Thomas H. Chapin IV Musings and General Nonsense

30Aug/059

Long Day. Sleepless Nights.

I don't know what it is, but I seem utterly incapable of getting a good night's rest lately. No matter what I do, I can't get comfortable. I just toss and turn all night.

I have narrowed the problem down to my pillow. However, I have tried at least 10 different types of pillows to no avail. I've tried everything from those tempur-pedic pillows (space age foam) to a $100 down feather pillow with a tempur-pedic core. I even went to wal-mart and bought 4 different pillows (one of each type). Not one of them felt right so I took them all back. So after all that trouble I'm still using the exact same pillow that I've been sleeping with for the past year.

My neck muscles are in knots.

  1. Hope that you find a pillow that works it may take a little time to look. I will help ya if you want.

  2. THat sucks.. my problem used to be the mattress..I have a really expensive nice pillow top now and I absolutely love it..sleep is awesome..i have really cool dreams too usually..

  3. If you continue to have trouble…

    Well, I know you don’t want to hear this, but it could be that you are allergic to the pillow/bed/etc.

    If you’d like info. on where to find a truly non-allerginic pillow, let me know.

    BTW, how is your stomach?

    I love you~!

    Mom xoxoxo

  4. I get a lower-back-of-the-head-ache when I don’t drink enough water. I think I’m addicted to that stuff.

  5. yeah I used to be really bad about not drinking water but now I always make sure that I have a full glass at my desk at work.

    I must drink like 10 glasses of water a day. It’s crazy.

  6. Yeah I get headaches from not drinking enough water too. It’s amazing how you can train your body to be so reliant on water, huh? Although I guess it’s not really training… it’s more going with the way God naturally made you!!

    Anywayz… back to the original subject: Hope you get your problems sorted out Tommy. Not sleeping at night is really rough!

  7. Thanks for the comments everyone…

    I actually managed to get a good night’s rest last night but it required the temporary assistance of two Tylenol PM tablets.

    I’m still working on a permanent solution.

  8. Are you sure you’re not just thinking about it too much?

    I always feel uncomfortable whenever I think about it.

    But anyways… hope you feel better soon.

  9. i have that problem too…
