It finally came

Well the rebate actually came a couple days ago... $20 in the bank. Its not a lot but at least I showed some people at D-link's rebate center that they can't promise to send money and never do it. I'd say it was worth the effort.

I hate insomnia

I've never experienced it myself directly, quite the opposite actually. I usually can fall asleep in about 5 minutes if I'm really tired. But I might as well be experiencing it myself.

Leanne has insomnia and it tears me apart. Not the lack of sleep itself but what it does to her when she's awake. It takes a huge toll on her both mentally and physically. She wants to sleep so badly but she can't... and both of us feel completely helpless to fix the problem. I long for a day when I can say "How did you sleep last night?" and she'd say "I slept great!". I think that's only happened once or twice since I've known her.

Lack of sleep really takes a bite out of your immune system, so she always gets sick when she gets a run of insomnia. That just makes things worse because she can't sleep even more if she's sneezing or coughing.

She's tried many different things to help her sleep like the tips found here. But nothing works. Its like her body is revolting against her. Even with sleep medications they work for about 2 weeks then her body becomes immune to them. It's frustrating beyond anything I've ever experienced. I feel so helpless.
