| | Have you ever had so much on your mind that you couldn't sleep? | | once in a while. Sometimes it's really good giggly stuff, other times, heart-wrenching and miserable.I prefer the giggly, obviously. As for the bad stuff, one way I've found to get to sleep is to just breathe, and remind myself that there are some things in this world that I have absolutely no control over, and that worrying about them accomplishes nothing whatsoever. | |

| Do you take any sleep aids to help you get a good nights rest? | | I hate to sleep, but when I need my rest there is nothing like laying there and counting sheep into the thousands. I've never taken a sleep aid but the other night I did, I don't know if it helped but I did feel better in the morning. It was an herb so its not habit forming, do you require a sleep aid so you can get your Zzzzzz's? | |
| | Hubby's sleeping problem.... | | My husband never had any trouble falling to sleep until he injured his back. He injured it back in Aug., he ruptured a disc in his back and has not been able to work since, he has had 2 surgeries to repair it, the last one they put in a plate and some other hardwared. But he has been on a pain drug & then they added a sleeping aid, Lunesta. It worked for the 1st week or so. But then for weeks now, he would not be able to fall asleep until about 5 or 6 in the morning, by then he'd be sleeping half the day away. This week the dr. changed it to Rozerum (sp), but it's not change. So tonight he is going to try just the pain pill. He is getting very discouraged. He wants off all the meds so he can get back to normal. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what he can do to get back on a normal sleeping pattern? He needs to way before he can even think of going back to work. He drives a big truck and he hauls dangerous chemicals in and out of the refineries. Please any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. | |

| | Insomnia | | I usually have a hard time going to sleep, and sometimes, I don't sleep until the wee hours of the morning. And when I do sleep, I wake up constantly. I don't know what to do to help me sleep better. Does anyone have any rituals or remedies that are sleep effective? | |

| Do you take something to help you sleep at night? | | I've tried Lunesta only once because it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I took another one that I forget it's name but it didn't help. A while ago the doctor put me on Seroquel which definitely helps me sleep but I feel icky in the morning. Oh yeah I tried tylenol pm, took two and that night I dreamed I gave birth to spinach so that's out too.... | |
