Members kendi Posted December 2, 2012 Members Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am knowing insomnia to well!! Nothing works, I have tried sleep aids from natural to prescription, I get more exercise tossing and turning than I do anywhere else!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators widower2 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Moderators Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Sometimes it helps me if I watch TV or a movie or turn on the clock radio to music when I'm trying to fall asleep - for what it's worth. Also I have read/heard that if you're not at all sleepy, get up. Staying in bed won't help. Go watch TV or do housework or read a book or whatever.Sorry some of you are having this problem too.......

Members Aimee Posted December 23, 2012 Members Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Dang it! I missed my chance... lately I have been falling into bed. I suppose it is getting everything set for Christmas. I have kept myself busy with baking, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, wrapping, writing cards, and the list goes on. By the time I make it to the bedroom, I am so tired, I can't even keep my eyes opened. I will probably join the insomnia club when the holidays are over and it is just me and my thoughts.

Members catz Posted October 16, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 4 am last nite.....and actually come to think of it all week....only trouble is im on pretty much the opposite time from you guys or id be keeping you all company.....and if that doesnt scare ya to sleep nothing will Like everyone else i think, its that GETTING to sleep thats the hard part....trying to stop the mind from being overactive is hard........actually nigh on impossible, and atm i also have worries about where im going from here since certain things in my world will be changing, and i have little to no control over them. i sleep with music or the tv going just so i dont have to think, cos if i think i just start going round and round in circles and getting really upset, which doesnt help anything.

Members needy Posted October 17, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I use to have insomnia, had it for years. As soon as I went to bed my brain would not shut up, then I would keep waking up all night long. After my husband's passing I was put on some kind of sleeping pill, it did wonders. I am off them now but as soon as my head hits the pillow I am out till my alarms goes off, but I still wake up tired (what is up with that). At first I thought it was the meds that trained my over active brain to shut up at night or maybe it is because I am working 12 hours a day that helps me. Someone once suggested while you are trying to fall asleep to listen for sounds. Suppose to stop the over active brain. Remember studying something you didn't understand, how it made you sleepy. Maybe reading quantum physics might be the cure. Sorry everyone you are going through this, it is no laughing matter. Hope you all get a good night sleep. I am up for 20 questions!! Off to watch X files on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tnwulf0513 Posted October 17, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Lately I haven't had that much trouble going to sleep... staying asleep.. 4 hours average and wide awake. I think I am so exhausted that I pass out more than fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeyJude Posted October 17, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I really feel for you folks who are having trouble sleeping. I had major trouble the first 8 months or so. I am finally where I can sleep and sleep good without any pharmaceutical assistance. Thank God because that Ambien did some weird stuff to me!!

Moderators widower2 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 For whatever it's worth, melatonin did help some - not so much getting me to sleep but having "better" sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faith Posted October 19, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 i still have trouble sleeping. it's been 3 years since my husband died. he had a regular day job that he retired from but was always a professional musician since i've known him. he would come home from gigs in the wee hours of the morning, and i would wait up for him all those years we've been together. so, even though i know he'll never come home again, i still "wait" up for him.....having trouble changing this habit of mine!

Members Austykatie Posted October 21, 2013 Members Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think I am going to sleep well tonight. For some silly reason I decided to drink way more than I should have at Jim's friends 50th Bday party last night..I am hungover and on about 2 hours of sleep! Now if my daughter would just go to bed so I could! OHH yeah and Melatonin has helped me some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
