Members IVcrane Posted September 29, 2005 Members Share Posted September 29, 2005 Things are getting ridiculous......6:10 AM and I still can't fall asleep.I guess I have to just face the day and sleep later.Just had some hash, eggs, bacon, english muffin, coffee, and juice. Hopefully some energy to make up for a sleepless night. I think I may go walk Runyun Canyon and exhaust some energy, get some exercise, then a Jambe Juice..... Not like anyone cares, I'm just babbling giving some time for food to settle before I go hiking...... Need to build back some leg muscles from my knee surgery. Have a good day everyone, hopefully I can fall asleep this afternoon while the sun is actually down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck man.... I'll try that tonight. I tried a friends Zanax, that worked the first 2 nights then did nothing. Too much going on in my life right now, once my head hits the pillow my mind hits Nascar They say everything happens at once, and being in the middle of a nightmare divorce on top of everything else ain't helping.

I'm not sure how much more of this falling asleep after sunrise I can take. It's fine once in a while after after parties, but not everynight. I fall asleep usually between 6-8 and wake up at like 4 in the afternoon... I lose my whole day.I'll be thanking you like crazy if it works......

I'm hiking everyday..... unfortunately not a help with the sleep issue. I'm hiking to get the muscles in my leg back from being out of commision from knee surg this past August. However, when I use to go to the gym everyday it put me in better spirits and destressed my head. Too much on my plate right now though. Divorce, surgery recovery, work, MONEY, and a bit more...... A lot of life changes happening right now, part of why I haven't been on the forum much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that bro. I know this falls into the "Easier said than done" category, but try clearing your mind out before you go to sleep. Just kind of do the opposite to worrying about something, focus on something else instead of the problem(s). I'd call it meditation, but I'm not a buddhist, so I may not explain/see it the way the folks that made it popular do. When I have some heavy stuff going down and it's just dragging me down I try to end my day with some prayer and focusing/meditation... I know not everyone believes and I know it's hokey to some, but I just try to, at the end of the day, leave it in God's hand and focus on something peaceful. And, I'm not trying to push stuff off on ya man, but we can only relate to others what we've learned for ourselves. Good luck and I hope the storm passes brother.

For some reason one of those puts me to sleep where I was taking 2-3 Zanax with varied results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members godofmetalguita Posted October 5, 2005 Members Share Posted October 5, 2005 I've been not sleeping for a while. IDK what the deal is. I havent been going to bed till about 4:30 every morning. I used to go to bed around 12:00 or 1:00 when i was working. I guess being laid off isnt so bad, but there's no reason to wake up early anymore, so why bother going to bed early?

Members DirtyChains Posted October 5, 2005 Members Share Posted October 5, 2005 I know the feeling about not being able to sleep. I have been working till midnight for 13 years. I stay up and drink and get {censored}ed up most nights. Then I pretend I can play guitar well:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badtoneno Posted October 5, 2005 Members Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hang in there Ed! I'm a border-line insomniac myself. I've got to try that Unisom also. I used one of the generic ones for a while and it worked fairly well.I have to do the exercise thing though- you're on the right track with that!Wish you well on the other stuff, bro!

Members MitchSchaft Posted October 5, 2005 Members Share Posted October 5, 2005 You're not gonna build up a tollerance to Unisom. With Xanax you will, which is why you get the varied results. I used to have to take TylenolPM every night for years to fall asleep. I've asked a few docs and it won't hurt you if you're concerned about that. Unisom's active ingredient is the same as TylenolPM's active sleep ingredient, FYI. Which is Benadryl . It's all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is the same.......but for some reason thankfully...the Unisom doesnt seem to give that Benadryl hangover as bad.....at least for me....

I take the straight liquid Benadryl a lot if I can't get to sleep. Doesn't give me too much of a hangover as long as I don't overdue it. Works in half an hour or less too!
