I hope your carpal tunnel gets better soon, Uly – I wanted to see if you'd draw an insomnia sketch or comic strip for us to promote on the blog.
Here's to your hospital stay being a short one, Yam.
Good times:
Knowing Yam is enjoying his Cheetos (I had to pull the ones from right at the back of the shelf to get the freshest packets)
The sun is shining in Oregon
I planted some jalapeno and anaheim chili plants. Can't wait for them to fruit!
Bad times:
Season 6 of Weeds not being on Netflix instant play. Annoying waiting for each Disc to arrive!
Having to deal with this pile of bills stacking up on my desk!

It's not down to me; it's down to our members.
This community will fail without the support and involvement of its members – so thank YOU!

I'd love to hold another one – the challenge is getting enough people to agree on a specific time, and to commit to turning up. We should get the ball rolling again, though.

It would be great if you could drop by the thread started by sleepy lies about CFS and offer her some support/advice:

Wow, that was a long letter! Did you plan on it being so long when you started out?
I always admire people that actually take action rather than complain. Too many people grumble but don't do anything about it. You're trying to hold politics to account, and that is admirable.
Do you have any plans on writing to Nick Clegg? Didn't he 'sell out' supporters of his party more than Cameron did?

Good luck with keeping that title with Yam around – you'll have to arm wrestle to decide who is the biggest and best amateur film bug at Insomnia Land 😉

That's great news – all those letters paid off! What is the drug you're hoping to try? Did you discuss any solutions that don't involve medication?

Did you come across our blog post about the difference between insomnia and sleep phase disorder? It might be of help:

Your novel sounds really interesting. Maybe you can treat us all to an excerpt as it approaches being finished? LindsayK is a published author, but she's gone AWOL of late. Hopefully she'll drop by soon as I think you'd both have a lot in common. Also, Kik often gets involved in NaNoWriMo – hopefully she'll submit some more pieces here in the future.
xabalba also submitted some great poems. Wow, the list goes on. I think we need to resurrect this forum from the ashes – I'll give it a shot my end by writing something for the next insomniac bulletin!

We're a small but close community, so of course I wanted to take a look at your blog!
We have a wide range of members, from hardcore insomniacs to those who struggle from time to time. All are welcome, and are encouraged to get involved.
Good luck rekindling the writer's corner. Maybe we should rename it to an arts corner and encourage sketches, etc, too? What do you think?

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Nara. I'll send out your question in the next insomniac bulletin to see if any of our other members have sleep phase disorder, or are able to offer you any tips or advice.
Have you been diagnosed with SPD, or is it something you've figured out by yourself? How long have you been struggling with sleep?

Hi Uly
Firstly, welcome to Insomnia Land and thank you for introducing yourself. Please don't apologize for the length of your introduction – it was perfect, and was just how we like introductions to be; it helps us really get to know every new member. Your profile is great, too! Thank you.
I love the artwork on your website – it's fantastic. Oh, and hopefully we'll see the Insomnia Land blog in your next Google Reader post 😉
Baron has a blog where he sketches some comic strips. You might get a kick out of it:
There's no brand new stuff there at the moment due to a computer failure, but the archives are good!
We have members here who suffer with cyclical insomnia, and others who just can't get any sleep – so you are not alone. I am glad you dragged yourself over here, and I look forward to getting to know you better and reading more of your posts in the future.
This is something new for you, so if you need any help using the site or have any questions, just drop me a line – you have my email address, or you can click the envelope icon under my name to send me a personal message.
'Dozydame' wrote on '16:Hi Uly and Welcome. Thanks for sharing so much about yourself. I hope you find some useful and helpful information contained in these pages. I look forward to your future contributions to the forum.
When I joined this group, I had never met another insomniac so didn't know if there were any common links between sufferers. However the more I read from the members here, it appears to me that intelligent, creative thinkers are more prone to insomnia. I suppose it makes sense that your mind will be more active and your imagination more easily stimulated if you fall into this category.
I don't know if this observation is in any way useful in the eternal quest for a few decent nights sleep, but maybe knowing you're smart enough to be an insomniac is some kind of “consolation prize”! Hehe.
What do you think??? Martin? Anyone??
I definitely think there's something to this, Dozydame – I even mentioned it on the blog in early March:
http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/insomnia-and-the-creative-mind/
It's one of the reasons why we started the Writer's Corner here at Insomnia Land. Normally, such a small community doesn't warrant an additional forum category, but it worked here. Having said that though, it's been rather quiet in there lately. Writer's block perhaps?
That being said, now we have Uly on board, maybe we should make it a general 'Art' corner so members can also submit pictures and sketches?

Ugh, sorry to hear of the sleepless night. The frustration is only intensified when mixed with the resentment of a partner sleeping like a baby!
What's been going on this week? You might want to take a look at our blog for tips on clearing the mind. Here are a few posts that spring to mind:

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Cindy.
How long have you had insomnia for? Is this the first time you've found a doctor willing to help you discover the cause of your insomnia? That's quite a waiting list you're on, but hopefully it will be worth it!
One of our members reviewed a sleep therapy product for our blog a while ago:
