Title: Insomnia
Post by: Cayo Hueso on November 21, 2005, 02:07:00 AM
I fucking HATE it.  I never really had it as badly as I have since getting out of there.  My poor kids, they could never sneak out without me waking up thnking a Goddamn n/c was trying to get out.  Once they explained to me where they wer going, I was fine with it.

Anyone else have insomnia?

Yeah, I have been plagued by chronic severe insomnia since I was a kid...and yes it did get worse after Straight. Over the years I have tried just about every known insomnia remedy without much relief....but now I am having a lot of luck with Melatonin. I fall asleep within an hour pretty consistently now. Yes, this is actually a huge improvement.

Have you tried melatonin yet?

Can you tell me what form do you take, and how much? I think I have insomniatic tendencies also.

Natrol's 3 mg, extra strength tablets. I think there are a couple other brands but I have found all to be just as good....its really cheap too.

I go through bouts of it myself.  I am on some new meds that I only take part of the time because they are so damn strong.  The stuff makes me sleep about 12-14 hours and if I have to wake up sooner, it is very very difficult.

Something I do is purposely stay up all damn nite one day out of the week and get rid of old bills, checks, paper work, and do some light housekeeping so that I don't wake up the bird.  The next day, I try and keep caffeine to a minimum and just slug through the day.  Once it is time to hit the sack, I usually sleep like a rock and this lasts about 4 weeks if I am lucky before the insomnia kicks in again.  By the way it is not PMS, it is lunar.  PMS is triggered by the moon and has been for thousands of years.
