Too early for being all this riled up so I skipped most of everything on the other sleep thread.

I just wanted to say that I take a combo of Melatonin, Zinc, and Magnesium to help me get a good nights sleep.

Ive been working crazy hours. 3 days a week 3am-11am and 2 days 11am - 7pm. Once I get adjusted to one schedule it is time to change so I really havent been sleeping since Christmas. I kept asking my boss to put me on a more consistent schedule and he kept saying that he would. Finally, I found another bakery that will let me work 7am-4pm. I hate to leave where I am but it is not worth my sanity. My last day is today and it ends a 14 straight day work-a-thon. SOOOO tired.

I had terrible acid indigestion last night. Getting old stinks.. Use to be I could eat anything, drink gallons of coffee.... Nothing bothered me. Now I'm up taking Zantac like my mother in the middle of the night.


Good luck in your new job.

Thanks! I thought I was having a heart attack the other day at work. It was about 5am and I had been running around like a nut-job trying to get everything done. About 25oz of coffee later I started to feel a pain in my neck. I put my hand where the pain was and felt my carotid artery pounding. I got nausea and light headed. Needless to say that scared the crap out of me and I thought for a second I was going to die on that tacky concrete floor. By tacky, I mean sticky.

I probably should have gone to the doctor or something but instead I got off of work and ran a mile at Sweetwater Creek:

Hey, Lea - you might have had a problem with low blood sugar. You need to keep fueled up if you are crazy busy. Caffeine + low blood sugar can = pounding HR. (Happens to me when I wake up very early and drink a strong coffee before running. I counter it with a banana.) Take care of yourself, lady
