Sleep

[Lohman446]

Ok... I've tried everything I can think of short of going to a doctor... I don't like going to doctors, so now I'm turning to a group of strangers for medical advice .

Ok.. I know its not too bright, but there are some very intelligent people around here with various experience and expertise.

I have not slept well for more than one night at a time in about a month or so... I have been having really really screwed up dreams that I can only remember portions of.

By not well I mean I am normally consciously awake more than six times a night, often much more. This happens the majority of nights - about 90% from what I can remember.

Its getting annoying, its effecting me at work, and everywhere else I'm sure. I have tried varying my sleep schedule anywhere from six to ten hours a night with little to no effect. I have tried not eating, drinking before going to bed to avoid anything there that might be causing it. I have cut out caffeine and most sugar from my diet...

Im open for suggestions - something to change to sleep better, something to take to be more awake during the day.

Ideas... any?

Hehehe.

What kind of food do you eat? Sometimes your diet can affect your sleeping habits. Maybe stress?(arg I sound like a doctor).

I used to have very bad insomnia-like symptoms, but I cured it by eating correctly and laying off the entertainment at night(TV/Computer).

You could always try sleeping pills, but those are easily addicting.

sleeping pills or a drink of NyQuil. the NyQuil helps me sleep when im sick.

I'm not big on doctors, either. Ambien (and similar drugs) can be bought online. You'll just need to fill out a form with your medical history. A doctor (somewhere) will look it over to check for potential drug interactions, and if it looks good, they'll approve the prescription, which will then be shipped to you.

Keep in mind, though, that this is remarkably stupid, and just might kill you. Personally, I'm okay with the risk, but your mileage may vary.

Try lying in bed reading or something for a little bit before you try to go to sleep. I've always found that keeping a routine allows my body to realize it's time to sleep and to chill out, leading to better sleep.

Or you could control the atmosphere in your room and drop the amount of oxygen in the air to a point just above where brain damage sets in, should keep you good and asleep since you won't have enough oxygen to sustain being awake

Before this started happening, what would you do before bed? Read? Listen to music?

I know that if I do not liten to my CD player before I go to bed, I cant sleep. It takes well over an hour to fall asleep and I wake up 30 min.-1 hour early.

Any sites youd recommend for this, I have been playing with the idea of other things that require a prescription that might boost my energy level
