I hate this. I take a sleep med and go to bed and in the early morning hours (2:45 this morning) I am wide awake. grrrrrrr
I have a therapy appointment today in the city. I have to drive 2.5 hours to get there and my sister who usually goes with me can't go today. I'm on my own and I'll be exhausted. I would give anything to get a full night's sleep. My pdoc says my sleep med should work for a full night's sleep. I tell him it doesn't. We've tried so many sleep meds, I've lost track. I hate this insomnia. I hate it. Thank goodness I am retired. But on therapy days I really want to sleep the full night. Notice how this is making very little sense? I am a mess. I am fat, stupid, ugly and worthless. I hate myself. Posted on 10/09/07, 04:10 am |

You are not any of those things you mentioned.
I agree with all the thing Disipirted said. There's nothing like warm milk with a touch of nutmeg to put you too sleep. Also I bought one of those Delta Brainwave CDs. It's very helpful, but you must listen to it with earphones. Those always drop me. Also hot aromatherapy baths knock me out. You can make your own with a cup of sea salt and add between 4-6 drops of lavender oil. However my fave combo is Lavender and Rose. In fact, I'm gonna go do that!

Sleep is one of my hardest things to achieve, but i try to have a cup of milk and toast with peanut butter before bed. I also stop watching TV and relax in bed sometimes just doing some deep controlled breathing helps. I never had any luck with the meds.

Girl, please don't say that. I am struggling too, so I know. I stay tired all the time, but for me I can't go into a deep sleep. I miss that precious sleep cycle too. My primary doctor put me on Seroquel and it knocks me out, but I still don't go into a deep sleep, it's like 1/2 of me is not asleep. I hope you find something else that works for you! :)
