May 15, 200818 yr Ambien CR seems to be a very popular choice for insomnia at the pharmacy which I work at. Usually you can get your doctor to prescribe it for 7 days and they usually have a coupon to get those 7 pills free, it can be pretty expensive otherwise. Also the plain Ambien now has a generic, zolpidem, which isn't too expensive.
May 15, 200818 yr I use to have this problem until I started getting up at 5 am to go work out. Now I go to bed about 10, watch TV for about 10 mins and I am out. Before I could go to bed at 10 and it would take me at least and hour to go to sleep. My biggest problem was I couldn't quit thinking about stupid stuff. My mind would race thinking about things I had to do the next day or that I did that day or just off the wall crap.
May 15, 200818 yr I dont know how old you are, but sleeping problems get worse in your forties. Try a Tylenol p.m. or plain benedryl (25-50mg). Dont take Tylenol if you have been drinking. Well if I've been drinking sleeping is not a problem. Seems to take care of itself. :lol:
May 15, 200818 yr Eating just before you go to bed or drinking anything with caffine will cause sleeping problems.

I take 50mg of benadryl and 1 mg of melatonin each night and I sleep like a baby:sleep:. 1 mg of melatonin is a real low dose. When I take 3 mg of melatonin.....I have very vivid dreams, kind of freaky so I stick with 1 mg. The benadryl helps with allergies too. BF

May 16, 200818 yr Have 5 young children and do a P90X workout every morning at 5:30 am. Trust me, you will sleep like a baby. This sounds like the most effective cure.
May 16, 200818 yr Go to the Library and find an audio book, get some soft headphones and listen to the book. You can even get the Bible on CD/Tape. :sleep:
May 16, 200818 yr Nyquil... It puts you OUT! :thumb::lol: Yeah, cause it's like a shot of whiskey. :sssh: Pretty high alcohol content.
May 16, 200818 yr HB are you still taking Nano Vapor? That could be it. I tried it (about puked) but got used to it. When I first started taking it my sleep was messed up a little.
May 16, 200818 yr My problem is that I can't take anything that will "knock me out" because of the fire dept. and the kids. I need to be able to get up and going at a moments notice.
May 16, 200818 yr What is melatonin and where can you get it? Any health food store will have it, I buy mine at Sprouts which is a (health food)grocery store near where I live. Melatonin is about 8 bucks for two months supply. You have to play with the dosage to see what works for you. 3-5 mg is the typical dose but that is too heavy for me. I use 1mg tablet and they are kind of hard to find. Take it before you go to bed, lots of health benefits. See below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin
