I CAN'T SLEEP! *Grrrr*The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

i got Ambien and while it does make me fall asleep and stay asleep it also leaves me brain dead in the morning.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

Ahh. I use this tactic on a regular basis (without a prescription, lol). I dunno. It doesn't hurt, but it really doesn't help either. Not unless I am also drunk, lol.prism said:

Picked up some herbal sleep pills today. I tried all those things years ago & didn't find they worked but hell it was years ago & there's new things out there now + I'm a lot older etc so see if they work now. It says take 2 1/2 an hour before bed & take one more if you wake in the night so sounds worth a go. Boss at work was lovely to me again today - "thank-you morello(she used my real name of course)" "well done morello" & I just thought WTF!?!?!? This is what she'd been like all the time until she spat the fucking dummy at me last week. Wow! Talk about 2 faced flip flopping!
Ok, here's to a good herbally aided sleep tonight.

3.00 am now and I can´t sleep ! Will be a long day and I have to start at 7:00am :-<0

So, I slept like a log 10-4 the other night then took another of the pills like the packet suggested but no luck. I got back to sleep at about 6 I think, just in time for my alarm at 6:20. >:P<hr>

Mannnnnn I had such a good night last night. 7 hours with only one interruption. And tonite it's like "...... nope!"
Don't wanna do an Ambien cuz I'll be a zombie until halfway through the day. Don't wanna do an herbal cuz I'm afraid I'll oversleep.

I've been playing the new Sims game & there's a feature you can earn called neverwary or something like that which makes your Sim not require sleep.

When i was pregnant i used to listen to one of those relaxing cd:s.
This calm voice made me feel so relaxed that I fell asleep earlier and earlier for every time lol.
Anyone else tried this? (You can probably borrow these at the library.)Post edited by Annafalk on0 -
Yes, this can help. I actually have a CD with ocean waves and the sounds of sailing on it, as well as a sound machine that has rainfall, a heartbeat, waves, and I think the jungle. It does make a difference. I also find that a fan helps, because of the fresh air feeling plus the noise.Annafalk said:When i was pregnant i used to listen to one of those relaxing cd:s.

I can't do headphones. Makes me paranoid. I end up taking them off every 5 seconds cuz i think I heard something which turns out to be nothing. A friend has promised to supply me with some concoction called DreamWater which is just Melatonin and two other herbal-ish things in beverage form. I'll report back here if/when I try it.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

Yeah, no headphones because I'd never hear my alarm in the morning. I just have to blast it. Not great if you've got a partner who's not into it!ldent42 said:I can't do headphones. Makes me paranoid.

I've slept for years with ear plugs because I tend to be a very light sleeper and if I'm woken up by noise in the night I may be awake for hours. In fact, as strange as it may sound, I have custom earplugs (made by an audiologist) that are super comfortable. I feel like I'm in a quiet little cocoon. This won't work for people who are freaked out if they can't hear what's around them, but it works for me.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

Do you have a dog ? What if somebody breaks in while your sleeping? sorry to sound like a downing but was just wonderinoftenreading said:I've slept for years with ear plugs because I tend to be a very light sleeper and if I'm woken up by noise in the night I may be awake for hours.

Yeah, there are definitely safety issues with that. Fire is the thing that came to my mind. Would hate for anyone to sleep too long during a house fire because of earplugs!JWPearl said:
