walking dead!

[KORNBREAD]

so for the last few month i started having sleeping problems.  started out with waking up during the night or just getting up sooner than normal,to not feeling tired until 4am or so and waking up at 7am feeling like i never even slept. well i tried diffrent thing not envolving medication cause i hate taking pills. like turning all lights off and even buying a sound cd to listen to at night. eating warm soup before bed and even trying to take a hot bath to try to relax. but nothing worked. my body would feel so tired id get these horrible cramps and my eyes would burn so bad they would just water all night. but still my brain would keep spinning keeping me up all damn night. so the other day i said enough and seen my doc. said i had a form of ensomnia.  talked me into this sleeping pill. (im really desprete to sleep). so last night i took it around 9pm and i kid you not i opened my eyes at 12:30am sweating my ass off laying on the couch. it took every thing i had to stand and walk up to my bed.(im 6'6'' 375lbs so it sucked to hold myself up lol) i honestly felt like a zombie and probably looked like one to lol. i finaly got to bed and when i opened my eyes again it was 12pm and i still feel sleepy. so i called my doc told him theres no way in hell im taking these again. i have 3 kids at home and if god for bid something happened during the night id never know.

and jc there called diphenhydramine.

[RIP_K52007]

my g/f grandma has that problem, what she did is break the sleeping pill in half and eventually into 4 parts, she found out 1/4 of the pill getser about 6 hours of sleep.

[84Chevy]

its sucks too because with this issue you dont get for sleep so when you do something small like mow the lawn or any kinda work your so drained all you wanna do IS sleep... and i cant get up for if ive been sleepin

[KORNBREAD]

ya its really been messing with me. im starting to get edgy with my wife and kids,i have a hard time thinking sometimes,and i just feel drained most the time. i hate this. i feel real good and happy around 8pm threw around 1am then after that i get so tired but i just cant get my mind to slow down and relax.  i just want to sleep like a normal person again.

[84Chevy]

im gonna look on the web some more and see whats up.... what do you normally drink and eat??? im usually drinkin monster, coke, m dew and fast food...

[bubba]

what sleep aid did u use ?  there r many out there try lunesta if u havent already start with a small dose to see the effects i did the ambien thing it sucked!!!! went to lunesta worked really well  if that dont work there r many natural things at health  stores

[GregYAMAHA]

if i drink half a bfc can of monster before i go to bed i fall asleep quicker and drink the rest to wake up in the morning. im 15 and i have sleeping probs too.my doc put me on sleeping pills and i didnt get up for school and i fell asleep in school the next day. but the monster helps me try it

[KORNBREAD]

ya i tried the over the counter stuff except the lunesta stuff ill have to try it. and i really dont eat that much. i drink maybe 3-4 cans a pop a day if that and i really dont like sweet stuff. i just normal food. like sandwiches,chips,normal dinner stuff at night. its weird cause i had this happen once when i was about 11 and i never had problems sleeping sence untill about a month ago. but like right now its 12:44 am and im wide freaking awake. but right around 3-4 am i fall asleep till like 8am then im wide awake again.

[KingCracker]

man your talking about my life! insomnia rules my ass big time. ill try and goto bed at like 12 but just lay there for a few hours. or if i DO fall asleep i sleep so light that anything wakes me up. shoot i woke up once because i could hear myself breathing. what the hell is that lol. 

[Hammerlane]

The wife's great for 2 cups of coffee before bed.. then can't figure out why she can't sleep 

I have a night night beer, 1 and only 1 beer bout an hour before bed, I'm generally asleep by the time my head hits the pillow.. sleep like a rock

Father in law calls me a "Good soldier"  I can sleep anywhere, anytime,any position when I need too.

[Ghetto Fab]

hey kornbread i had them pills from my doc had the same crap goin on as you do  still do it sucks but i took the pills like thedoc said  and i didnt wake up till  1230 two days later man they worked great but i called him and told them what happened they said dont take them again so i just sleep when i sleep now  3-4 hours a night if im lucky let us know if you find something that works  love to get better sleep

[Mrs. OC]

I too have problems with sleeping... I have found that i can take 1 tylenol pm or advil pm about an hour before and get about 6 or so hrs of sleep... U should try taking melatonin  it helps regulate your sleep cycle.. but it takes about a month to show results.. Lunesta is good i have had that before too... Ambien knocks me out for a good 12 hours...  Just wonderin if your on any medication that have the side effect of insomnia.....  diphenhydramine is pretty much benadryl and if you get to much in a dose it could cause insomnia... check out healthline.com they tell about the drug in great detail... I hope this helps...
