I seldom have trouble but when I do it's just a question of taking a couple of strong anti-histamines (Pro-methazine) or sex. ------------------ | ||

I have had a major problem with insomnia for the past 10 years. I have a tendency of going through cycles -- I will sleep on average about 2 - 3 hours per night for about 4-6 months and then I will sleep well for about 30-45 days. The cycle then repeats. I have not tried sleeping pills -- I don't want to go down that road -- but I have found that Valarien Root helps me. When I start falling into my insomnia problem, I pop 2-3 pills before bed. It helps me regulate my sleep patterns again. I may not sleep the whole night through, but it will help me get a few more hours. ------------------ No matter how hard you work, there is always someone working harder. | ||

Ive been battlling with this also - The fat burners dont help either! One - Tylenol PM works fine for me, but If I dont take anything, I toss and turn all night...Its so aggravating! | ||

sound like overtraining or bad diet. Lack of sleep is a major sign of overtraining. ------------------ | ||

scott825, the baggy eyes and dark circles - that is how I always look. no matter how much I sleep, I'm still tired. sucks. careful of that trazadone - I used that in high school and then quit it while in college - you have to be very careful when coming off of it, it is some nasty shit. ------------------ | ||

I agree, very frustrating. I'm currently using 6mg Melatonin 30min before bed. Works pretty well, though sometimes I wake up at 3-4am. I wouldn't touch Xanax. One of my friends mother is on Xanax and over time it's really made her loopy. She's totally addicted to the stuff. | ||

Very true,,,Thats why you have to take something that will treat the underlying problem.Melatonin does not do much for us true insomniacs but if it works for you then good. ------------------ BROS BEFORE HO'S | ||

I too have the insomnia problem.. I can't sleep for shit... For the last year my doc prescribed me Xanax (1mg) and told me to take 1/2 a tab before bed... That knocked me out cold and I felt great the next day...after a while though.. 1/2 tab (and a few beers..not a good combo) didn't put me to sleep..so I took 1 tab at night...Then in the mornings and for part of the day I would feel kinda hazy...a few times I got so desperate that I took 2 tabs.... My prescription ran out in December and I haven't taken any since.. I didn't feel like I was addicted to them..but I didn't want to take the chance and become addicted to them..Now I just toss and turn at night.... ho hum ------------------ "You and I are getting in the Lifeboat..Father will be staying here a while..

Scott, I have that problem for about the first two weeks, but then it pretty much goes away. I think my body adjusts to the lack of sleep and learns how to function on the amount it is getting. I don't fall back into a normal sleep pattern until I am absolutely exhausted. ------------------ No matter how hard you work, there is always someone working harder. | ||

I will not go to a doctor or take drugs to cure this. Sometimes I drink a couple beers around 1AM and by 2-2:30AM and will be in bed. Then I sleep good. This may sound weird but if I switch which end of the bed my head rests on I can sleep better. I don't know how to explain that but it worked for me for like 10 years. I also have lots of weird dreams that wake me up at night. I know I need to stop taking naps in the day but I really can't help falling asleep in the afternoon. Today I will refuse to nap at all costs. Maybe this will help. | ||

melatonin gives me some wacked out dreams. i still take it though. i like a couple of bong hits or a cap of ghb. problem is, as soon as i feel buzzed i want to stay up and do things to enjoy my high, so i end up going to bed late anyway. | ||

I didn't nap at all during the day today and now I still can't sleep. I also didn't drink or go out tonight. If I would have drank I would be able to sleep now. I have to get up early too. fuck. | ||

I used to take some valerian root with some hops and I believe skullcap in a cap form. I would take about 6 caps and it does help. Real natural sleep, without the chemical hangover. I now use halcion .25 mg one to 2 tabs works fine and does not build a fast tolerance like other benzodiazepan derivitives, like xanax, valium and so on. This is my experience, you might find a herb shop in your area and see if they might have a blend of herbs that will help. Good luck and get a goodnights sleep. I am addicted to 8 to 10 hours and relish it when I can without waking up during the night. | ||

Screw all that herbal shit, get yourself some Ambien (by prescription only) and you'll sleep a good eight hours with very little to no residual AM sleepiness (like the feeling some people get from Tylenol PM, etc). Try an initial dose of only half a tablet, works wonders for me. I've been an insomniac for over ten years and I've tried everything, this stuff really works, My .02 |
