Insomnia

I have been having another bought of insomnia So here I am on the board at 3:52 a.m. It's weird. I fall asleep OK but then the littelest noise wakes me up And then I can't fall back to sleep to save my life This has been going on for about 2 weeks now and if I don't get a good nights sleep soon I'll just I even tried Nyquil but it just made me loopy Any ideas my friends? Regards and hugs Ronna

Insomnia is the pits. I used to be the same way, but it rarely happens now. Maybe it will stop soon. Sleep on! Karla

Hey Ronna, Why don't you try a fifth of whiskey Seriously, I get where I can't sleep and it just sucks. I usually jus****ch TV. For me I think it is b/c my mind never stops or even slows down. TV helps to "clear my mind" by watching the show and trying to only think about that. Happy Sleeping! GOd BLess! Jen

That's exactly what I did. The TV is in the same room as my computer and thankfully there was something good on last nightl I watched "The King and I" with Debra Kerr and Yul Brenner. One of my favorites But I think I still would have preferred to sleep

Hey Ronna, You are not the only one. I am the same way except I cant even get to sleep to wake back up. I went to bed this morning around 3:45. I TRY so hard to make myself go to sleep early but I just toss and turn. If you find something that works, let me know. I would LOVE to have a good night's sleep. I've been going through this for about 5 months. Kay

WOW 5 months.....I would be dragging my but around Have you tried Nyquil? That does work for me when I take right before I go to bed. If that doesn't work you should talk to your doctor. That's a really long time to not be sleeping.

I work from home so if I need to take a nap, I just lay for a couple of hours. I really would like to get on a better sleep routine. I guess I've gotten use to it. I haven't tried Nyquil but tonight, I will Tylenol PM's do work for me but I learned that I'm allergic to Tylenol so I had to stop that. My next Dr. appointment, I will mention it to her. Good luck with sleeping tonight! I hope you rest well!! Kay

Well I took Nyquil last night. First time in about 3 months and boy did it knock me out I sleep almost 5 hours straight Got up to go potty and then fell right back to sleep and didn't wake up until almost 8:00 But boy did it knock me out I think next time I'll only use 1/2 a dose

Hey, I'm happy you got a good night's sleep last night. I took a half a dose around 12:30 and fell asleep at 1 am. I sleept til 10:30 this morning. For me, thats a GOOD night's sleep. Yeah for nyquil!! Kay

That's great Kay. Doesn't feel good to get some sleep?
