Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I work swing shift 16 hours a day and recently when i get home i cant sleep more then a couple hours at a time ! I’ve always worked swing shift so i don’t think that is the reason. I rently changed my diet to low calorie dot all i eat is a bowl of special k, turkey sandwich, and a salad with a piece of fruit.
It’s 4:15 now I have to get up by 7:30. When I only sleep a couple hours I feel like crap in the morning but when I pull an all nighter I don’t feel as bad. Though I am tired now. So, what’s better? couple hours of sleep or none?
My Pomeranian has been acting sleepy and lethargic for the last couple hours. He’s also keeps sticking his backside up in the air in a stretching motion. He’s does this motion often when stretching but this is different, could he be constipated or have a stomach ache?
I drunk a frozen coffee a couple hours ago…and had an immediate headache. I layed down and after an hour it was over. The thing is I just drunk a half a cup of it. I should also mention I have been laying off of caffeine for about 6 months now? Just wondering if this is normal and what everyone else’s experiences are with this.
I don’t go out of control. We’re talking maybe 1 bottle of wine a night, then 1 or 2 Lunestas a couple hours later.
It says don’t mix on the literature I got, but I’m just asking because I mix stuff all the time and nothing happens. I think it’s only dangerous if you really over do it. Like 10 Lunestas and 2 bottles of vodka or something like that. But maybe someone with medical knowledge can tell me if that’s true.
I like to drink soda at night but the kind I drink (Coke Zero) doesn’t come in caffeine-free. I cut myself off a couple hours before bed, but do I need to do it even earlier? I have a lot of trouble sleeping which I know is not just due to caffeine, but I guess might be partially. Thanks!
My boyfriend has 100mg seroquel that he just started on today. We gave him one this morning, a couple hours ago, and now he is passed out snoring. I then read online, you should administer at bed time. This is not a serious side effect is it?
I’ve heard anecdotes from people who have dreams that feel several times longer than the couple hours that you can actually spend dreaming each night – these range from days to weeks to years. Is there some cocktail of substances or certain conditions that will make dreams feel much longer than they really are?
I’m actually not trying to do this myself (though you have to admit, it would be fun). I’m just curious about what is causing these strangely long dreams, not really trying to replicate the experience. Thank you.
We are needing to clean out my dogs ears as they are really bothering him. The only thing he is ADAMANT that we don’t do so. He’s a very close to the ground, sturdy dog so he is hard to wrangle. We want to get a safe sleeping pill to konk him out for a couple hours so we can clean his ears out without him freaking out on us. Does anyone know of a good, safe pill for this?
To everyone saying you can’t give a dog a sleeping/anxiety pill to make them sleep or at least sleepy-like is wrong…The vet has done this to my dogs before and I can’t afford to go to the vet. So I was looking for a safe one I could give my dog instead of paying the OUTRAGEOUS prices they charge. Thank you to everyone truely trying to help.
Hi there-
Recently diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea. Also it has been stated that I am not staying in REM sleep for any useful length of time.
I usually sleep very little at night…always have been nocturnal.
I sleep best during the day. But the last 5 months have been rough.
I only stay asleep for a couple hours and then feel hyper and irritable when I get up.
New diagnosis of sleep apnea and very poor amount of REM Sleep.
I am doing a titration study tonight with c-pap machines to see what volume works for me.
I would like to hear from others on how if at all treatment has helped?
If your situation is similar to mine as far as minimal amounts of sleep with diagnosis of apnea?
What can I expect with treatment. Some have said they feel better right away. Others have said it takes awhile. I would like to hear anyone else’s experience with this.
Thank you.
PS…Do you ever adjust to life with that machine stuck on your nose?
And is there sex after c-pap even if your significant other doesn’t have a thing for Darth Vader breath sounds?
sometimes i sleep like a log and other times i have bouts of insomnia.
last night got some sleep, but the night before heck no sleep at all, but that was prob cause i had one heck of a bad day. and was trying to figure out how to fix things in my mind because my mind would not shut down enugh to let me sleep.
sat night i got a really good nights sleep.
but last friday night no sleep at all was awake all night finally just watched tv till i caught a couple hours.
i talked to my dr on friday he said it was nothing to worry about but hell i worry about stuff yes sometimes too much but this is serious.
i need to fix this and i really dont want to take pills.
i cant take herbs and things either
dont drink milk
and counting sheep dont help
i just have to figure out how to relax and sleep,
i used to sleep like a rock, but some nights for the last couple months i have not been sleeping well, could be the heat i dont know.
could be one of my medications too.
not depressed and not anxious or overly worried about anything.
life is good except for a couple things and they will be fixed soon i hope.
i’m getting along just fine with my family and my b/f so there are no worries there
its like i have just run out of energy and sometimes even when iam bloody exusted i still cant sleep.
i know some of it is the heat my friend told me to move to a cooler climate
oh well when the heat is gone then it will be too cold to sleep in my room without 6 or 7 blankets on me as i sleep under a window and it gets cold here in the winter.
i just dont know what to make of this, any suggestions would be helpful
thanks
oh yeah it seems like i go thru a period like this in my life every year this not sleeping thing.
no i have not given up caffine but i have cut way back on the amount of it i drink in the last 2 and a half months i have been gradualy reducing the amount of caffinated soda i drink. iam now down to maybe half of what i used to drink.
hey maybe you hit the nail on the head.
and i have allergies so sprays and perfumy things wont help me any.
today i got my weekly allergy shots (i get 2 every week), and they said that they were increasing my concentration today. it got a little redder than normal, but i was fine. an hour later, i fell asleep for a couple hours and woke up with a fever around 100. could this be caused by the shots? or am i just getting sick?
the past weeks havent been that tired, I exercise alot, but i dont get tired. when i do sleep i toss and turn and wake up every couple hours. Ive been sleeping around 3am nowadays and still wake about regularly at 9.
I am not very keen on flying. When it comes to sitting on an airplane it seems to take forever. I have a trip to europe coming up in a week and I am looking into buying some sleeping tablets to knock me out for a couple hours of the flight. Any suggestions on which work the best??
I’m working on writing a short story that involves kidnapping and such. I need to find a way to keep the victim completely unconscious with little chance of waking up for a couple hours. And when they wake up, to not be able to remember much. I was thinking about having the captor use sleeping pills because they are easy to come by and not hard to understand. So, will a couple sleeping pills slipped into a soda be enough to knock out the victim and keep them unconscious?
