Having insomnia . Anyone else.

Yea I'm

Always up. Lol I slept 10s In the last 4 days

YES. Never fails. My anxiety also picks up at night, kind of a viscous cycle.

Have had a life time of it too, surgery gave me a 2 hour 6 per 3 day sleep patterns for weeks, now back to 4 at a time, Zzzzzzzzzzz, Zzzzzzzzzzzz,Mmmmmmmm.

remedies ?

Work out more...that always puts me to sleep. If I really want to sleep I take a Benadryl....knocks me out every time....lol

I just got melatonin from the drs .. It's the hormone our body produces for sleep - I've fallen asleep much better in the last 2 days - but still wake up a few times during the night. It will take a few days to build up I'm told ????

You can get melatonin from cvs, Walgreens and Sams Club, 5-10mg, it is sublingual and works well!! My pediatrician suggested 5mg for my son who stays up late amd 10 mg works great for me!!

I live in New Zealand and we don't have those stores lol ... Ill have to look into if we can buy over the counter?? .. I took 2 x 2mg ones - I didn't know we could take up to 10! That's good to know lol

my latest thing is this,

http://www.imperialt...leep_Tight.html

need a tea cup and infuser because its loose leaf though,

pills some times work, some times give me way bad morning head ache and then also can give a nasty hang over drudgery into the morning. Again some times my body simply just seems to soak these things up, may even generate a reverse effect or just none. The tea is very relaxing physically and puts me to sleep, used it a few times then the effects were not imediate but just that after a couple hours it did work. Tea works for now, I have ambien in my med cabinet, seldom reach for it though, I tend to ride it out instead.

also agree, exercise does change things and also a hot bath is good just before bed time is coming around.

Dr, Oz show reveiled that a study said good eaters sleep better, poor eaters do not, me thinks he hadn't enough people in research with true disorders, this virtual hell has been never ending, but truth is I am most times so very used to it any way. Ahh, Dr.Oz may be a quackadoodle or not, some times it's still interesting to me to see whats on that show so I record it and I agree with the healthy eating is a hot topic worth investing in to make good changes with possitive result.

Lots luck catching up on sleep, things can be so much better rested after the surgery.

I have definately noticed I have been getting less sleep with the pre-op diet. I asked my doctor and he said now that I am exercising I am getting a better quality of sleep, so I do not need as much.

My surgeon swears not related to surgery but about 2 weeks after it hit me too! It's terrible! I'm going to try melatonin tonight

I have no trouble falling asleep..but I find I wake up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

Or it could be all the sex crazed dreams I have been having because of this massive estrogen dump.

Same issue here but I have used melatonin before and it gave me very bad nightmares.

I'm up all night too now
