Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
i have never taken sleeping meds before. i was prescribed ambien today, and the literature i got from the pharmacy says to take it at least 2 hours after eating. i normally have a light meal before bed… so what is going to happen if i eat now and then take one of my pills?
If i take 10 pills will i get a gud sleep? i booze beer does it effect the pills in any ways?
Sleep deprivation, 
no pills at all please.
t takes 1-3 hours for me to fall asleep once I lay in my bed.
I ate taco bell tonight beef soft tacos. Is the beef giving me to much energy?
However Im exhausted and I just want to sleep so bad its pissing me off
What can I do besides pills and warm milk
I have an extremely bad period, and on one of my previous questions I was told that it’s ridiculous that my mom won’t take me to the doctor. It’s pissing me off because I’m concerned that it could be something serious — I simply want to check if it’s something serious or nothing to worry about, but she yells at me saying she doesn’t want to pay 60$ to be told that I should go on birth control. I mean, I don’t really want to go on it either because I don’t want it to screw with my hormones. But there’s got to be other things to help it, right? Every month I have to deal with: Being bent over and moaning with pain, throwing up the whole first day, being nauseous for the 2 days following, and I’m taking painkiller as often as I can for the whole 8-10 days (10 days once but haven’t had it for that long recently, so basically 8-9 days) of my period.
The past month, I’ve been less hungry. It’s not that I don’t mind making something to eat, no problem. I just don’t feel like eating anymore. Most of the time I’ll go a whole day without eating until dinner. It might be because I never see my parents anymore and then when I do, they ignore me.
I’ve been asking my mom to take me to the doctor constantly since last month — I was at my dad and stepmoms house in Arizona when I got my last period and she said "Maybe I should talk to a doctor". Well… that never happened. Now she keeps talking about homeopathic bullcrap. The only thing she got me were some pharmacy vitamins that are basically like giant Smarties. I stopped taking those last week because I now have a really bad cankor sore. Tonight I got mad at her for ignoring me and she told me to take some stupid homeopathic stress relief pills. But now I’m dizzy as eff, and that’s probably not good. I don’t know if this helps, but I also have some homeopathic sleeping pills because I have insomnia. They don’t work so I just deal with it.
Basically my mom is pissing me off because: She’s putting me on homeopathic bullcrap that DOESN’T work and won’t take me to the doctor because of my horrifyingly bad period because she doesn’t want to be told about birth control, when there could actually be something very wrong with me. Advice please???

Also, the glands in my jaw/neck area hurt a bit. Something to ignore?

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.

whats next putting a warning on blood pressure pills that reads WARNING MY CAUSE A DROP IN BLOOD PRESSURE!.
I am an insomniac. It takes me an hour, minimum, to get to sleep. Usually, it’s more. On a bad night, I never actually feel like I fall asleep at all – I remain in a half-awake mode, tossing and turning. Typically though, it takes me around two hours to fall asleep. Once I am asleep I don’t wake up – but curiously, I never seem to remember dreaming at all. This is probably because my REM cycles are disturbed by getting less sleep, and therefore having less opportunity to dream.
I have tried a lot of things to help me fall asleep faster. I have tried the muscle tensing technique, meditation, visualization of a single object, reading before bed, drinking warm milk before bed, trying relaxing activities before bed. I don’t read in my bedroom – my bed is exclusively for sleeping, as I have read that when you do other things during the daytime in your bedroom, it creates negative connections. When I get regular exercise during the day, it helps a little, but my insomnia is so bad that the difference it makes is negligible. I rarely go to sleep before 12, and during the school year, I have to get up at 6 every day.
There are several reasons why I want to reduce my insomnia. Obviously, more sleep creates better alertness during the day, and I hate being in that loopy sleep-deprived mode all the time. I want to be able to start dreaming again. Point is, I am so frustrated with my insomnia that I don’t know what to do. Should I go to a sleep lab and be interred there for a night, or what? Are there other methods that are more effective for worse cases of insomnia? This isn’t a nuisance – I have been a bad insomniac for 2 years straight. Until now, I’ve been just trying to live with it, but I’ve run out of options. What should I do? I am hesitant to take pills, because I know of their addictive nature, and I know that they create dependency. But will I have to, in the end? Please help this sleep-deprived soul!
I heard that ambien has a generic form that just came out. If it did, does anynody know what the name of it is. Or what it looks like? I recently got a refill on a rx and had a friend pick it up. My pills looked different, when I asked him about it, he said that this was the generic form of ambien. Just curious if anyone knew anything about it.
Thanks in advance!
these pills are round and a light green color. (5mg)
I’ve been having a tough time getting to sleep. My parents won’t let me buy pills, and I’ve tried counting sheep. 
Is there some way that i can fall asleep easier? Thanks!
I just can’t sleep at night! In the day, I’m exhausted, I won’t wake up until 4pm, and then I’d take half an hour naps then too. I feel tired, and I tried putting music on and I just. can’t. sleep. Where I am right now, its 2.26 am, and I woke up at 5pm after sleeping at 8.30am. I don’t wanna take any hard-core pills where I’d be knocked out for 12 hours straight or anything. Earlier I fell asleep listening to a song, but then I woke up about 20 minutes later and after that I couldn’t go to sleep. Just suggest some cures, and if there is a pill that’s not too strong,please tell me what it is.
Thanks in advance. x
hey, ‘peace’, nope i dont work at midnight, not under any stress (that i am aware of) and thanks, good luck to you too.
I’ve had trouble sleeping lately so i take pills sometimes to help me sleep. Lots of depressing thoughts flood my mind over the next few hours/days. Is this a normal side-effect?
