Are you a pagan insomniac?

Are you a pagan insomniac?

Here are some signs that you might be....

.... If you have ever added caffeine to a ritual...... *Double points if you have ever forgotten your precious caffeine and had to reopen your circle to get it- it is that important....

....... If you have ever fallen asleep during meditation...... Somewhere between the calming thoughts and steady breaths you start snoring...... * Double points if you dont light candles during meditation because of this. ** Triple points if you have ever done this while meditating with other people.,...

.....If youve ever wondered why there isn't a God or Goddess of sleep.... *Double if you have ever thought about giving an offering, just in case...... **Triple if you already have.....

..... If you've ever decided on a whim that 3:00 in the morning was the PERFECT time to collect your herbs from your garden...... *Double if you have a flashlight waiting by the door for this particular reason....

...... Have even cut the Athame out of the ritual because you knew you shouldnt be around pointy objects while being THIS tired...... * Double if your Athame is dusty because of this......

.....If you've ever gotten upset that your local herb/crystal shop is not open overnight... After all, pagans are notoriously night people.... *Double if you have tried to convince the store of this.....

***seriously- I have a problem- Sorry to kill the mood!! I haven't slept more then 10 hours the last three days and I am seriously tired. I was hoping someone could help me. I have tried sleep baths, herbal tea, and making sleep pillows, but nothing has worked yet. Please someone help. PM pills dont work for me, niether does meletonin. I refuse to take anything perscription cause if I wanted to wake up tired in the morning, I would just stay awake. That and I dont really like putting things like that in my body. HELP!!!*****

Comment by Jade on December 18, 2008 at 7:00am: emerald- i have to stay up to the point of exhaustion, too. then i sleep like a baby. but, like you said- i am tired the next day. i will definity try cutting caffiene out of my life :( i will miss it though! the other suggestions i will try as well. i will also go to my doctor for thyroid check up.. can that also affect weight? ive been having to go to extremes just to loose a couple lbs. i work out two hours a day, i dont eat white sugar, and white bread. i only eat whole grain pasta, and bread. i eat all the fruits and vegetables i am supposed to, yet i only lost three lbs in a month. oh, i also dont drink sodas. thank you guys so much! blessed be!

Comment by Fox on December 18, 2008 at 1:02am: I will stay up for days and days and days, a few times a year. 17 is the longest stretch... and that's with zero drugs. I have a good friend that stayed up for 27 days straight but that was on drugs.... and he ended up in the emergency room. If you start brushing your teeth with shaving cream and you don't notice something is off then you've been awake for way too long.

Comment by Cassandra on November 25, 2008 at 12:04pm: These were funny :o) And here is a site that gives a few tips. Maybe they will help.

Have you tried reading something really boring before you go to bed? Do you eat anything heavy before? If you do, don't eat anything heavy anymore. Or how about some warm milk? I really don't know what else to tell you. If i have anymore ideas pop into my head i'll let you know. :o)
