So the Dr. prescribed some crazy pharmaceutical sleep aid that was later documented as the cause for people sleepwalking, sleepdriving, sleepmakingahamsandwich and sleepcursingsomeoneout. When I sw the news story I was scared, I mean, did I do anything like sleepmoonpeople from the 7th floor window of my bedroom? So I switched to herbal remedies and I was out like a light in ten minutes, fully dressed, on the sofa, sitting up ready for duty by 5am.<BR/><BR/>See if it works...even if it sounds old ladyish : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096607125458467335.post-47618243691381612642008-07-15T13:38:00.000-05:002008-07-15T13:38:00.000-05:00Yeah, that does suck.

Both my little thugs are rotten and salt can't save 'em. As for the children's Benadryl, I have the adult formula. I've debated on using one, I just don't wanna start medicating myself just yet, but I may be going there if shit doesn't turn around soon.<BR/><BR/>Chatti one, I'm not an intelligent person, but I play one on Blogosphere.

Plug in the iPod and listen to Enya, Peter, Paul & Mary, Simon & Garfunkle. Anything smooth and calm and relaxing. I lay with eyes shut and breathe and relax. That's when I shhhh myself.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about that, guy.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810547322546039254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096607125458467335.post-77000148315205592792008-07-14T06:49:00.000-05:002008-07-14T06:49:00.000-05:00Yea, I feel you on this.

I typically turn on the tv for a bit and let my mind just kinda wander until eventually I doze off.Darius T.

The first time I tried it, I started at 100. That was too easy, my brain could do the counting and still race. You have to start with a big number so you have to concentrate. If it's still too easy try the alphabet backwards.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I know it sounds stupid, but it worked for me.....and trust me, my brain has had plenty to race about in the past year.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get some rest soon.mama biscuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550767404368338645noreply@blogger.com
