The best part of using pot to sleep is, if you still can't sleep you don't really care.

I've been suffering from insomnia for several months. The only thing that helps me is pills. I should say, I read info about them on Canadian pharmacy and found out that they can be dangerous. So, I'm looking for the alternative way of treatment. Of course, I want to start with cbd products as I heard they can be really helpful.

No caffeine after midday will fix a lot of sleep problems, unless you have a condition

We had a middle aged woman the other night at Amazon suffer a massive anxiety attack. Paramedics had to be called to the building. She had been drinking a ton of dark roast coffee prior to the attack. She's had them before. -Dehydration -Anxiety -Restlessness -Sweating -Palpitations -Insomnia While coffee is moderation is OK for most people, many suffer issues when the levels jump in their system and too much is bad for most people.

I had a thread earlier on sleep apnea. Long story short, I'm not that old and not in horrible shape, but I've got severe apnea.
I couldn't do the on-prem sleep study because of the covid bullshit, but my o2 levels from an at-home oximeter test were bad enough while sleeping for them to simply send me home with an "insurance approved" o2 contraption. it confirmed that my sleep o2 levels were really bad, so they skipped waiting for the on-prem sleep study and ordered a cpap. I've had it for about a month now. I still fight it a little a night. Not that I'm aware I do, but I started out with a nasal pillow and I think when I get into deep sleep I sometimes still try to breath out my mouth. So with that thing shoveling air down my windpipe, when I apparently try to breathe through my mouth, it doesn't work so well. My o2 levels look much better now, although you can clearly see the times when I try to breathe through my mouth. Honestly, if you haven't done so, I would say get an appt with a good respiratory clinic, and/or get a referral to a pulmonologist. The cpap was kind of pricey, but I feel quite a bit better already and I'm not nearly as exhausted come late afternoons. I'm hoping now that I'm patched back up (I had shoulder surgery a while ago, and rehab took forever, just because). But the shoulder is solid again and I can do stuff finally without worry. I'm hoping I can get back to lifting or anything that might burn off 10-20 pounds. I think that will help me a bunch as well. But I highly recommend seeing a decent sleep center. they could make life a lot better with some pretty simple things actually. |

I sleep fine except on rare occasion. It may take more than 5 minutes sometimes. I can even sleep with coffee late afternoon or evening—most of the time. But I just can't sleep anywhere, like a car, or plane or things in motion. I have trouble my first night in a hotel room when it's a. business trip because I have anxiety about something going wrong on the first day following a flight. I need ear plugs in a hotel and an eye mask if there's an light post streaking in through the curtains fooling me if it's morning. And I can't have coffee in the late afternoon or evening on a business trip.

Being an insomniac, I tried many ways to fix the problem. Of course, I can always take pills, but I don't think that this is the best way out. About a month ago my husband presented me with one of those great sleep recliners (and I love him for that!). It comes with an ottoman and it is very comfortable. But its biggest advantage is that I can fall asleep in it and take a nap. Also, I want to thank everyone for the good advice. I'll try to avoid using electronics before bed, I guess it might help.

I flew back from Dallas once and we had to land between two supercell thunderstorms. It's was like a straight nosedive into the airport. Everybody around me was freaking out and I was alternating between giggling and passing out. |

I've have pretty bad sleep anxiety whole adult life. I'm going to speak to a physiatrist about it next month. We'll see!

My first cousin has had sleep and insomnia issues his entire adult life. I can't even imagine not being able to sleep.
Sorry for anyone here dealing with that.

My wife falls asleep instantly but will wake up and not be able to go back to sleep. Me on the other hand it takes like a half hour to an hour but then I'm good.
