re: Does anyone here have sleeping issues? How do you deal with them?

I've suffered from insomnia for years. The only thing that has worked with any consistency is Ambien. But of course everyone will tell you it's the devil and soooooooo addictive....you know what else is addictive...sleep. I understand after 72 strait hours or more all you want to do is close your eyes and let the world fall away.

Please go see a doctor and have some sleep studies done. Try these suggestions that people have said and you have to give some time to work...like weeks..not days.

The only thing I would say to do for sure is this.

1. The bed is for sleep only. Your body will start to learn to relax when you lay in the bed.

2. Kill any stimulants at least 30 min before bed. No TV, Netflix, hell if reading gets you stimulated, stop it.

3. Dont drink after a certain time. If I ever had to get up to go pee it was like resetting a clock and it takes hours for me.

4.If meds work, Dont take more than prescribed. It doesnt work that way with sleep meds. They work or they dont.

5. Good Luck, I truly hope you find some answers.
