[irismarie]

it is now 2 30 am and i still cannot sleep. it is as though my brain will not let go, refuses to lose consciousness, tho that is all I want to do

Like this every night now.

Sorry to hear your problems. Have you tried taking some Gravol?

Ohh Iris Marie...I hope sleep has come your way by now and you are resting comfortably...

I just sent IrisMarie a message in case she isn't really looking at this page but still has her computer on. I've had sleep issues for decades and for the last 8 years have taken Librium early in the evening. It's nonaddictive and cheap. It won't keep you asleep all night but does make a person sleepy.

I hope you're already sleeping, IrisMarie and see this in the morning.

Oh Iris, I know you guys are having a heat wave over there and I know that cant help matters much. But, perhaps take a look at the anti-depressant again like I told you about on FB. Plus, stress can be a factor and I would imagine that not getting any outlet like any type of exercise would make things worse hun. Okay, I have to give you some crap about it though my luv, since I never get an opening like this one,,,,, "You need to get to bed and get some sleep!" Sound familiar? hahahahaha
Hugs sweet one!

[irismarie]

thank you friends. I think my unwillinegness to take medication to sleep and the fact that my brain hangs on when I want to cut out is some primitive fear of someting awful - not death - happening when I am not in control. Used to get terrible nightmares and think it is bipapall connected. But will try to be more reasonable and not complain.
Love you all to bits

My husband is a bit afraid of sleep aids, too. I don't know why, and he can't explain it. I hop things get better for you. I know how it drives him crazy.

Iris, get a hold of your friends who send you some of the green stuff, or even take some from S. HE OWES YOU! Then you should not have a problem getting to sleep my dear friend!
Hugs, Kari

I have nights like that once, or twice a week. I take a ambian, and a zannax. I will be so sleepy that I can't walk without holding the walls, but still won't fall asleep!

 

[irismarie]

i think it is definitely a distinct REFUSAL to give in somewhere deep inside. I keep telling it I honestly DO NOT MIND if I do not wake up but it tut tuts at me and refuses to listen

 

[Blubear]

Iris dear heart, you deserve to get rest like everyone else dont ya? If the green stuff doesnt work, get some 10mg of Ambien and xanax that should knock you out. I also take tizanadine (zanaflex) which dries the mouth, but is also a bone/muscle relaxer. With my pain issues it is the only way I could ever sleep. Gotta do something about it hun, no good sleep = crappy day full of even more fatigue. You deserve better!
I love ya!

Pour hot water on lettuce leaves then drink it. A nurse told me it aids sleep. Lettuce is supposed to break up mucus too.

My best wishes,
Cherry.

huh...hot water on lettuce? Did it actually work for you?
