Topic: I can't sleep because. ...

I hurt my back unloading twenty, 700lb round bales by hand on Saturday. My medication wore off and I keep dreaming I'm writing and trying to incorporate back pain into my MC and it's not working. So I'm writing and erasing, writing and erasing until I wake up in frustration and pain...find a semi comfortable position, go to sleep and repeat. 

Fun night.

Remind me not to  pick a fight with you. On the bright side, they say sleep deprivation creates some fantastic worlds to write about. Good luck. Take care. Vern

They're round....they roll....but it takes a bit to get then moving. Lol!

Don't erase or delete.  Just keep writing

Many years ago, we were driving past a field full of them and one of my nieces (we raised two) yelled out, "Look at all them Jelly Rolls." We've called them that ever since. Take care. Vern

Lol! That's cute! We call them "hell a bays" sometimes.

Re: I can't sleep because. ...

Did you consider using a voice recorder temporarily until you feel better? You can choose whatever is the most comfortable position and still talk a manuscript  into a recorder. When you feel better, you can type it. I used to move furniture --- I owned a small furniture store and did everything myself. I could unload a 20 foot trailer of flat packed, KD sofas and chairs in an hour. Now, I am lucky if I can pick up a sandwich without back pain! You pay now and you pay later when you do more than your back can handle.

Get well quickly!

OH! I can sit and type fine. I just can't sleep well. Yeah...I'm too young for this kind of back pain. Chiropractor helps bunches!!

I swear by my chiropractor. And I can't sleep sometimes because my damned characters keep having conversations in my dreams. Does this happen to anyone else on here?

It used to, but now I just write in a bottle full of sleeping pills and they all go to sleep and let me do the same. Take care. Vern

Re: I can't sleep because. ...

What is causing your back pain? That's the key to understanding the remedy. I've had multiple back problems so I've become a bit of an expert.

Re: I can't sleep because. ...

I don't know. I'm better now. Finally got to the chiropractor.
