Insomniac support and tips
#21
RE: Insomniac support and tips
I have trouble sleeping occasionally now.  Mostly I just wake up too early.  It's worse now because with my wonky knee I can't exercise as much.  I take cyclobenzaprrine many nights to help me sleep in.  It's just a muscle relaxant but it seems to keep me comfortable enough not to wake up too early.

Rarely now I'll have trouble getting to sleep at all.  Then I just deal with it the next day.  But the next night I'll take a zolpidium, generic for ambien.  I also take one the night before my wife travels.  She always packs all night and it lets me sleep anyway.

There are nights I would kill to get half that much.

Just use sleep aids. Smile

Becoming mentally exhausted works for me.

RE: Insomniac support and tips
I average about 3 hours of sleep a night. I have 7 alarms set on my phone (2-3 minutes apart) to ensure that I actually wake up in the morning. If I sleep 4 hours, I'll wake up on my own or at the the first alarm, and feel reasonably energetic throughout the day.

If I get 5 hours of sleep, I'm goddamned Superwoman; virtually unstoppable. Co-workers stare at me like they're thinking:
"Is this bitch high?"
