I have been having big time sleep problems...insomnia and/or early awakening for months.

My sleep doctor has scheduled me for my second sleep study. I told him that it would be useless because there is no way I would be able to get to sleep.

So he gave me 3 Ambien. He told me to take one a few weeks before the sleep study to see how I react to it. Then, bring the bottle with me the night of the sleep study in April and I will take one there. Hope it works!

what it usually means, try an indica. Or better yet, a tincture made from an indica. You will sleep well.

You too, BP. I have a prescription for xanax, but try to stick with the edibles. Saving the xanax for the "limited nuclear action."

Sleep 7 hours straight. It turns off the brain chatter.

Ambien scares me, won't try it.

but xanax can be a life saver for anxiety. Got me through some awful times. It does turn off brain chatter, good description.

Xanax, Ambien, Indica (smoke, not edible) and...still no sleep. Add a shot of whiskey and still no sleep! Frustrating!

insomnia is a bitch, but keep trying. I think my daughter in law has tried everything and still has trouble sleeping, but says my cookies help her more than anything. Maybe try edibles if you can?

..it doesn't necessarily give you a typical 'growing drowsy' feeling that other sleep medication does. If you stay up doing stuff waiting for that feeling, it can work against your falling asleep.

... and I have to shut my eyes and start exercises or an ebook I've heard many times on headphone.

My evening is eating at about 5, taking my Trazodone about 8:30, and trying to sleep when it starts hitting. If still up at 11 that's usually enough time for my slow gut to empty enough for an Ambien to work.

Good luck hon.

an information means he's agreed to plead guilty before going to court. It clearly states "Information" on the document posted here and elsewhere.

19. Manafort's partner - Gates - is flipping on him
Tue Feb 20, 2018, 01:24 PM
Feb 2018

I think he already has because he hired new lawyers a couple weeks ago.

It really looks like Gates wants to get a plea-deal from Mueller and tell everything he knows about Manafort. So fingers crossed, maybe he knows enough about Trump's dirty deals with the Russians also. This might be enough to sink the ship USS Trussia.

Malcolm has great instincts for this stuff, thanks to his many years of experience in the intel community. I'm not sure I've ever seen him guess/speculate incorrectly.

Mueller’s interest in Van Der Zwaan, who helped produce a report legitimizing the contentious trial of Viktor Yanukovych’s political rival in Ukraine, is another sign that he is is ramping up pressure on Manafort. My latest: https://t.co/Hko45BSbB7

CNN said that he will be missing the birth for sure. How do all these people have so many Russian ties? Even Pence's brother has finances tied to them. They idiot who lost the Alabama election speaks Russian. Fuckerberg speaks Russian and Chinese. Other former presidents (both Dem and GOP didn't have this many ties as far as I recall.
CNN guests, political commentator/analyst just told Wolf Blitzer that this is about the middle of Mueller's investigation and nowhere near wrapping up. That's what I figure. Mueller needs to get people to flip (like Manafort) and nail Ryan and McConnel too. If he can do that it will be worth the wait.
