Trouble Sleeping How About You

[Shmooi]

UGH! I have been having trouble sleeping for about a week but now that I'm back home, I hope I'll be getting a good night's sleep tonight.

I have had trouble sleeping since 2006.  The only thing that helps me is melatonin.  Its safe and natural.  I have to take enough pills myself but I can take these and sleep most nights but I do have trouble getting to the point to were I feel I can lay down to sleep.  Once I start feeling sleepy I go to bed and I will sleep until morning around 7 am or later if I don't have doctor appt for myself, husband or father.  You can wake up go bathroom and then fall right back asleep with no problems.

   I was given a med but try not to use it much because of all the other med(s) I'm on.  Sometimes I read myself to sleep; play a card game on my cellphone; watch For..sic Files (the narrator speaks soft); or even try to think on memorized Scripture (kind of like "counting sheep",...)  Insomnia is definitely not fun!!! Hang in there!

Whenever I have trouble sleeping I usually try reading or watching TV....Not really paying much attention on the book or TV...It seems after my mind is relaxed I fall asleep!

I don't know about you but I have trouble sleeping most night. Not because its hot, I just can't sleep. I have tried different things but nothing seem to work. And I don't like to take pills, because I'm on enough meds. Well if anyone could think of something that will help let me know.

wish I could help but I'm in the same boat.  It is 7:57am and I still have not slept.  I am on 8 pills a day plus narcs for pain.  I cannot take sleeping pills because I have a toddler and I 'm a single mom...so I cannot take anything that will knock me out...i don't know what to do, maybe it's the fibromyalgia...

When I do, I read a book and it usually knocks me right now.  Or I think about some type of paradise and I drift away into that : )

im nocturnal by nature...and when I have to play by a day schedule, it makes sleeping a real pain.  I just started another med which is also interfering with sleep, so really I'm a hot mess atm lol.
generally though, if I'm allowed to follow my biorhythms, I sleep a little more and less brokenly.  I read.  I use a white noise machine.  can't take melatonin, have tried, and will not take "sleep" type meds, because, as others have said already, I have enough to keep track of.
