I have insomnia!!!!

I have had it for 9 days now. I am going to lose my mind. Does anyone have any cure?

I am so tired today I actually feel sick.

Tell me....Have you been really stressed out lately?

Do you drink alot of coffee or soda in the late afternoon or evening?

Ugh....I really sympathize with you. I get long bouts of insomnia as well.
I don't have any cures but instead of lying in bed awake, you should get up and do stuff. That always seems to help me a little bit!

Tylenol PM...but make sure you take it at least 8 hours before you need to get up.

When this happens to me....I get so stressed out and watch the clock. So covering the clock or not looking at it really helped relieve some of the anxiety i got every night.

You cant look at the clock, or worry about what time it is....You have to not drink caffinated beverages after 6pm. You should try to relax before you head to bed...Drink some warm milk, or some chammoile tea. Read a book......before you shut the light off....and try not to be sooo stressed. Leave work at work.

maybe you should see your dr. so he/she can prescribe a sleeping aid?

No caffeine (chocolate, cocoa, tea, coffee, iced tea) in the evenings I think will help.

Warm milk maybe?
Nice bath might too.

Good luck
I hope you can sleep tonight

Get up and do things, but nothing too strenuous that they will get your heart rate up and make it worse. Read the dictionary or the phone book or something REALLY boring. Or read something in really fine print that is really technical. Your head will spin and you'll fall asleep.

I dont feel anymore stressed than usual. I go through this every once in awhile but I think this is the longest. Its so fustrating. I was actually yelling at FH last night b/c me woke me up, after I finally feel asleep. . I feel like I am never ever going to sleep through the night again. I dont drink any caffine after 6 b/c I know that keeps we awake.


Maybe tonight!!! Sleeping pills here I come.
