Cures for insomnia?

what have you tried, MMiap?   and why can't you sleep?

Count from 0 to 10 in your head over and over, thats how I get to sleep

HIBS, that won't work and I'd be red raw down there after a few days.[:)]

the counting to ten or counting sheep won't work for me either.  I'd get distracted too easily and start thinking of something else..

Ive tried all sorts off things, going for a run before im going to bed, reading a book. Took some weird @rse medicine cr@p that didnt work. I havnt been able to sleep much since my eldest died end of March, i get moaned at for it but what can you do

Maybe some over the counter medication that would make me drowsy?  any suggestions?

I've tried some of the natural sleeping aids but they're all crap.

cut down on all stimulants, shut down by turning off all electrical devices, only go to bed when you are actually tired.

White Widow

What medicine did you try?   I also tried exercising and reading but no help.   I could read a whole book in bed and not fall asleep.

White Widow.

I'd feel tired when I go to bed but then feel wide awake after I lie down.   

It's worse if I have a bad day at Betfair...

The most ive slept in one day/night was 3 hours and that was from alcohol try that

Oh shut up hornets...

Do you want me to say god dam it i got high as a kite and was seeing ghosts around and then starting dreaming about the blonde women who works in Tesco's, whilst i was doing that i fell asleep only t be woken up by a wolf 2 hours later which had escaped from the sewers underground and came to have some cereal and toast with me

Lay off the drugs kid..

Stop taking the speed and ya might sleep[smiley:crazy]

Ive never touched drugs in my life and dont wish to either.

Try zolpidem. It's a short-term treatment for insomnia and is available from your GP.

Buy a quality airbed and try sleeping in a different room.  Putting in ear plugs even if there is no noise can sometimes help. A hot bath late at night can make you drowsy.  A small amount of alcohol, too much and you'll wake up in the night. Some of these work for me some of the time.

Might have to do that.  **** all sleep last night too despite dropping 4 Piriton (anti-histimine tabs that are supposed to make you drowsy).

do a bit of hard manual labour or go to the gym or something to get rid of the excess energy

Get the Mrs Pregnant.

Make your days as full, busy and productive as possible.
Go to sleep when the sun goes down, if you find you wake up early in the morning eg 4am then start your day then.
You need 8-9 hours sleep for optimal health.

night nurse is good, or panadol (spelling?) night pain tablets they knock me out.

vodka

Thanks for the tips, folks.   Might try Night Nurse tonight and see how it goes.  And maybe go for a run this afternoon.  Alcohol is not the answer for me.   It really fúcks up my sleep.

Don't remember the last time I got 8+ hours sleep.. Maybe last year. [smiley:crazy]

I won't rest until I find a cure for Insomnia......

Night nurse is the sh1te i tried Didnt work for me...

i have to get into a bed within 20 minutes of having night nurse lol it completely sends me

Sit in front of a laptop watching all in-play games...can,t stay awake

Sit in front of a laptop watching all in-play games...can,t stay awake Grin

So true

Especially the boring 0-0s

Read a few reviews of Night Nurse saying it was better than sleeping pills so I'll give it a go.  Do I need to take more than the recommended dosage for it to work properly? [:p]

What about Benadryl?  anyone tried it?

I never fall asleep at my laptop watching shítty in-play games and never fall asleep reading either. I could easily stay awake all night and not doze off.

they only sell night nurse in bottles with 4 measures in, so i normally have half (2 x doses)

Careful this is how Michael Jackson started

Is this a wind-up?   My bedroom is white but how would the colour affect my sleep? Don't eat/drink much in the hours before sleeping. Maybe a tea or something. Beer, Jim Beam at the weekend.  During the week, watch TV, on Betfair etc.

SOFAKING

ive suffered from INSOMNIA for years its terrible. It skrews you up.

Some over the counter herbal based products may help you . go to health shop or holland & barrets. VALERIAN,HOPS,PASSION FLOWER stuff like that calms you nervous system down,and makes you slightly drowsy. But as the shop assistant and they can suggest to you other stuff which best suits you.

also PERSCRIPTION MEDICINES:
Benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are the ones most commonly prescribed hypnotics. Originally developed to treat anxiety, these drugs reinforce a chemical in the brain that inhibits neuron excitability. They include lorazepam (Ativan), alprazolam (Xanax), triazolam (Halcion), and temazepam (Restoril), among others. Side effects include respiratory symptoms, daytime drowsiness, memory loss, and odd mood states. Benzodiazepines are potentially dangerous when combined with alcohol and should not be taken by people who use the ulcer medication cimetidine (Tagamet).

Non-benzodiazephines. Newer short-acting nonbenzodiazepines are available that can induce sleep with fewer side effects than the benzodiazepines. These hypnotics include zolpidem (Ambien), zaleplon (Sonata), and zopiclone (Imovane). They include zolpidem (Ambien), zopiclone, and zaleplon. Side effects include nausea, dizziness, nightmares, agitation, and headache. These hypnotics may pose less of a risk of dependence. The brands have some differences, Zaleplon (Sonata) is the shortest-acting hypnotic available. It can be taken even in the middle of the night and if a patient needs to awaken in only four hours. Zolpidem (Ambien) may be useful for people who take it as soon as they go to bed, since it is longer acting than Sonata.

Antidepressants. These can relieve insomnia associated with depression or early morning awakening. A combination of newer antidepressants and structured psychotherapy is proving to be very effective for improving both depression and insomnia in patients with both conditions. Researchers are particularly interested in investigating nefazodone (Serzone), a newer antidepressant that appears to improve sleep efficiency. Newer antidepressants include trazodone (Desyrel), nefazodone (Serzone), and paroxetine (Paxil). These medications have far fewer side effects, and much less danger for overdose, than other anti-insomnia drugs.

BUT FIRST MAKE APPOINTMENT TO YOUR GP. He probably give you antidpressant or maybe sleeping drug.


Also if you do some phsical activity before couple of hours before bedtime,dont watch TV 1 hour before sleep , read some boring book LOL may help you fall sleep.

Phillips Idowu

xanax is Great stuff after a weekend of class As!

very useful, strikeitrich.  thanks very glad.

I've tried most of the herbal stuff but they haven't helped me.  I certainly need something stronger.

Trying  Phenergan as we speak..

im on diclofenac sodium

yeah no worries m8.

yeah the herbal stuff works for some and not for others. Obviously DRUGS are more effective and approved bye the FDA, howeve DRUGS have more side effects, so you need to read consult you GP, as them about possible drugs, and what side effects go with them. Get the one with least side effects & small dose to start off with.

I got a sleeping drug last year, i totaly forgot the name, but i be honest didnt work for me much, and left some bitter taste in my mouth everytime i took it, which lasted for 24hrs or so. Also some drugs may become addictive.

its tough one i dont have the solution you need to see someone qualified

good luck

bloody heck so many mistakes in my writeup sorry LOL. i think im bit tired

roll one  of  jamaicans  finests  reefas

roll one  of  jamaicans  finests  reefas

ok cheers.

apindy1............Trying  Phenergan as we speak..

What's that for?   over the counter?

go to sleep.

can't.

What is Phenergan?

Phenergan is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body.

Phenergan is used to treat allergy symptoms such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and itchy skin rashes.

Phenergan also prevents motion sickness, and treats nausea and vomiting or pain after surgery. It is also used as a sedative or sleep aid.

yeah u can get some ANTIHISTIME drugs over the counter, i was actually gonna get one once, but on the pack says mainly for HAYFEVER ITCH and stuff. Sedative property of the drug seems to be only a secondary effect of the medicine.

i decided to leave it alone, because i didnt know if it was the right thing to take.Because it wasnt specifically desinged for a sleeping aid

i dont know though is upto you

I've been trying Piriton (drowsy anti-histimines) for a few weeks but not really sure if it's helping me.

Got the Phenergan from Boots over the counter..

beer and Night Nurse did the job last night.   A bit foggy today though. [>o]

Had cronic insomnia years ago and camomile tea seemed to cure it.
Nowadays if I've been missing out on me zeds I take a lorazepam tablet..100% guaranteed to do the trick. It will probably end up being addictive in the sense that I'll find it impossible to sleep without it but as Sir Clement Freud said: there's nothing wrong with being addicted to sleepers as long as you've got sleepers(or words to that effect).
good enough for him-good enough for me.

Delete your Betfair account (if you can)

You're obviously just addicted to chatting $hite on here

Says you cv

Yes. I don't suffer from insomnia so....

lorazepam tablet..

must get my hands on some of them.[:)]

I generally take one or two cryptic clues from a crossword ( in me head ) to bed . The only bu**er is when you solve one soon after the cranium hits the cotton and have to get up again to fill it in .

Here's one " pepperless pinrods flourished". Must away  now to bed . Ironic that yer nic  is sofa king which is where I regularly wake up if I've pissed off the Missus.

Just replyin back.. Phenergan  didnt work on me,get some Zopiclone (zimovane) off your doc..

medications only succeed in replacing one problem with another

Go to a links Golf Course and play 2 rounds of Golf. You should be so knackered that you will sleep for a week. Perhaps this may result in severe back pain and your doc will adminster tramadol that will help you sleep like Rip Van Winkle.On the bright side you should be up early on a Saturday and been on Pricewise for shops opening and been the one and only person to get the 33/1 on Evens and Odds and be able to supply this site with loads of winners. Now get to bed

Read a couple of pages of the spurs files.

watch baseball

So why do you spend so much time posting on the Spurs threads, Corky?   you suffering from insomnia too?
