Insomnia

Featured Replies

Who's with me?  Here I am again been up since 6am and leaving for the lake in about 3 hours.  Never had a problem with it before the last 6 months or so.  Anybody know any good remedies???   I really prefer not to take any drugs, but this is getting ridiculous.

I feel your pain. I go through bouts of insomnia from time to time and have not really found any solution. I on occasion will take some nyquil if I feel I really need to go to sleep, but that doesn't always help.

If you do exercise don't do it right before bed.

Stay away from sugar,coffee and snack food.At least 4 hours from bed time.

6:00 am, I *** you.  My body clock is whacked out shape bad.  Regardless of what I do and what time I go to bed I get up between 11:30 and 12:30 every morning.

Some days is has no affect me other days I drag bad.  Getting the worse the older I get.  Tried medications, sleep clinics, nothing has helped, but I'm usually the first one at some of fishing spots       haha

I thought the only exercise was liftin??? i will admit that puts me to sleep like a baby the same night, so three nights a week im good to go same routines make it easier to sleep

i would avoid any coffee or cigarettes or alcohol close to bed time also avoid eating any big meals before you go to sleep.try getting on a regular work -sleep routine and take up walking for exercise i would avoid watching an fast paced  stressful type TV shows to close to bed time also. maybe you could try turning off everything in the house close to bedtime and just read with a lamp on usually reading will make you drowsy.

They gave me seroquil and now I sleep great. Went from 10-12 hours of sleep a week to normal.
