You can imagine that I am a bit tired and have a hard time readjusting most days. Either I want to sleep all day or I can't sleep at night as I regroup during the week. This last week I bought a sleep mask though through dreamessentials.com and it's been helpful to drift off into slumberland. It's also helpful to have a prescription for Ambien on the nights I just can't unwind.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374664140537825841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-22254399367644050592008-04-10T12:43:00.000-05:002008-04-10T12:43:00.000-05:00I struggle with insomnia too.

I have a tough time <I>getting</I> to sleep, and once I get to sleep, if I wake up to go to the bathroom (which I do), I can't <I>get back</I> to sleep.<BR/><BR/>My doctor told me to try taking 2 or 3 benadryl to get to sleep. It works, but I would still wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep.<BR/><BR/>I mentioned this to a friend who has a degree in homeopathic stuff (not sure what it is), but whe recommended trying Valerian.<BR/><BR/>It works like a charm at <I>keeping</I> me asleep, and it is all natural!<BR/><BR/>I get mine at Vitacost, and it is called "<A HREF="http://www.vitacost.com/Futurebiotics-Relax-Sleep?csrc=PPCADWLT-relax_and_sleep&s_kwcid=relax%20and%20sleep%7C541473371" REL="nofollow">Relax & Sleep</A><BR/>" -- I take two at bed time along with my 2 Benadryl, and voila. I sleep through the night. Thank the Lord!<BR/><BR/>If you try this, I hope it works for you, too. I should do a WFMW on this!! I didn't realize so many people suffered from Insomnia, too!GiBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717697386035335817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-52903030840271030682008-04-10T12:31:00.000-05:002008-04-10T12:31:00.000-05:00Ewww, insomnia.

That's why I knocked myself out with Tylenol PM last night & didn't even hear the storm that blew down all of our big trees!<BR/><BR/>I hope you get sleep soon!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603024011098153161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-74480402590662495002008-04-10T10:25:00.000-05:002008-04-10T10:25:00.000-05:00LOL u are so silly!

I shudder to think of what will happen when we set a date and I have to share my bed with someone. Because if someone is sleeping with me, I'm not sleeping AT ALL.Rosheedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002542613862664049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-6802668883893337392008-04-10T09:58:00.000-05:002008-04-10T09:58:00.000-05:00Don't laugh but I banished Insomnia by welcoming h...Don't laugh but I banished Insomnia by welcoming her in and deciding it was time to write new scenes in my head. Once I looked forward to her visits, she left. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, my nighttime productivity dropped, too. It's a worthwhile exchange, I think. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there!Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-37711320052787373952008-04-10T08:55:00.000-05:002008-04-10T08:55:00.000-05:00Thanks!Thanks!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865645292824953080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-48773259050370717622008-04-10T08:10:00.000-05:002008-04-10T08:10:00.000-05:00I hope things get better for you soon.I hope things get better for you soon.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036362541231831516.post-83903780784946785062008-04-10T07:21:00.000-05:002008-04-10T07:21:00.000-05:00Darn ...

Just getting to that point is maddening.<BR/><BR/>I have over active thinking brain that won't shut off. <BR/><BR/>I wish you well and hope that you are sound asleep.<BR/><BR/>Kristinttelrochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983293053486753099noreply@blogger.com
