Its a bitch. Ambien works for me. Sometimes I just go with Nyquill.
last night i had to sleep sitting upright…made it 3 hours. never watched local tv morning shows before. had no idea what number of infomercials there were after 1 am. And Im not sure the ergonomics of an ass wipe wearing this damn arm sling.

Just go to work with your lotion and the 1992s. You'll collapse eventually.

just this week I've been having problems with waking up at 2 or 3 and not being able to go back to sleep. this shit ain't fair man. I guess this is typical as you age (I'm pushing 50)? makes no ****ing sense. tonight I think I'll throw back a couple tylenol PM's. that shit works. I just wouldn't want to have to do that every dang night!

Recently I asked my doctor to make a switch. I've been on 50mg of trazadone for sleep, and it works wonders. |

Dayze..what's your age?
I went through a stint of Insomnia in my late 30's. It went away. Did drive me crazy though. I took some steps to help. Never go to bed with the TV Don't drink Alcohol or caffeinated beverages Make sure you are all sexed out. Don't fight it. If you cant sleep just get up and read till sleepy |

When I can't sleep I take some Melatonin. It's natural, safe, and usually does the trick in about 30 minutes. Get it at the vitamin aisle.
Or I let Tom Waits sing me to sleep: Last edited by gblowfish; 07-16-2014 at 11:25 AM.. |

Just take some more Adderal and say goodbye to sleep and hello to Tyler Durden.

Get some of the ole childhood fairy tale books out. And/or have some warm milk before bed.That'll conk you out. Or try some melatonin but don't take it too often. Or drink this raspberry calcium-magnesium drink. Has to be both calcium and magnesium not one or the other. I gotta get more and forget the name of the raspberry one as it's the only one that tastes decent. Don't take the tablets on this supplement as they don't get into your system as fast. Or take a good long hard walk until you feel tired, each night before retiring. Look around you as you walk and get attention off anything mental.
Sounds like you're deficient in something or have stress. Those fairy tales do it for me, especially the Little Mermaid. I feel like I am sinking under water or floating. |

Yes it works, but it's not good to get dependent on it. I only use it as a final resort and just very once-in-a-while. Dependency makes your body by-pass things it should not. Also, if I take it on a night before I have to be active, it makes me lazy and not want to do anything.

Yes don't eat before retiring. That's good advice too.
If light bothers you at dawn, get an eye mask. I use that when I travel as the light shines through the spaces in the hotel curtains. |

I work the night shift and often find myself not sleeping until the weekend. I took an imodium 3 hours ago... It was like swinging a wiffle ball bat at a speeding tractor-trailer

That's odd. While it's more likely to gain weight it's always helped me sleep...
