First Night without Lunesta Sucks!

[billfred]

Life is not worth living w/o that morning cup of joe...I look foward to that when I go to bed

I hear you but it just esculates for me. Next thing you know I need another one around 10 am and then after lunch and then I have to have one around 5 pm or I am going to fall asleep around 7 pm. Walking around sleepy with a caffiene headache all day.

Finally I just have to go cold turkey to get it all out of my system and always feel better once I do. I can see how drug addicts get so messed up.

yeah...I drink it all morning pretty much. Good luck kicking the habit. When I was pregnant I did limit it to one measured cup a day..moderation is good with all things..even coffee

I have two cups in a day and I'm whirling like a top, seriously.

I have one cup, once in a while, doesn't wake me up so much as make me move a little faster (probably partly due to the fact I abused caffeine, ephedra and other diet stimulants for nearly 20 years).

I am on day 5 with no coffee so I pretty much have it out of my system. If I get one good night sleep, I will be good to go. Part of the problem I am kicking coffee and doing a bit of jet lag (5 hr time difference) at the same time.

Probably not a good mix.

my teeth are beautiful...the hygenist always asks me if i've been using whitestrips because they're so dang pearly...and, i only have one cavity...in a wisdom tooth that had a soft center...had it filled when i was like 22-ish...haven't had one before or since.

and, adrenal glands? i'm 46 y/o and i sit behind a desk all day...do i even need those??

I sleep 9 hours every night.
I really need it to function properly and be in a good state of mind.
My old job gave me little sleep, working on someone else's schedule always got to me.

Here's the other killer for me. If I doze-off for a 20ish minute nap, I wake up feeling great and can go like mad for at least another six hours.

That really sucks if I do one of those catnaps around 6:30-7:30 at night.
