Trouble sleeping...

[Korian]

Sleeping pills can be a blessing, as long as you don't abuse
them, or take them every night. You will need a script tho.

Isn't Melatonin just the stuff your body uses naturally to go asleep anyway?

Catnip tea/herb helps me.

Where can I get some good earplugs? It's hard for me to sleep during the summer because of all the thunderstorms we get down here. If there's one that's good enough to snuff out the sound of lightning in your backyard then I'd be in heaven.

Walgreens, if you have one nearby. They have the fleshy colored Hearos brand that work quite well, and they're soft enough to not irritate your ears. I also like the glow in the dark yellow and pink swirl variety, for the sole reason that I can locate them if they fall out in the middle of the night without having to get up and turn my light on. If you lack a Walgreens, try similar drug stores. They're often stocked by either toothpaste or chapstick and other odd-end hygiene products.

Also, I would like to add to the batch who warn of getting addicted to sleeping medications. The meds I take for my back also knock me out, and I found it impossible to sleep without them for a time. It was hideous, learning how to sleep naturally again. Be very careful when putting anything into your system to help you sleep.

And it may not be the item itself. I had more of a mental addiction; feeling as though I was incapable of sleep without them. It's hard to wean yourself from that kind of thing. Talk to a doctor, if you can, there are lots of options out there.


And that said, I still lay in bed for several hours before falling asleep and never feel too refreshed no matter how long I can stay asleep. I'll be trying some of this advice once I'm moved into my new room.

I plugged in one of those little electric water-fountains. The trickling sound was soothing and helped get me off the "get to sleep dammit!" mental cycle.

I had to sleep on a couch after prom at a friends house who had one of those things. Because of it I had an awful time getting to sleep. In fact I didn't. So I got up and looked out the window for a few hours while everyone else was asleep, getting weird looks whenever somone got up to go to the bathroom.

I take that Tylonol Simply Sleep stuff now whenever I have trouble getting to sleep. It's pretty weak though if you're having serious problems, but it gets the job done for me recently.

I've had trouble sleeping since I was a kid, it got pretty bad at points this year where on more than a few nights I just gave up and didn't go to sleep at all.

I'm a really bad sleeper. I wake up all the time at night, and often can't sleep for hours. I don't mind it much though, you get lots of thinking time, and its in that awesome dazed state, where you drop in and out of dreams while remaining fairly concious.

The worst is when you start dreaming that you can't sleep. Its probably the most annoying thing in the world.

You should count sheep arjue. or fuck them. either one.
