I cant sleep!

lately i cant seem to sleep at nite.. i m worrying about things that not only do i have no control over but ALSO cant solve at midnite..but i cant seem to relax and as each day goes by im more and more exhausted, as soon as i go home i cant even keep my eyes open so around 530pm im ready for a nap--i try to stay awake until 10ish and by then im so "past tired" that i never sleep and the cycle starts all over again...any tips?...

i was thinking of taking tylenol pm but i kno if u dont get a full 8 hrs on it u wake up super groggy not sure what to do

Re: I cant sleep!

I was in a similar cycle a few weeks ago. I would take one tylenol pm every couple of days, just to get me settled enough to fall asleep and stay asleep. I don't recall waking up groggy. It took a few days to feel rested again.

Good luck!

Re: I cant sleep!

I am sorry to hear you're not sleeping well... IMO, I would try more natural ways of falling asleep.. I have suffered the same thing and I found doing some deep breathing helped me to relax..

If that doesn't work, then I would say to try the tylenol PM-I would save that as a last resort though... JMHO

Good luck, I hope you feel better and get more rest soon!

Re: I cant sleep!

Did you try using a sound machine. No matter what medications I tried for my insomnia, using my sound machine or even sound CD's I bought at Target always conked me out.

Re: I cant sleep!

I go thru this all the time although for me its pretty bad so they put me on anti anxiety meds to help falling asleep. Its has worked. I just have a really hard time settling down especially if Im not really tired. I never drink any caffeine that makes it worse, Sleeping pills had the opposite effect on me. Sorry Im not much of help.
