Sleep aids

Do you use anything to help sleep? I've found a Benadryl at bedtime clears up my sinuses and knocks me on my butt.

I have used Advil PM or tylenol PM. I tried the herbal supplement Valarian, but it did not react well with the prescribed anti anxiety med I was taking, so I went off it.

I think I am like Marie, I take something for the stress and don't use anything else. I half it all the time anyway.....................it helped stop the weight loss though, I stabilized.

If I am sore from something, I take some ibuprofen before bed.

Yes, a little wine before bedtime

And if it is a weekend a little more wine

A little wine in the evening can help but it doesn't seem to give me good sleep.

a LOT of wine helps more

I sleep pretty well most nights, only waking perhaps once or maybe twice a night. Occasionally have a night of insomnia, when worrying about something. I usually find that routine and closure of the days events helps me sleep better.

A vigorous "ham shank" works for me.

....I'll get my coat

I envy you woppy. I haven't had a full nights sleep in 2 years.

Last night I went to sleep at 11 and was wide awake by 2.30. I am now exhausted.

I have tried over the counter remedies, prescribed drugs, herbal etc but nothing helps. My doc tells me I have an overactive brain! lol

Now there's a diagnosis you don't expect!
