Sleep aids

[omcforever]

I take 1 trazadone 1/2 hour before bed. Lights out.

[ScottOz]

drowsy is kind of the point aint it??

I thought the same thing

[printman71]

Benadryl here. Melatonin has never worked for me.

[NAMVET1968]

I can tell you what can happen to some people that have taken Ambien but not on here. That stuff can make some people do some very crazy things. Doesn’t effect everyone that way but I ain’t chancing it! I take Restoril

Soooooooooo they got elected ??

Let me first ask is your trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?

[waknbass]

melatonin + Suntheanine

Benadryl here. Melatonin has never worked for me.

My recommendation is to skip the advil pm’s due to the taxing on your liver. Go straight to pure Diphenhydramine which is the chemical in Advil PM’s that makes you sleepy. Nyquil sells it as a sleep aid.

Benadryl has 25Mg of diphenhydramine in each tablet IIRC, if you have tried that and it doesn't work for you check out what Lewstool mentions about the pineal gland, he will help you get some sleep

[Mick2268]

I like a Z-quil or two before a tourney or a long drive.

melatonin

That stuff works been taking it for about dang 25 years, come to find out it’s not healthy for you.
Its bad side
Will give you high blood pressure,
Maybe that’s where mine came from.
Weight gain
That was my fault, in process fixing that
Constipation
No
I think there’s few other things.
Ive quit taking it, and last 2 nights went back to ambien , I use exercise and proper food choices , and get off the ambien in long term , have done it before.

If Falling asleep is your main issue I recommend 25MG of Doxylomine Succinate. It is an OTC that can be purchased at Walmart for $4.99 for 32 tablets. If you also have an issue staying asleep I recommend buying Alexa or something that can play White noise of your choice while you sleep. The other tip for staying asleep is to increase the humidity in your room with a room humidifier.

Falling asleep! I typically hit the sack around 1am daily. But when I am fishing the next day, I try to get at least 5 hours. I go to bed, and lay awake for 1or 2 just staring at the ceiling! So I end up fishing on 3 hours sleep or less. Not good! So, I'm looking for something that will help me fall asleep, but not make me drowsy when I get up! I really don't want to use a drug if possible!

I used Ambien several years ago but one day I was really depressed for no apparent reason, on the verge of crying. I told my wife, she told me that's one side effect of Ambien. I called my Pharmacist since my Doc was off that day. The Pharmacist told me to quit taking it and talk to my doc. He prescribed Restoril, made me sleep like a baby! Last year I weaned myself off sleep aids totally, it's been at least 7-8 months since I took the last one. My issue was getting my brain turned off, thinking about everything instead of going to sleep. The Restoril did that for me...

No cold showers at night, add a hot shower in the evening, get some fresh air a hour or two before sleep, turn the screens and tv off at least 30 minutes before bed.

[Cajunhunter67]

It all depends on why your looking at the ceiling? Don't feel tired? Brain won't stop working?
If you just never feel tired, try Lunesta. Will need a prescription. If your brain wont stop...thats me. I take a half Clonazepam and a Melatonin. No drowsy feeling. Just fall asleep as I should.

The Lunesta will make you help you fall asleep without the side effects of Ambien.

1 Acetaminophen (Tylenol) PM (store brand), plus 10mg Melatonin (and a good root if you can arrange it) will lead to a good night's sleep. If you drink alcohol in the evening hours, it will ensure that you get up during the night for a potty break or two.

PS: NEVER watch any TV news before bed...it'll just get your mind curning and PO'd.

[xcoach]

Ambien can make you do some crazy stuff, it affects some but not others, be careful. I am speaking from experience.

[Walkabout7781]

When not listening to the “Houserent Blues” I use Lunesta. Did Ambien for awhile but really got worried about the loppiness that came with it. You know those stories of people sleep driving or sleep shopping I believe them 99%.

What is "loppiness"? Dictionary.com didn't help at all...no such word.

[LewStulePH.D.]

Has "tug one out until a husky load is produced" been offered yet? This works best if'n You don't need 'Ol Blue™' to get it working, if this were the case You'd be using a 'whole handful' before ni ni...

Ambien™ will also steal Your dreams I'd do the punchie before this...
