Seriously though, any sleep yet?
This thread’s been going for a few days, if you haven’t slept since it started it could really take it’s toll on your body.
And that’s not too good…
