Sleeping Pills

[Guest]

Hello Mods...Please leave this in this section. I would appreciate it even though I know this is clearly off topic.

I can't get one night of good sleep. I wake up by 8 every morning even though I want to sleep much longer. It doesn't matter if I stay up until 4 I still wake up. I know the cause of this and it is mainly anxiety.

I want to get one fucking good night of sleep. I don't want to dream or anything I just wanna fucking sleep.

Is there some sort of sleeping pill I can take? I don't want to get hooked on some sleeping pill. I know those fuckers are addictive. I normally wouldn't look at taking something like this but I need rest. I toss and turn all night, I am lucky to get 2 hours of good sleep. This isn't enough. My eyes are killing me right now. I am not functioning the way I normally do. UGH...

What do you suggest?

Valerian root is good for this, naturally speaking. You can get it virtually anywhere.

It smells like kaka, but if you take like 6 of them it has a relaxing affect.... well, 6 for me. You'll have to experiment with your dosage. It is a herb, not drug, and is pretty cheap $3.50 a bottle of 96. It has a calming/relaxing effect and that's what it's intended for. It has been used widely as a natural sleep aid.

Take 30 minutes before trying to sleep.

Start small. Benadryl, Nyquil...something to knock you out. There are over the counter remedies, but most of them are just benadryl anyway, lol.

Just take some of the OTC sleeping pills. I occasionally take the Equate (walmart store brand) sleeping pills w no addictive effects (which I'm prone to) It's the prescription ones that have the addictive stuff. The normal dose is 2 pills and my fat ass only takes 1. I'd recommend 1 to start since I'm about 100 lbs more than you. Wash it down with a tasty beverage and in 45 minutes it will be sweet dreams.

I like to take Tylenol PM, that shits strong I'd recommend taking just 1 to start, and go from there .

Ya, I know exactly how ya feel, I used to never be able to sleep.

Hope all goes well

I've taken Unisom before and it works pretty well. (over the counter...can find it at walmart or anywhere really)
Never got addicted..but I never took it more than 2 nights in a row.

Word of warning, I've read it will do a (pretty bad) number on your liver if you take it with alcohol tho...

ZMA or lean dreams from ALR both make me sleep in way past my normal wake up time. ZMA will run you about $20, lean dreams is about 45 retail

Melatonin generally works and it's natural.

Have you tried exercise (ie, tiring yourself the fuck out - also a good stress/anxiety reliever)?
