[i hate panicking]

Ah I see...bit of a night owl then:)

[mickh555]

[i hate panicking]

[tommy1982]

i had the very same problem :) you may remember you helping me!!


I found my answer.. herbel sleeping pills, i drift right off

[Irishhhhhh]

I got Nytol herbal tablets but when I got home I noticed it says not to take this medicine if you are taking antidepressant medicines!

I had my Fluoxetine dose doubled and also starting Tranquilizers so maybe this will knock me out at a sensible hour :closedeyes: zZzZz

[i hate panicking]

Awww..I'm glad tommy and Irishhhhh are getting some sleep now:)

[tommy1982]

Ah I see...bit of a night owl then:)

I had the same problem for a few months babe, it was horrendous. My sleep is much better now and I hope yours passes too

[finny12000]

Im either falling asleep on couch or up half the night lol
i tend to try now to declutter mind before bedtime and read a book or watch tv but i dont know the answer apart from i try not to dwell on it now as i say to myself ok last night was crap tonight will be better,and eventually i get a good sleep but maybe only once or twice a week max.
I do like a bath to chill out but if i come to computer to play games or stay on here to late it awakens my mind to much

[tommy1982]

I got stilnoct off the doctor today 5mg! I normally dont takes pills should send me right off to the land of nod.

[i hate panicking]

My sleepings a bit better now but still up late..lol

I would rather avoid meds to get me asleep as I don't want to rely on anything to get me asleep to be honest I think I just have an overactive brain..well what's left of it...lol:)

Hope you all get a good nights sleep soon:winks:

I'm sick of not sleepin,i fall to sleep o.k but wake up early hours of the mornin.
fed up of my life in the Twilight zone..somebody just knock me out !

[shoppinspree]

hey.
yeah i have massive issues sleeping. the only thing that i have found that has helped is this deep relaxation sleeping thing. i can send you the audio file if you want?
its really good. if you really focus on what it is saying and the sounds you drift right off. i even made a conscious decision to listen to the whole thing and i think i would have fallen asleep after 5 mins lol!

Hi,

I hope you are getting a better nights sleep now.

I haven't slept properly for a few weeks, I had 3 hours sleep one night last week then I had to get up and go to work! I have no trouble getting to sleep, but I wake up and then I can't get back to sleep again. The last few nights have been better, having a milky drink and a bath has helped me. Also if you are worrying a lot about things, writing them down can help. Also if I do start waking up again I'm going to try a relaxation tape to see if that helps me get back to sleep.

I hope you have a good nights sleep tonight.:)
