How do you get to sleep at night?

Just lately I don't. It's just come into spider season and I keep finding monsters in my bedroom which scare me s***less! So I keep all the lights on, the TV's on - I even put bits of garlic round the room in case they're like vampires and don't come near it! My nerves are in shreds

Ambien CR is something I would definitely like to try, but the prescription plan won't pay for it right now. I have regular Ambien which works when absolutely needed.

I tried the regular Ambien and i t didnt work all night. The CR's keep me out all night

Make sure you keep your room clean & neat. Don't give them places to hide.

It's very rare I cant sleep. I learned this trick years ago. lay in bed, get comfy then close your eyes and imagine your laying on a sunbed and you can feel the heat of the sun on you.. then breath in, hold it for two or three seconds then breath out..keep doing it, in a few minutes your body starts to take over the slow breathing pattern and you automaticly relax and go to sleep. If your busy concentrating on the feel of the sun then you cant be thinking of all the other things that might keep you awake..

My doctor told me that I could take 2 at night, or if I take 1 & then wake up in the middle of the night to take another one. He gave the advice to me. I don't know if he would say that to anyone else & I don't know if there are different strengths prescribed.

You mean tidy up? Isn't that a little drastic?


Just kiddin'! Thanks for that. right back atya with the hugging!

LMFAO yeah way too drastic

i have to read for about an hour

I intoxicate myself with alcohol.

Turn on the radio, head hits the pillow, I'm out!

its easy when you are brainless

I push my fingers into my eyes, like in Slipknot <3 Duality.

Er no, I curl into the corner and hug my pillow, and then close my eyes tightly

Hey! I have a brain! It's made of wood, but I do have a brain!

I have to read for a while after logging off from my computer, then I just have to be super comfy
