Sleeping issues

[jooker6951]

Good morning all. Anyone out there that can help me. I,m 32 6 ft 225 work out 3 times a week hard with weights, 2 days a week cardio and abs about every day. My question is I have a problem falling asleep and if I do staying asleep. I really dont want to take any sleeping meds. I dont drink no caffeine, dont smoke great diet, and caffeine hard. I know a good nights sleep is key.

Some years back I had the same issues with sleep, I got some self-hypnosis tapes from Peter Siegel and they made a huge difference. It was about shutting down the mind and relaxing. Good Luck!

Alot of stress in our daily lives can make it difficult to sleep. Sometimes I go to bed with alot on my mind. Maybe those self hypnosis tapes can help. Melatonin works for me or tylenol pm.

go to the health food store and get the subligual melatonin. works 5 times as good as the normal pilz and faster too. Tastes like peppermint. Stuff works. I am a non sleeper too.

i don't know if you take naps, but i find taking naps messes up my sleep schedule. try to get a routine of what time you are going to go to bed every night and what time you are going to wake up every morning. see if that helps. i wish you the best as i know it sucks when you don't get enough sleep.

Ill take all that into consideration, also I was wondering if I can take xanax to help me sleep while on gear or should I stay away from it.

Not sure what problem you have with meds if they are going to help you. Ambien works wonders. If you have a headache do you not take medicines? Maybe you don't but unless this is based on some sort or religious belief I say, if someone went to the trouble to invent them and they can solve a short term problem, why should you withhold it from yourself?

There is, of couse, counting sheep.

Lunesta works better than Abmbien as you don't build a tolerance up to it.

Not to change the subject from the initial thread, but why is it better? I use Ambien CR and it wors soooo well except sometimes that second layer has a habit of kicking in a bit late, so I wake up feeling great and an hour later when the layer kicks in I just wanna go back to bed!

When I asked my doctor about Lunesta he said it was all the same and then asked me which one I wanted. Cause the Ambien works so well I decided nmot to switch. Tell me why u think its better and you might have made a new customer for the Lunesta people.

I'm an insomniac...I use a 6mg melatonin to aid in me falling asleep. it's also a natural chemical that is produced in the body and yours might be low. start out with a 3mg pill at first.
