Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I took a sleep aid called Alteril, to try to relax for the day. i ended up taking some xanax along with it.. and when it came to bedtime at around 1 in the morning, i wasnt tired at all. so i took 2 benedryl and still was not tired.
Im feeling very insecure right now. i feel like ive harmed my body. please help me out
Every now and then I take 2 capsules at bedtime to help me sleep, what are some side effects of taking valerian root, besides feeling very sleepy the day after?
I have a jack russell/unk mix 10 months old and an 1/2 american bulldog 1/2 unkown… and they go to bed around 11:00 p.m. and get up about 9:30 AM… then they play rough for an hour, eat, drink… and go back to sleep from like 11 Am to 1 PM… get up and play until about 2:00… sleep until 4… go back to seep about 5:30… play rough until around 7, get a walk, and then lay around and play a little until bedtime. This seems like too much sleeping to me. I have had them since they were both 8 weeks and this has been the pattern forever. I just thought as they got older they slept more… at this rate my dogs will ONLY sleep when they are older. 
Sorry for the long explanation… Just curious how much your dog sleeps?
they do eat and drink more than I mentioned… just thought I should add that in!
My doctor said to take 1 tablet a half hour before bedtime, and that was an hour ago, he also said I could take another tablet if I needed to… Thoughts?
My reason for taking 5-htp is for a general mood boost…i’ve been very down and defensive for the past year, but not so much so that I cannot function throughout the day, or that i’d need a presciption. So far, i’ve only felt prominent nausea and slight drowsiness during the day after taking the pill. I’ve been taking them for about 2 weeks, 100mg two times a day…before bedtime and once sometime during the day. How long before the mood enhancing takes affect? Any tips on maximizing it’s effectiveness would be helpful as well.
I purchased a calcium supplement from hi-health and it suggests taking it "with fruit or juice at bedtime". I know there’s an ingredient that cause drowsiness, hence taking it at night. But I don’t understand why it should be taken with fruit or juice, or if that is even necessary. I’d appreciate any help!
Lately, I have been falling asleep around 10 and waking up at 3 am every morning. Everytime I wake up I usually have to pee. It’s hard to get back to sleep as well. How can I stop waking up every 5 hours? Besides the obvious don’t drink before bedtime. Thanks!
My 13 month old has always been a good sleeper once he’s asleep. However, the ONLY way he goes to sleep if he’s being held (for both naps and bedtime). If we put him in his crib even remotely awake, he will roll over, stand up in his crib and cry.
We live in an apartment so letting him cry is not an option because it’s very disruptive to our neighbors.
How can we help him fall asleep on his own?
It would be my first time taking it. I’ve been on Citalopram (Celexa) 10 mg for over a month now. I’m having a lot of trouble sleeping and my doctor prescribed me one pill of Trazodone/Desyrel at bedtime.

I can’t sleep at night and I want to take sleeping pills to help me fall asleep
I have tried EVERYTHING including natural things like melatonin, relaxing organic teas, avoiding tv/comp 2 hrs b4 bedtime etc…
If I start taking sleeping pills, will I become addicted to them, like where I HAVE to take them in order to fall asleep at night??
Now~ he works 12+ hour shifts
I stay home with our 2 kids so I expect him to do nothing around the house.
I cook, clean, take care of the kids +3 dogs (the best I can.. I fail miserably with the dogs sometimes~ no chance to walk them).. I make his lunch or dinner for work depending on day or night shift.. I do laundry~
Anyways, I am and have been having sleep problems for the last couple years. Have a hard time falling asleep (this started after having our son who needed to be fed every 2 hours the entire first year).. so my sleep patterns are screwed up royally~
Our kids are becoming early risers.. I could handle even 7 am.. I struggle big time with getting them up in the morning if the sun hasn’t even made a sliver of appearance yet.. like today for example.. My son woke up at 4:30 am when my husband got up for work.
Kids are 2 and 4. 2 year old is still needing to be put back in bed maybe 3 times after he is put in bed (it’s an age thing and he is learning)
My husband wants to help so I can somehow sleep better and not feel so overwhelmed that I can’t sleep until I pass out from exhaustion at 1 am. He wants to help so I am not so overwhelmed (which I am stressed lately~)
He suggested a few chores around the house~ I don’t feel right with that. He busts his azz at work.
What is appropriate here? I appreciate him wanting to help I just feel bad asking him to do anything around the house~
Guy that is perfect~ I wouldn’t feel bad with that. doing night time baths and bedtime? Is that good?
I have a 4 year old son who will not go to sleep unless I lay next to him.
I also have a 2 year old son with the same problem.
They have separate bedrooms.
My wife works evenings so bedtime falls on my shoulders.
Bedtime is a 2hrs ordeal every night.
Any help or suggestions on how to get them to fall asleep by themselves would be MUCH appreciated.
When did your baby start consistantly sleeping for more than two hours at a time? When did they start sleeping through the night? When did you put them on a nap and bedtime schedule? Is your baby formula or breastfed?
I have been having a really hard tiime sleeping and I’m only in the 5th week of pregnancy. A nurse at my doctors office told me to take a half of a pill of unisom at bedtime but i read something that said to talk to your doctor about taking unisom especially in your first trimester. I DONT’ WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HARM MY LITTLE ONE so im hesitant to take anything. What are your experiences with unisom during pregnancy for sleeping?
