People that get a good night's sleep

They probably don’t drink half a fifth of gin right before bed.

Jackasses.

Man, I wake up just about every night around 1AM and have to pee. If I don’t actively try to limit my thoughts for that minute and half, I’ll be up for 2 hours.

I feel your pain.

It comes and goes in spurts. I can go 2 weeks without a full night's sleep averaging about 5 hours of sleep. Finally, the good night of sleep will come and it feels so good.

I've learned that if I don't do something active during the day, usually physical labor around the house, golfing, or other hobbies, I don't sleep very well. Even when I'm tired, I won't go to sleep if I don't stay active during the day.

I find having a routine schedule and decent diet is the best recipe. Cut out caffeine a few years ago as well. Basically go to bed and get up around the same time consistently throughout the week. Sleep a pretty solid 8 hours per night.

Also alcohol is the worst thing for getting good, consistent sleep.

ople that get a good night's sleepby TigerFan0225I got prescribed Trazadone for my sleep issues. I'm Rx the lowest dose which is 50mg but I only take half. I get the best night sleep ever. I wake up a little groggy in the am but goes away pretty quick. It's non addictive.

Tell that to my lab.

Lots to be said for exercising daily. Some weeks I fall off the wagon and it definitely affects my sleep. Otherwise I sleep like as baby for 7 to 8 hours and wake up feeling great

man this hits home right now. For about two weeks now I cant fall asleep until around 1 or 2. Haven't changed any of my habits or schedule. Got to get back to normal soon. 5am comes early....

A good night's sleep is highly underrated and everyone should be serious about trying to attain one. Legitimately makes every facet of your life better with an eight-hour investment

So true.

I normally sleep like a baby by following these rules:

1. No chocolate after 7:00 PM

2. No more than one cocktail at 8:00 PM, usually an Old Fashioned.

3. During the day, I have a cup of decaf coffee in the morning, after that only water or the occasional Diet Grapico. Basically I have almost zero caffeine in my diet.

4. Two melatonin gummies at bedtime.


We normally go to bed about 9:00 or 9:30. I’ll read my book (currently reading “The Guns at Last Light” by Rick Atkinson) until 10:00 when I lay down and go to sleep listening to either Forensics Files on HLN or The First 48 on A&E with a sleep timer set for one hour.

I got prescribed traz a couple of weeks ago, hesitated to take it then when i did a couple times it didn't help. Is it something that takes a few times to kick in or should it work right away
