Dealing with a bad bout of it the past week. Can't sleep and when i do I sleep maybe a hour or two and then wake up unable to sleep the rest of the day again. It's really starting to get old. Just thought I would share since it is after 5am locally and I am bored out of my mind and unable to sleep again. Soon as I lay down my eyes pop open and I am wide awake again.... ug. Ok yeah this is just a post due to my sleep deprived state and likely won't make much sense to anyone or me later, but meh.

Man that version of Troy is long, almost 3 and 1/2 hours. Best Buy had it for 6 bucks locally for fathers day. Err anyways been watching a lot of movies needless to say.

It stimulates too much. 2) do not vary the time at which you go to sleep, because it will upset your sleep patterns. 3) keep light out of room 4) do not eat prior to going to bed 5) do not drink alcohol prior to going to bed, it may make you tired but it will upset your sleep. 6) no caffeine/limit caffeine intake. 7) plan for a restful environment: no kids in the bed, no husbands/boyfriends pawing you in the night. if you are in bed and having problems falling asleep: take deep breaths and exhale very slowly. It will relax your mind and body, so you can fall asleep. This can really work. 9) my idea: drink milk for the trictophan Hope this helps. Good luck! Otherwise, you can always medicate with Ambien. But I dont like taking drugs. "...In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing... "

Lately it's not so bad, though. A couple things that have helped me: Listening to relaxing music. I usually use New Age, ambient techno/electronica, or very mellow Classical. I keep the volume low, but still loud enough so that I can actually hear the music. There are a lot of "nature sounds" cds out there available for cheap. Letting the mind wander about something non-stressful. I sometimes just brainstorm about campaign or adventure ideas, but keep things abstract rather than really planning stuff out (and definitely don't write anything down!). Sometimes this works to relax me enough so that I can finally sleep. Hope you get back to sleeping ok soon.

But normally it is not to bad, a few days a month and thats normally it. Just for some reason this month it is been going on a week straight. But thanks for the advice guys. I was just venting and stuff. Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Its nominally used for depression, etc... but my Doc put me on it a couple of years ago for chronic pain and insomnia, and my sleep has been much better since. Not perfect, but much better. Plus once I get to sleep I feel like I sleep very deeply. Maybe it can work for you.

I play it every night as I go to sleep. After a while I found that it will now put me to sleep anytime I hear it. Not sure if it would work for you but it helps me. Yes, I run 4th ed. and yes I am okay with that. Nym

No health insurance. Its $4 as Ametriptyline at Wal MArt. $10 for a 90 day supply. Need a doctors script, though. Nortriptyline is just one of a half dozen trade names for it. Edit: Actually I am not positive you need a script for it, just likely, since I have never noticed it as an "over the counter". Then again, I have never looked.
