I can't sleep. Again.

Help! A lullaby, drugs, something, anything. I swear I am going to have a psychotic break soon if I don't start sleeping.

1. Same here.

Just waiting now for the Tylenol PM to kick in, guzzling a few O'Doul's while I wait.

4. Start running and don't stop until you collapse

But consult a doctor first.

7. I haven't had more than 1-2 days a week of 5+ hours sleep in a

couple of years. The doc's want to give me pills, but that's just not a real option in my world. I spend 1-2 hours a day in a somewhat meditative state to make up for it.

10. It's getting to be like that here.

Last night I slept really well but that is unusual. I am going for the warm milk now and will hope for the best. I am getting sick of dragging my tired self around all day- it's hard to focus and my productive hours are getting few and far between. i have meditative time too but it doesn't come close to making up for a good nights sleep.

9. Ambien...

They say it does the trick.. :boring: Maybe you should talk to your doc about trying a sample?

11. Oh wait,,,,

I just saw "alittlelarks" comment..

I guess the reason Ambien is so popular, is that you're not drowsy the next day.

That, and it works immediately. I dunno.. Might be worth asking the doc about if you can't sleep :shrug:

13. I think it is the change of the seasons

There has been a sudden and shocking switch in temperatures where I live... 30s one day, 70s the next (at least that is how my body feels it).

I'm going to try meditation tonight to see if I can place myself into a colder state of mind. For whatever reason, I think it will help with my insomnia.
