I used to put the soccer channel on. The slow pace of play and no commercials used to put me to sleep. Soccer started growing on me though. Had to change to something else.

I take some melatonin

And if I fall asleep before midnight I'm more than likely going to wake up during the night and not be able to fall asleep

ZZZquil is Benadryl

It absolutely doesn't make me sleep. It doesn't even make me tired

Then you legit might have an issue. Not fricking with you or anything. That is pretty intense. I take about a dose and a half and my shite is out.

Ambian is my go-to drug. My problem is falling asleep, not waking up during the night. (Well, only after diagnosed with apnea and sleeping with a CPAP.)

Psychologically, I may be getting hooked on Ambian as I know I can fall asleep if I take it, while it may be a crap shoot if I don't. I wake up feeling better on nights I take an Ambian too.

Class 4 narcotic, though.

Your dopamine isn't regulated. That's what's causing your sleep issues.

Also try telling yourself you don't care if you go to sleep.. Meditate. You will fall asleep.

Maybe you need some D. Usually that's what women need.

Like a month ago this chick came home from the bar with me and told me she either needed to be fricked to sleep or smoke weed until she fell asleep so as a joke I went and got her my bong and a blanket for the couch!

I have a no fail way to go to sleep.

Get a book on tape and some ear buds and put it on real low. Listen to it while you are in bed and you will be out in minutes.

It works for me every time. You will wake up a few hours later to remove the ear buds but it puts you to sleep immediately.

The trick is to distract your mind and interrupt your thoughts. A book on tape does that and you go out like a light.

I've had problems for years with staying asleep, but I've been taking ZMA before bed every night and it really keeps me asleep. better than anything I've ever used. plus it gives you intense dreams.

the dreams may just be because I never slept long enough before to dream and now I am, but who knows.

Normally I would agree with you but this one was a little weird!
