How to fall asleep after a while of sleeping in?




Lately I’v been staying up late..so now school is coming around the corner and I hope to actually fall asleep 8 hours before I have to wake up. I can sleep, just that I sleep in WAY to much? So anything except comfortability that can help me fall asleep? Warm milk? Tea? Advil? Sleeping pills? Anything?

Sleep problems?




Ok, I have had sleeping problems since birth. Ive had insomnia since I was a child, always had to take sleeping pills. So I have been taking the sleeping pill Clonidine for about 5 years, now and every so often I have to up the mg. So now I have to take 2 and along with that Advil PM. Ive expressed my concerns with my doctor and they don’t help, they just give me other sleeping pills to try, all of which don’t work. I’m getting fed up, I mean ive even tried the warm milk, yoga, reading a book, hot bath thing. You name it, I’ve tried it.

What should I do? lol sorry….
Ive tried the Melatonin, and the tea. It didn’t help.

Can I take melatonin before my tonsillectomy?




I’m getting a tonsillectomy in about 2 weeks and it says don’t take any Advil but I was wondering if I could still take my melatonin (a sleep aid). Would it be safe?

I think I am, because I have been taking a prescription sleeping pill for about 5 years or more, and every so often I have to up the dose. Now it’s gotten to the point that I have to take 2 Advil pm’s along with my prescription sleeping pills……it’s so frustrating, It’s like I need horse tranquilizers or something lol.

So all I’m asking is that is possible for the body to build up a tolerance to pills?

I’ve done this a few times. I have a REALLY hard time falling asleep and I either took benadryl, advil pm, or simply sleep to help fall asleep around 12 or 1am. I had to get up at 6 for work and drink a red bull on the way to work. Is that spaced out enough to where it would be okay? I would never take sleeping pills at the same time as an energy drink.
Thanks! I talked to a pharmacist and she said it was okay, but since its not 8 hours may make me a little confused or jittery. She said I should stop napping and cut out the sleeping pills and I should be fine.

I’m a tosser and have trouble sleeping.. when I take Advil PM (or tylenol PM.. barely different) I find that I sleep really well! But I have sore shoulder the day after and I’m guessing it is because I don’t toss and change positions as I would without the medication.

Anyone else experience this?

(I’m just getting a general reaction in the area of pain/discomfort in the morning, not looking for sleep aid advice)
