Anyone here have insomnia

[THE PROFIT]

It's proven that exercising before bed is not good. Hell, it's just common sense!

[texashighroller]

Get about 3 hours of sleep on most nights

[Sawyer]

I go to bed at 8 AM. (1:00 PM According to US Time)
I wake up at 3 PM, LoL! (8 AM According to Us Time)

Considering that all those sleep pills in the world can't help me sleep consistently, no, I don't have anything that can be diagnosed by doctors, I just have problems sleeping unless I drink myself to sleep or blackout whatever you want to call it.

Me too man, though I do suffer from anxiety, undiagnosed because I refuse to be a pill popper, but I know it's there much more than the average person. Only 1/2 a bottle of booze seems to make it go away...

Brock, Ambien makes a 12mg pill. Are you taking the 6mg pill?

Insomnia is brutal. I suffered for a year straight and made some minor adjustments and it went away.

i take the 12.5 ** ambein CR pill, the regular ambien i have, which lasts for 4 hours, i believe is 10MG. the thing is now, i can't figure out how to stop taking it, i think i am stuck. Withdrawal from it would be bad, would need a few weeks with nothing to do and nowhere to go including work, in order to clean out that shit from my system, weening off it is tough, almost impossible when you are on it long enough.

fuk your GF when you want to fall asleep, i always wanted to pass the fuk out after i finish fuking.

Add Melatonin to that and you got yourself a guaranteed insomnia remedy.

[ttwarrior1]

melatonin is crap

[SBR_John]

The time release melatonin like 20mg works for me. Not a deep sleep though. I use it on flights to Asia. Plus zero side effects.

Yeah, if you're not a complete fukk it'll work. You just need to relax. If you're some hyper degenerate watching sports highlights over and over again, nothing will work.

[shady610]

insomnia is just like ocd and migraines.. people just think they have it because they have slight symptoms

[Indecent]

There's nothing "slight" about a migraine. There are bad headaches, but a bad headache isn't a migraines. I've never had a headache feel like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the eyeball. If you've had a migraine, you know how much it sucks. If you haven't, be thankful.

I do get your point and it is true to a certain extent. People who have some problems sleeping may diagnose themselves as an insomniac.

[THEGREAT30]

Another rough one. Don't know if I got 2 or 3 hrs of sleep last night. Someone woke me up saying that I had something important to do early today and I can't go back to sleep. I think anxiety is atleast half of my issue. That's probably why I have no interest in actually watching a sports game that I am wagering on.

[MC PICKS]

Blueghost is right. I worked swing shift in the casinos for 10 years and he's right it does take years off your life. I used to start work anywhere between 7-11 pm and get home and sleep for 3 to 4 hours in the morning. Then if I was lucky, I'd be able to grab an hour or two nap in the late afternoon/early evening before work. I havent worked outside the house for 4 years now and can never get a normal schedule going. Now I go to sleep around 9-11 pm on average and wake up at 2-4 am on average. Then I grab another nap from 9-11 am on average and wake up at 2-4 pm on average. Once a week I'll sleep till 6-7am from the night before and I'll stay up all day and start the whole process again. It doesn't bother me at all since I'm so used to it.

[Ced's shadow]

True, once you're used to something it'll never come out, for example, I don't sleep during night time on my day off because I'm already used to night-owling, nightshifting sincerely destroys you.

[Shortstop]

I used to have that RLS, haven't had it for a while (knock on wood) but it's annoying as hell.

You can't explain it to someone if they've never experienced it.

[Domestic]

Used to have it, found that exhausting myself physically during the day would allow me to finally get to sleep at a decent hour. I'm talking about running a few miles on the treadmill, nothing too intense.

[ttwarrior1]

tried the soap , worked one day, not sure if it was the soap or just no restless legs that night

[coldhardfacts]

Used to be a total insomniac until I quit my 9-5 job to become a professional gambler.

Now I sleep like a baby and take a nap every afternoon (except weekends).

[ttwarrior1]

if u have sleep trouble you can't take naps, otherwise i wouldnt have insomnia, gambling is more stressfull then any work ive ever done but i know thats not the reason, i dont gamble high stakes

[PayUpSukka]

yep...
Thats how i got into tennis and golf!

[ttwarrior1]

restless legs is hardcore tonight, hardcore

[Brock Landers]

I am taking ambien the rest of my life. I love it, could care less if I am addicted to it or not. It's my best friend!

looks like i'm in the same boat as you

Klonopin and Ambien CR for the forseeable future. Not sure how the fuk you are supposed to get off the shit, there is no such thing as cold turkey here, end up in an emergency room.

[ttwarrior1]

how much klonopin u take, i heard ambien give u nitemares

[Brock Landers]

.5 ** Klonopin
ambien never gave me any nightmares, thats gotta be bull shit

[chant815]

Does 'nocturnal emissions' count?

[LGBoots]

I have suffered from insomnia from years. It was kinda tolerable until some prick of a doctor decided to try me on sleeping medication.

I did not realize until a much later date that this crap is addictive & almost impossible to get off. Result being that I have been on loads of these medications . Ambien/Zopiclone/Valium.

At first they seem brilliant, then the reality starts to set in when they stop working & you have to up the dose to try & keep the things working

Result is 5 years down the line I sleep a lot worse then before I started taking these things + I have to take a dose of Valium (About the only med left which still works a bit) to achieve this crappy sleep

I wish I was addicted to something like heroin as at least you can Cold Turkey off this, with sleeping meds once you have been on them a while it is almost impossible to break the cycle - believe me I have tried

My advice (FWIW) to anyone contemplating going on these meds is please DON'T you could be setting yourself up for years of misery like me

[Kav]

1:30am still cant sleep and i gotta wake up at 5:30am to go to work! insomnia i hate you so much!

[ttwarrior1]

bump, been up for 3 full days

[TheLock]

Turning off the TV and reading before bed cured my insomnia.

Sleep meds are a dangerous path.

[stealthyburrito]

yeah sometimes, nothing a bong rip can't cure though.

[ttwarrior1]

lol if you had to read and turn off tv, your insomnia couldn't of been too bad

[Reno Paul]

Melatonin and valerian root combined seems to work fine for me....

[ttwarrior1]

neither do anything for me ,, in fact makes it worse
