How are you doing, if you don't mind me asking? Job, health?
Is 2020 treating you better so far?

Hey, I do actually appreciate people asking, especially when someone just means it, not some friend / acquitance and when you tell them your problems and they go like oh wait gotta go have an appointment, you know.
It's going with it's ups and downs, normally i could get my energy battery charged in the weekends and then work the few days a week i do now, however since november i took some sort of hit and my battery seems to continue to stay low (i would say 20%). lots of waking up at nights, and then can't sleep anymore. I'd spend over 100 euro on all sorts of things just to try and sleep better.
I see kids at work, 14yr, even my mother and they get sleeping pills no prob, and for some reason they won't let me, and now my cholestrol is spiking a bit again, i especially won't get them.
Around Christmas i had 2 weeks of vacation (but also all the organizations that could help me), you think you get rested (although family members, neighbours they still had their morning traffic so still couldn't sleep in) then the monday after, i started working again and had a night of 2 hours of sleep in which i felt so crap i turned in sick and in that turn i think they it made me get the flu (even though i had a flu shot) a few days later and thus had to call sick yet again, i been home for 1 month.
Now with one of those meds i tried it gave me the same bad feeling in my right side exactly the same as when i was still drinking alcohol \which i know have quit a full year) but that just shouldn't happen / nor is it normal which makes me believe there is still something wrong, yet my doctor just keeps giving me bloodtest after bloodtest,
In march i am supposed to go to the doctor again and i will tell him about that right side thing and press for more tests.
Sidenote, there is a review site about my doctor post, and there was a mother with her sick daughter, and one of the doctors said oh she got nothing but will give her antibiotics, the mother went to someone else and turned out that daughter had something very serious.. go figure.
The job thing i am doing is now is just to keep busy and get some experience on my resume while keeping wellfare.
But not really clear how much that boss there is actually persueing in finding you a real job elsewhere, i was supposed to get a jobcoach but her mother passed away when we had an appointment so she was out of the running a few months, now she got back to work, but the wellfare thing is not working along with it, they look at the money not the people you know.
And all in all my parents being 70+, living still with me and a 16yr old niece who is a bit behind on her age, that also causes a lot of frustrations between eachother.
I just hope one day to win the lottery (especially since i mostly got the bad, and they say everyone get the good in life too) i am also registered at some website for house renting but the housing market is so so horrible here, my dad told me to registed 8 years ago thats why i am now at 15-40 rank depending on the house, but i think you need to be in the top 10 to be really eligble, and if you are number 1 you get the most chance.
But i also need some money saved up for redecorations which isn't working yet as i keep get computer stuff (like an old modded ps3/xbox 360 which i feel cant wait as they could be gone forever as it needs a special serial code) and as i said medicines trying to get some sleep, and lottery tickets (hoping to get a break) it all adds up.
Sorry, long story :p But in short a lot of stuff now is also waiting. And maybe i should work out again, go jogging but it stays bad weather, i wish it would turn spring soon you know.
How are you?

As long as life's chugging along, y'know. Glad to hear there's some good, even if it's along with the bad.

Thanks, though some get more bad then others, but what can you do about it?

Hi Lugum, sorry to hear about all that is happening to you. Youknow, I know you a little but not enough to be inquisitive, at least I believe it's not my place to ask.
I really wish you're going to get better this year healthwise at least.
I couldn't help but notice in you message the part relating to your "right side just like when you were drinking"
Which led me to think: liver.
If you have any paracetamol (or acetaminophen) please don't take it! there are alternative (each with it own problems of course). I'm no doctor but my wife is (it helps ;-) ). Anyway, if you have such medication try to switch to ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, see if the pain on the "right side" eases up.
And drink plenty of water.
Hang in there you'll get through it!
PS: as usual I have no idea what to do for the puzzle. Didi checked the source of the page but non luck. It's ok I'll wait for the next Jigidi.

Hey.
Thanks, i know about the paracetamol thing after i stopped, when i was still drinking alcohol, and had the hangovers (didnt get drunk though) i always took them, even 6, now i rarely need them, some say ibuprofen is also bad though.
But the thing is after a year that feeling in your side shouldn't be there any more and it was gone for pretty much a year until a few weeks ago, also an ultrasound showed the outside looked okay, so then maybe it's the inside or something else there blocking something (gal/kidneystones?) and if it's even something that would explain the problems with sleeping/lack of energy is it 1 thing, or 2 seperate, but i am not a doctor either.
And i am open, you can ask me anything, even in an old giveaway or on steam.
It's really more a repeatable gimmick then a puzzle, i have done it plenty of times (and others too in the past). ;)

Keep your spirits up, man. You're bound for some good any time :)
lots of waking up at nights, and then can't sleep anymore. I'd spend over 100 euro on all sorts of things just to try and sleep better.
I see kids at work, 14yr, even my mother and they get sleeping pills no prob, and for some reason they won't let me,
I know how you feel. Could never get any sleeping pill from any doc due to asthma issues. Not that they really help.
I know this is going to sound so hipster new age but have you tried meditation? I've taken it up about a month ago and I sleep much much better than I used to, which, since I've been an insomniac from age 5, is saying a lot for me.
It's nothing huge really but it helps me clear my mind of all the stuff that keeps me up and more importantly it helps me breathe myself to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. It's done a lot for my energy.
I don't have time or a stable enough schedule for classes or anything fancy so I use an app and it's been working out. Maybe try it and see if it helps you;
Or else, there's always weed :P
Now with one of those meds i tried it gave me the same bad feeling in my right side exactly the same as when i was still drinking alcohol \which i know have quit a full year) but that just shouldn't happen
How do you eat these days? Could be gallbladder related. My girlfriend had a pain for years in her right side and she was given a variety of pills by pez dispensers in white coats, for years, and guess what? Never helped. Then one day, it got so bad, we went to the ER and the doctor was like "well you have gallstones" and she was stunned that my gf was never diagnosed with it. Ugh. Doctors, don't get me started. A simple echography was all that was needed to confirm the diagnostic. 8 years of pills and blood tests later.
Anyway, a proper balanced food intake is really helpful with that and that's why I was asking how you were eating. It also influences your sleep.
Anyway, I hope you get better with everything and that you keep your chin up.

Well it's doublesided i need something to take the edge off a bit relax and sleep (although i don't worry about things when i am in my bed) i know from some pills i nicked or "found" from my mom they atleast for sure relax, and they can help with sleeping although doctors even if they prescribe them they only want to do it for 3 weeks, even though my mom gets them for 2 decades, and 2 kinds even.
I have thought about meditation but i don't have the time i feel already pressured enough on all my computer stuff (trust me 8500 games on steam alone isn't always so fun as it seems) but i also don't think i got the patience for it, maybe i should work out more but waiting on better weather.
From someone else i heard who had a daughter with the same thing, she was adviced to write down her daily things in a diary before going to bed which also helped her, guess it's a bit the same thing.
Overall i had it when i was little too, not sleeping but hanging in the school benches you know. I think its more something physical, but maybe you are right.
I would be open to weed but not in smoking form, i refuse to smoke and drink alcohol (i did sleep better, not only on nights when i drank, but overall). I know we atleast here also got it in chocolate form, but probably is expensive.
I eat horribly (rarely have breakfast) that's when you sleep so bad, you get lack of energy and when you do work and get home you don't have the energy to make a full meal, and yes there are microwave dinners, but they are disgusting and doubt they are very healthy.. :p
But also still living with my parents i am also dependent on what they bring, and we only have 2 working gas stove for months and then it's always fighting with my mom so i just let it go, we get a new kitchen but will take another month. I do take an A-Z vitamine each day to atleast get something in though.
Honestly i would even go more to eating less meat, more nuts and healthier food but that's often more expensive and when you don't got much money.
Gallstones/Kidneystones i also pondered about it might be that maybe, but they done an echo for my liver and some other stuff but i guess it would have showed up in an echo?
I haven't been feeling 100% for a good 3 years, and i do firmly believe there is something but just don't know what, googling is a bad thing but there isn't even one thing where i can say yes i have that, but only few symptoms here, few symptoms there.
The outside of my liver/kidney etc seemed to be good but maybe the insides? or some obstruction? But i got a doctor that just gave me 6 bloodtests in 1 1/2 year..

Hi Lugum. Sorry to hear things aren't going so well for you recently. No law says you have to eat oatmeal in the morning - I eat it in the afternoon sometimes. You can cook the whole oats in a microwave in seconds if there's a conflict with the household stove, add some nuts and dried fruit and it's a healthy light meal. If you don't think you have the patience for meditation, maybe give yoga a try? It's more physical than meditation but much quieter than exercise. There are many benefits, including help with sleep patterns. Here's a link to a very good beginner's session. Only 20 minutes of your time. Good luck and hope you find some solutions and improvement to your situation soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
No but if you get home 15:00 (and i dont even have normal workdays yet) you dont go eat oatmeal then and 2 hours later already your dinner, i would be full then already.
And i did try that milk thistle and my cholestrol dropped awhile, but for some reason it started going up a little again. not to alarming rates but enough for a doctor to also not give me sleeping pills.
Maybe yoga is good, also still seems a bit boring. but ah motivation eh. Now if it could be combined with gaming. :p
Thank you.

Old fashioned rolled oats, 1 serving = 210 calories. Trust me, you will be hungry again in an hour. Now stop making excuses and eat your oats! Very glad to hear the milk thistle helped you. The raise is probably your diet. (oats?) Motivation is always the hard part for all of us. It's only 20 minutes ... as for boring, you might be surprised - many people find it addictive (because it makes them feel good).
You're welcome :)

Ok, I pinched in again.
Do you like Ambient music? or at least do you not hate it so you can give it a listen once in a while?
If so, I'd like to recommend Ambient Nights (https://www.mixcloud.com/Ambient_Nights/stream/)
Especially the Sol System serie or Ethni-City serie.. At one point of time, it was the only thing putting me to sleep.
And if you like the style it's also great mixes (but that may be just me ). They're also on YouTube.
Make sure it's loud enough so you can hear it faintly but no more and then it should help you fall asleep.
It's free so worth a shot...
If you can't stand the music style, there are also some meditation/relaxing videos on YT, check it out find something that fits you and give it a go.. hopefully it will work.

I like ambient music and there are some good ones in your link and i will save it thanks.
But for sleeping it's not an option, there are too many lights on the pc, and even the fans (while very quiet) if i would wake up (which is a thing that i keep waking up) i can't fall asleep again either.
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/gO2rM/bliss-and-almost-bliss that are 2 i like very much but also for the text.

Wow, congrats on the 1 year milestone! That's quite the accomplishment!!
As for the doc, yeap, I agree. If you're not satisfied with the diagnosis, get a 2nd opinion. I've had my fair share of useless MDs, I've learned to follow my instincts on that matter. Try adding oats/oatmeal to your breakfast a couple times a week. It's cheap, and it works miracles for lowering your cholesterol levels.
Hopefully your job and housing situations will get better soon. Nothing to do but wait, sadly. I have 0 idea what the housing/job markets look like over there u_u
Me? Well, I'm doing just fine, luckily. My kid turns 2 years old next week, and I just changed position in te firm I work for. So no salary raise, but better people around me, so I'm very happy with the change. I should start working out too, I gained 5 kilos last year (10~ish pounds) so I now am around 15 kg over my "target". But I'm a lazy man, and I don't want to exercise, hehehe.

Thanks, well i had several and all are bad. one review site of my doctors post mentioned a mother who went with her daugther, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with her, gave her antibiotics, then she went to another doctors post and then she was told she had something very serious but i dont know if i can switch with all that Insurance crap.
I know about oatmeal, but its best if you make it yourself with milk etc instead of a pack, but i am so not a morning person and only caffeine (tea) gets me going, and by the time i am home it's almost dinner already, and well i have to do with wellfare atm, and yes stupidly some goes to game/computer stuff and lottery tickets (hoping you win something to get yourself out of things) but also spend over a hundred just
to try to find anything that could help me sleep better (and nothing worked..).
If i get a higher ranking for houses then my wellfare increases but offcourse then you get other costs, and i should be saving for it and i already said i would this january, but now i see a ps3/xbox 360 modded (and since they are scarce…) plus a VR set...
Housing market is really is a crisis, for renting 45 houses per day become available for an area of 4.5 million,,for buying 300.000 houses we are short of, in turn those houses that do exist can keep pumping up their prices which makes it a lot of people can't even afford it.
Also you got that whole climate change thing in which we also can't build too many houses.
I am all for those container houses you know (that can be really cheap) but that isn't a thing here, on average a house cost 250.000 euro.
Good to hear, Money isn't everything either, and who knows maybe you can get a raise in another few years.
And yeah you really need to have a drive and motivation to get sporting, WII fit back in the days was fun to get some exercize but it gets old too eventually. apparently sex is also defined as a good workout but eh... :p But dont even need to go to a gym or whatever taking a bike instead of a car or stairs instead of an elevator, that's already better then nothing.

Oof that's a lot of bad. Sorry to hear ☹️. Good sleep is tied to a lot of things. Unfortunately, when you fail in 1 area such as diet, exercise, or psychological it all pulls each other down. Even willpower is tied to how you feel and you need willpower to make any change in your life.
I would say you need balance in your life. It sounds easier than it really is. What I learned from time management games like Sunless Sea, Stardew Valley, and Punch Club, is you need a realistic routine and goals.
1 Prioritize one habit at a time.
Meditation Example: Focus on just breathing out (like you are blowing a 🎈). Then take a deep breath in and recover when you feel light-headed.
Exercise Example: Just jump in place in place with your arms up like Ken from Street Fighter 2. Getting into a fighting stance and jumping may sound silly, but it really does work a lot of muscles and releases some of your tension.
Diet Example: Beans and potatoes. They are really cheap, but pack a lot of nutrition. Buy a pound of dry beans. Then soak them at room temperature for half a day or a day. Drain them and boil them with the potatoes for 1 hour or less. Add no salt or pepper and just eat it bland. Put plenty of water and drink it all up for the Vitamin C, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, and Fiber.

Thank you.
Well we got very loud walls/houses, almost too noisy, if i kept jumping around hard that would cause issues with the neigbours.
Even thought of just running up the stairs up and down, but that also isn't very quiet.
I am very very picky with eating, i almost like no vegetables, and we are a potato country, and my parents just eat them but i Always need my own food because of it, which usually turns to rice, pasta and other things.
Fish is also good but i don't like it either, it makes a good diet very limited.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dang noisy walls. My bane as well. There's a family of 8 right above me and they make a lot of noise at midnight. Jumping on bed and roughhousing.
Another idea is doing squats while you are playing a game with a controller. I do this a lot. I also do breath holds intermittently while working on the computer. That keeps me awake.
So cooked garlic, onions, and peppers for nutrients is out, too? Probably not best eaten by themselves or on an empty stomach.

I had a neighbour kid online gaming, yelling through his headphones and all till 2:00 (i sure got that knocked out of him) by banging the wall each hour to keep him awake :}) They also like to go in bath at 3:00. But when everyone wakes up at 7:00 then you can't do much about it, while you could sleep in, but then you stay awake too while when you already have insomnia..
I really wouldn't mind just living in a cabin in the woods, but then i'd miss the wifi. :p
There is this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFnLnCyXlTg but with wii fit it became boring fast, i suspect this too.
Well i used to have carpet and then i would push my self to do push and pull ups but now we got a wooden floor and i am skinny so it just hurts laying on the floor.
I did not like onions till about 16, then suddenly i liked it, but i had many foods when i was little i had to keep sitting at the table till i finished my plate but i would Always puke it out, so i don't believe in forcing kids like that. too bad we didnt have a dog so i put it in tissues and then flush it down the toilet.
You know one thing i do l like is potatoes/onions/carrots mashed, with a piece of sausage, that i like.
We had some packages in the store with world country foods, you only needed to add some meat and vegetables, i could eat 2 days of it, But lately my parents make it a problem for me to buy groceries with their bank card (while it wasnt a problem for years) now its figure out what you want to eat and make a list, but its so much easier being in the store, or if they are out of something, then you know what to replace it with.
Anyway they also removed a lot of those meals from those packages, so that also really diminished my choices but that was a good way to eat some vegetables.
They even made a commercial with a small kid saying i don't like vegetables and then they showed people from several countries showing how tasty they can be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgMi2Zzhunk

That's some revenge you got there 😂. I could never do that. That's why I do that breathing exercises and slow my breath. It takes so much focus to do that it usually zones me out. But in that case why not play loud metal music and do crunches like you're head banging to get some revenge.
Yeah I also wouldn't mind a cabin in the woods 🤣
Yeah that ring exercise game looks fun, but you don't need it. Getting sunlight has also been shown to help with sleep (20 minutes). Even if it's just standing by a window all creepy and scaring the neighborhood kids. My point is get creative with fitting stuff in. Every day you make choices that can fall into a box of other choices that most people have already done. Most people lack motivation to exercise or eat right, because it is something someone else came up with. But when you come up with your own cooking methods, your own exercise routines, it makes all the difference. You know yourself best 😉.
You gotta make do with what you have (being resourceful). I also spat out a lot of foods I didn't like growing up and was forced to finish my plate. Here is the thing though, you're an educated adult now. So what if it tastes bland, bitter, texture is awful, smells awful. You yourself have to make the choice: Do you want to eat to live or live to eat? Now that I'm adult taking care of my diabetic mom who is paying the price for only eating what tasted good (fried food, sweets, processed foods). I'm making that choice "eat to live". I want to live strong even if it means swallowing down what I don't like. Vitamin pills are not meant to replace vegetables.
Yeah it sucks that you can't use a kitchen or shop for groceries yourself, but at least you can plan ahead figure out what you want to eat. It just takes some out of the box thinking.
There are people out in the world that have it much worse than us. Not having access to clean water, food, or a roof over their heads.

What struck me here was the sentence: "I have thought about meditation but I don't have time......"
Then make some!
I know easier said than done, but it is not said lightly! (just read my cake day post and you know i have it still rough myself)
You are in a downward spiral and the only one that break that spiral is you!
Silly us always seem to prioritize the stuff we HAVE to do by obligation. so when energy levels drop low everything goes into maintaining the things we HAVE to do!
That's a recipe for disaster, been there done that..... and fall into the culprit some more and then climb out again.
I am always SO grateful when someone asks me: "And what about you? what do you need, what do you deserve?"
We have to take care of ourselves first.
I am with Alvin on the meditation part.
And trust me: a little goes a long way!
You deserve the time to wind down.
I am practicing yoga (using the channel with adriene) and it helps me.
But.....sometimes life, the stress and those stoopid viruses get the better of me and I neglect it.
I just restarted, cause without the yoga, I tense up and am no longer able to breath deeply.
The breath is so important in calming you and your nervous system down.
Sleepless nights......don't get me started......
I've been tired for over 40 yrs now, I recently discovered I have sleep apneu and am eligible for a CPAP.
I do use sleep medication, got it prescribed when I totally lost it (my sanity that is) due to lack of sleep.
Got it prescribed in a time when the dosage was higher than it is now.
I hope to be able to wean myself of it once I have the CPAP.
Sleep medication is NOT a solution!
You have a lot going on in your life that you have no influence on, that causes stress.
The only adjustments you can make are about yourself.
You can learn to relax.
It won't take away all the problems but it will help you to get "batteries that better charge"
Don't know about the health issues, hope it isn't anything serious.
Yes, doctors do miss stuff.
So keep a close eye on it.
But.....don't underestimate what the lack of sleep and stress does to your body: it can really make you ill!
I am no Saint, I do loads of stoopid things and I don't always heed my own advise!
But I am trying.
So please: try!
You deserve it!
Meditation and/or yoga of 15-30 min a day can really help.
There's also practices for bed time, that really help to slooooowwwwww down.
Going to bed all wired doesn't help at all.
And.......you know it for sure: shut down your computer earlier!
Unless you need it for relaxation practice.
This wasn't meant to be all preachy, so please don't take it that way.
It's just the sentence "I have no time........" that got me started.......
You really need to start there.
Throws in some free {{{{HUGS}}}}

I find sleep medication not being a solution, a debateable discussion, and definitely not understimating sleep deprevation.
If your insomnia can be so severe like for me (and other people) it can so affect your life, how you are in life (like being edgy) your work (making mistakes) etc etc then you get so desperate you try anything, and if you got diabetes for example then having to take a pill each day then it's totally normal, yet for sleep even according to doctors they are just temp solutions.
I am even for a pill to chill out on certain moments rather then stressing all the time (i got oxazepam but it's having less and less effect but that goes pretty much for all medicine, when i still drank alcohol i barely got drunk either anymore, maybe my metabolism goes too fast or whatever).
And you got sites with like 10 tips to sleep better, like don't eat (spicy) foods before 22:00, don't sit on your smartphone before going to sleep all those things which you already aren't doing, and then you are basically stuck with well what then?
I had one doctor prescribing me melatonine which would cost me 25 euro.. (which wasn't covered, so didn't take it) but apparently that's only for stuff like jetlags anyway and not for long time sleeping issues.
The problem with sleep issues is that it can be so many things, from stress to physical things like sleep apnea. for the first case sure i have no doubt yoga could help, for physical issues i am not so sure, and it never hurts to try, and i do got a serious knot in my right shoulder for years, so who knows.
Maybe i also need to go to one of those sleeping centers someday, but i heard some bad stories (even from someone that his results got mixed up with someone else…)
You are right, with no energy i sometimes just skip making healthy dinner, in which offcourse you also drop in energy, and then you get no energy for exercizing, it's a circle.
My dad snore alot (used to wake up the whole house for years) and he got a CPAP for some years, the snoring was gone with it, and i think it goes very good for him.
Thank you, And maybe i will try out yoga, there are just so many things going on in life (and yeah maybe they are excuses or just trying finding that starting energy).
And i read your discussion but didn't really know what to say but i also wish you the very best. HUGS.

I hear you!
And I certainly don't have a solution, wish I had......
I've been to a sleep center and I had a sleep study.
I hardly slept that night so my apneu wasn't discovered then.
But if you don't have apneu their policy is behavior therapy.
You have to learn to sleep again, with sleep hygiene rules etc.
You won't get pills from any sleeping center.
As far as melatonine it's OTC medicine, you can buy it at any pharmacy (drogist)
But....it only helps you get to sleep, it won't help staying asleep.
So if you frequently wake up, it's probably not going to help you.
But you can always try.
Having trouble sleeping is a real nightmare!
So I am taking this very serious.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah that's the thing i do wake up frequently and you definitely shouldn't watch the clock else you definitely can't fall asleep again.
Especially when you got an alarm going off at 7:00 and you wake up at 5:45/6:00 and after 6:30 you know sleeping 30 minutes isn't worth it anymore either.
And when you had a short night and you are so tired you should fall asleep but when you wake up and you feel like some sort of adrenaline.
I know someone whose daughter had the same thing also not a worrier, she had to write in a diary about her daily stuff before going to bed but apparently that helped.
They say oh with alcohol you sleep better, or when people quit, well the problems actually started again when i quit a year ago lol, even got a new matress last year (last one was 20 years old) hoping that would do magic, but it didn't.
I even have one of the clocks that wake you up with bird sounds (won it from some newspaper) but never really tried it, also a pain to setup (but also very bright).
Hope for you that thing atleast works (took a long time to get that diagnose though).
But reading your thread you must also have a lot of worries (keeping you up?).
Cute gif. :)

I don't know if I can give any useful advice
my fiancee has chronic sleeping problems, and we just keep trying new things, it might improve for a day or two and then she's back to not sleeping. It's rough, I feel for you
I wish I knew what to do though, I know there are sleep specialists in some hospitals here, we're on a list to see one - we've yet to see
maybe they can actually help, do you have anything like that over there?
Comment has been collapsed.
We got a sleeping center actually in my hometown, but as with one person i know they switched the results, one other person couldn't sleep there so couldn't get tested, and they won't give you sleeping pills either, they probably give you tips (that won't help).
There could be something physically wrong and maybe that could come out of it, but i am also a bit germphobic when it comes to stuff like that, sleeping elsewhere (i wont go sitting on a toilet anywhere else but home either) maybe i eventually need to, but looking for alternatives first too.
But maybe that right side thing in my body is connected to the not sleeping well and i have to go back to the doctor in march and i gonna press to have that checked out more.
And i tried magnesium, magnolia bark, etc etc i spend over 100 euro on stuff that also did not work.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope.
Sorry have to disagree here.
Alcohol doesn't make you sleep better.
It gives you the illusion of sleeping better, because you fall asleep faster. But you are not reaching deep stages of sleep and you wake up frequently. Alcohol undermines the quality of sleep.
But then again, if you hardly get a wink of sleep, you take any form of sleep as a precious gift; even the shabby alcohol induced sleep.
Good for you that you managed to stay of alcohol, that's something to be proud off!
Yeah those worries have a tendency to haunt you when you try to sleep.
During the day we keep our worries at bay and during the night they can represent themselves, cause it is still unresolved.
Learning to relax is not easy when life is rough and that goes for both of us.
Still working on it myself.
Good luck to you and hope life will be better at some point!

I am not talking about sleeping faster if you had that drink, it was overall that i usually had nights when i rarely woke up (unless for a bathroom break) and i don't even mean if i had alcohol just the whole period in which i was still drinking, when i quit, then it started that i woke up more at nights. And that's just how it went for me, could be different for others.
Anyway cheers.

Thank you. That was an interesting song, but not something that is in my normal style.

Yw :) Genesis always been experimental with their music (especially with Peter Gabriel), i like Ray's voice because it's a bit rough, but not everyone liked him in Genesis (not a Genesis fan myself or anything, just a few songs i like).
Two more i like very much:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ1AZmHPKaA Calling all stations (kinda about a wasted life which feels so recognizable)
All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realize whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realized it's important to me
