Hey, girl.
I don't need that much sleep, now. I sleep like a sorta tired normal person: about 7 or 8 hours a night. I've started taking liquid sublingual Melatonin at night and it really helps. I was also taking liquid Valarian for awhile, but since I'm trying to get pregnant I decided to stop that one.
Sounds like your fibro is getting under control if you're so busy.... you weren't able to do much of that kind of thing for so long. That sounds like good news!

A wedding AND baby plans. How cool is that? 
I'm going to give the Melatonin a try...my body clock's gone haywire atm: last night I finally got some energy at 10pm when I was trying to go to bed!

i HATE that!
if i stay up too late, that happens to me, too. when i used both Melatonin and Valarian, i was out like a LIGHT no matter what. i think it's decent restorative sleep, too.
listen, i don't know what's up with you and Simon, since it's been so long since i've been online, but there are questions about using Melatonin when pregnant, too. i'm risking it during the "trying" phase, but will probably give it up when I get pregnant... just FYI.
Smooches, Linzy!

We were talking about melatonin in my chronoengineering class last week (it's an awesome class about biological rhythms, it's my prof's area of expertise). He said that prolonged melatonin use can lead to an increased risk in autoimmune disorders, so be careful and informed, ladies! Occasional use he said should be ok.

Folks tend to think supplements are all ok for longterm use, and I've NEVER seen this about melatonin! Thanks for the heads-up because my husband already has a chronic health problem that an autoimmune problem would devastate! He just started using melatonin, so I'll tell him to go a bit slower on it!
Bad part is, one of the worst side effects of his daily meds is insomnia - which he already had to start with!! ARRRGGGG!! Medicine!!! Can't live with it, can't live without it!

This out-of-sync thing is totally new for me so hopefully a few days of melatonin will get me back on track.  The most annoying thing is, for the first time today I'm raring to go and could get loads done...but I've gotta go to bed or I can't get my zzz's! Maybe I'll push bedtime just this once.

No-one else does that! Well, cept for my best friend that I hardly ever see but when I do she smooches me for real.
I'd love to hear from you and catch up if you've got time for email...but no fuss if ya rushed off your feet atm. All that baby-making is time-consuming!
PS. Do you let your dogs in the bedroom? We need an extra crate to stop Archie getting curious!
