      What about the other suggestions for 'positive' aspects offered by other members? Do you agree with any of those? Insomnia can be tough, and it can be very difficult to look for any positives. Sometimes it can help to dig, though. If only to help you cope.

      Welcome to the forums, by the way 🙂

      I thought of one positive- It has helped me really appreciate sleep. When I wake up after sleeping well, my whole day seems to go 10x better.

        Hi Martin, I just happened to see this post. After this semester is over I will have another 1.5 years and I can't wait! Except for that whole bar exam thing. How are you liking Oregon?

            Positive: Acting on impulses that perhaps would never be experienced if sleeping. Riding a bicycle in the rain late at night can often give me a smile.

            Negative: The inability to think straight at times when its most important. That, and not being able to summon the energy to appear in places when its most important.

            Does anybody think the way they deal with insomnia would change if they were in a different location? Britain is often wet, and I sometimes think that a place with drier night times especially may encourage a more “pro-active” nocturnal life, perhaps transforming perceptions of insomnia from affliction to something that can be negotiated in a more positive way.

              That's an interesting one. I've heard of a link between altitude and insomnia – http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/is-high-altitude-to-blame-for-your-insomnia/ – and places where there is more sunshine tend to have a population with fewer sleep problems.

              Have you noticed your sleep change when you travel abroad (if applicable)? Some studies have found that vacations don't improve sleep – http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/vacations-may-be-a-cause-of-insomnia/ – and some malaria tablets may cause insomnia, too – http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/vacations-may-be-a-cause-of-insomnia/

                When I don’t sleep well for a couple of days I get very silly and I make my friends laugh. I hadn’t spoken to Arylnn for a year and I had him howling for a half hour straight. One  time when I was picking tobacco in South Ontario Canada I was so sleep deprived that I took the clothes (the leaves) off of a tobacco plant and laughed histarically. When I was teaching Spanish I woke up at two in the morning for a year and I embellished my classroom. When people came to my classroom they said it was homey. I had 30 large spider plants hanging from the ceiling. I felt like I was in Costa Rica. Who knows, with my sleep deprivation maybe I was. I only talk about the highs of insomnia. Thinking positively has huge health benefits. Because I have insomnia I eat incredible nutritios food. This gives me heaps of energy like now. It’s 4:30 in the morning and I feel great. I take 3 heaping tablespoons of bee pollen everyday. I need to be happy even though I have this awful insomnia, so I do it buy making other people happy. This is why I’m so excited. So many good things have happened to me in the last year, and now I think the excitement could be my problem. Is anyone having this interesting problem – excitement and excessive happiness causing insomnia. Another thing I do is after having 4 days of bad sleep I load up on the sleeping pills and get a wonderful break. I look forward to that, and that keeps me motivated. Now thanks to Martin I have a chance to help as many people as I can with insomnia. Again I’m excited. I’ve tried so many things, and I’m never going to give up. Tomas Edison failed 1,000 times before inventing the light bulb. I’m looking forward to U Dream natural herbs that have helped tens of thousands of people in Canada. Google it. Make sure the spelling is correct capital U space capital D and then the rest. I’ve tried it and it is a cure. Now I’ve excited again because Canada is the only country that has it so maybe I can start exporting it and start helping all of us. I was hospitalized from insomnia for 2 months and even though I was 56 years old I was living in a old age home for 8 years. I cured my insomnia, and if you ask why and write me I’ll tell you. Actually I’ll tell you now, I ate really healthy food for 7 months, did 5 hours of exercise everyday, and learned new things – lots of things – like pickelball knitting, playing the piano, salsa dancing and even how to kill (Sorry, I meant to say kiss a women) a women passionately on the internet. Now because I did this I have a lover. I was taking zyprexa which really helped with my sleep but I gained 40 pounds which I later lost. I had arthritis in my left knee, and since I lost all that weight it went away. I had 17 serious health problems, and now I only have one and a third. In Quebec they can’t say the “th” sound so they say turd. How shitty. I’m doing motivational stand up comedy, and that keeps me and many others laughing. I love Martin because he is helping so many of us without pay. That’s how you get happy. Get out there and do good things for people. You have insomnia so you have so much more extra time. I’ve been eating lately with homeless people for free, and in Kelowna B.C. Canada where I live. I’m helping them. They are so lost. We think we have problems. I met a guy named Danny during my daily free supper. He was so happy to be able to share his problems with me in French. I speak 5 languages. Hey, I have the time, so I study. He said he had a problem with women. He went on for about 10 minutes, and he looked so sad. I said are you like my friend George who can’t have an erection. I kept on asking him questions. I told him I don’t have testicles – oh nuts – and I said I have a lover. He was amazed. He finally said and started to cry, “I’m not very handsome” He’s a fine young looking guy too. I told him that’s not what a lot of women want in a man. I’m eating everyday with the homeless, getting free good food and practicing my languages. I talk to myself in Spanish everyday – so much that sometimes I forget the word in English. Because pain taught me so much, I almost never worry anymore. I don’t regret anything, and I’ve learned to “superar los rechazos” which mean I’m able to overcome rejection. That’s a real game changer. Wow!! I don’t think of negative things. I laugh a lot. I’ve never had so many friends. Martin you must have a lot of friends after what you are doing. I’ve started believing in God because  curing all my illnesses must be a miracle. I watch feel good movies. I meet prostitutes at the homeless shelter, and I ask them how much, only 300 an hours they say. I ask them if they kiss their clients and the answer is always no. I lie to them, and say I kiss my clients and only charge them $50.00. Their look is priceless – actually pretty funny. Today is Xmas Feliz Navidad everybody. Did you give any presents. Your presence are my presents. Because of my illnesses that I had I will have a case manager for the rest of my life. She’s almost free from the Canadian gov’t and she helps me with so much. She’s like my accountant and helps me emotionally and mentally. I told her I love her, and I do. She encourages me to travel, so that why I’m in Phoenix Arizona U.S.A. I’m trying to get as much sunshine as I can, because this my help me sleep. I’m also trying C.B.D oil without THC. I’ve been taking it for 3 weeks and it’s not helping yet. My friend who quit smoking pot, and now works in a pot factory says it takes a month or so – so there is hope there. There is hope with the sunshine, and sometime in January I’ll be taking the U Dream again – that’s not hope that’s a sure thing. When there is a will there is a way. In Spanish it’s translated as to want is to be able to. We all have to want to sleep well. And by all means don’t worry about it. My pastor gave out 26 one hundred dollars bill, and he told us that we needed to use the money to make the world a better place, and then talk  about it to everyone in church. I have Netflix and I watch an episode of Highway to Heaven. It’s very uplifting and it helps me sleep. We need more people writing about the highs. Speaking of highs I smoked pot a couple of nights and that really helped, plus I got high. By the way I taught different languages at highschool  I’ve been in Arizona for a while now and guess what I think Trump has insomnia. He only sleeps 4 or 5 hours a night. They keep on talking about him building a wall between Mexico and the U.S. We Canadians are so dam happy that he doesn’t want to build a wall between Canada the states. You know why. There is so much snow that the snow would cover the wall and people would think that it’s just another snow drift. We would wonder why the snow drift was 40 million miles long in one straight line. What can you all do to make others happy. I know you can teach me how to make a question mark with my key board. Do I not like having insomnia. Of course not. But I don’t hate it, because it gives me a chance to help people and get excited. Do you people think that I’m extroverted (question mark) Why yes!! Looks like I’m pulling an all nighter. One night I was unpacking and I lost 5 pounds in one night. I was so busy – 50 boxes. I moved out of the nursing home, and now live with a retired naturalpathic doctor. How exciting. Speaking of excitement. Since I don’t have testicles – but I have ball or guts – I once had a testosterone injection and I had an erection for two days. I was so angry at my dick. I would flick it. That didn’t help. Sex didn’t help either, but that made my sexy wife happy. Guess what finally did it. I’m going to have you guess. We are divorced now because of my dementia, and since I’ve been reading so much, I read that the way to get confidence is to do something that you are afraid of. So I thought of asking my now ex-wife to marry me again. Then I saw her and I realized that she wasn’t happy. I’m happy almost all the time. Now I’m looking for a new wife. I’ll wait for years, because with Livia my lover, and Clare my case manager it’s like I have a wife and getting all my needs met from two different people, and I’m not cheating. How great is that. What do you think I’m going to say about that. That’s right Martin, I’m excited. How am I suppose to sleep after writing this pretty optimistic and silly letter and go to sleep. Tomorrow I will even be sillier, I hope I don’t rape a tobacco plant. That’s not very nice. Let’s all be as nice as possible to each other. Everytime someone sleeps well let’s congratulate them. We need to tell Martin also for doing what he is doing. Since I travel so much maybe I will go visit some of you. Maybe you will can come to Canada and buy some U Dream. Anyone want to go to Costa Rica with me. You now what I’m going to do with the extra $400 a month from getting two meals a day from the homeless shelter. You guessed it. I’m going to buy U Dream. Even though I sleep little, my dreams are positively amazing except once. I took a whole bunch of trytophane and it was just terrible. Where are all you people from. Martin is from Oregon. He’s gone to Oregon. Speaking of Gone which comes from the infinitive “to go” In Canada when we have incredible joy from being with your wife. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m talking about an orgasm. By the way sex really helps with sleep, plus it helps with about 8 other things too like memory. Oh I forgot what I was taking about. Oh ya, a joke. So in Canada when we have an orgasm we use the verb to come, In Japan they use the verb to go. When you say way to go in Japan it takes on a whole new meaning. Also, I lived in Japan for a long time and was born in Canada so, I don’t know if I’m coming or going. I think in Finland they use the verb to finish. That’s very rude. I don’t want to meet men that would say after an orgasmic insomnia relief something so terrible to a woman. Let’s concentrate on the positive. I talk to myself in Spanish everyday and I motivate myself. Let’s motivate each other. Martin has started something really great here and he wants us to sleep better. Guess what. I’m excited again. The title of this should be I’m excited. Do you know how long I’m been writing. Oh my Lord the sun will be getting up soon. Tonight I’ll probably sleep well. It usually happens after pulling an all nighter. In French we say “I passed a white night” Now that’s pretty stupid especially since night is black except for one of our members who spent a summer in the Arctic. Oh, I have some more comedy. It’s sexual. I hope that’s okay, but remember sex can help us. When you have you know that great feeling of increase happy endorphins in English we use the verb “to come” But my question is how do you spell it “to come” or “to cum” Come on, just because we have insomnia doesn’t mean we are stupid we know which one is correct. Actually they are both correct. But if you say “to cum’ then the past tense would be cummed, but the Japanese have an inferiority complex when it comes to pronouncing the past tense so they overdo it and say “I cumt. Chinese does not conjugate verbs. There is no “gone” going or went. My dementia was so bad that I was put on long term disability and got a nice sum of money every month. That’s when I learned Mandarin. I studied it only for two years, but I studied hard. Now I’ve started up again and it’s free at the library. Last time I had me and two teachers, and they were hot. Sorry, I have no paragraphs please forgive me, and forgive yourself. Insomnia is probably not your fault. Tonight I tried something really silly that I was excited about. I started saying the opposite of what I wanted and it made me laugh. Laughter helps with insomnia too. You should have an orgasam and then laugh about it. The would really put you out for a good 10 hours without waking up at two in the morning. The good news about pulling an all nighter is that I don’t wake up at two. I was sitting writing to y’all. In Canada we say you guys. What should I talk about now. Maybe I’ll listen to the song ” I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it. Will someone over the internet please punch we in the face. I don’t think that would make me excited. Martin, help me out here if excitement is causing my insomnia, then tell me how rare is this. Clare, my case manager said she never met anyone who cured themselves from dementia. Let’s write to each other if we have found a cure. We are a family now, and Martin is our dad. We need to respect him- just think how much time he has put into this. Way to go Martin or should I say way to come. We have come a long way. Keep trying. Be positive. Oh I just thought about another thing that helped with my sleeping. I wrote done all the good things in my life and recorded on my cell phone and listened to it before going to bed. That worked pretty well, but if I do it again it won’t be as exciting. We then now I have all figured out – finally after ten years. I should write down the 100 good things in my life and doing it again wouldn’t be exciting. Yes, I’ve solved my problem. Thanks for all the help people -family – dad. I won’t say Good Night I’ll just say Good Morning. In Japanese it’s Ohio. Is anyjone here from Ohio. Tootles Bye

Clare, my case manager said she never met anyone who cured themselves from dementia. Let’s write to each other if we have found a cure. We are a family now, and Martin is our dad. We need to respect him- just think how much time he has put into this. Way to go Martin or should I say way to come. We have come a long way. Keep trying. Be positive. Oh I just thought about another thing that helped with my sleeping. I wrote done all the good things in my life and recorded on my cell phone and listened to it before going to bed. That worked pretty well, but if I do it again it won’t be as exciting. We then now I have all figured out – finally after ten years. I should write down the 100 good things in my life and doing it again wouldn’t be exciting. Yes, I’ve solved my problem. Thanks for all the help people -family – dad. I won’t say Good Night I’ll just say Good Morning. In Japanese it’s Ohio. Is anyjone here from Ohio. Tootles Bye

                        Hey, I’m back. It’s Mike Love again. When I wrote down and recorded on my cell phone about all the good things in my life, I need to explain this. I wrote things like. 1. I’m glad I live in Canada. 2. I’m glad I live in one of the nicest cities in Canada – Kelowna. 3. I’m glad I slept 8 hours straight last week. 4. I’m glad I’m retired, and have a great pension. 4. I’m glad I’m not starving to death. 5. I have faith and hope. 6. I love the internet so that we can have this group. Be creative and if we do this on the topic the highs and lows we will help each other sleep, and we will get to know each other. Let’s be grateful for what we have. If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. Even say things like “I had a good healthy shit this morning. That important for someone one that has somewhat mild digestive problems.

                          I broke my collar bone in Japan about 40 years ago. This is the next thing for me to try – neck messages. Can anyone help me with this.
