Sleepless in Lawrenceville

Do any of you have trouble with insomnia? I'm really having a problem with it on a regular basis. From talking with people my age (45) a lot of people seem to have the same problem. Any suggestions on how to overcome insomnia without drugs? :frustrated: Sincerely, Draculina

  • Why without drugs? The lack of sleep is going to do you more harm than one of the new offerings in sleep aid drugs. Yep! The only problem with ambien and lunesta is habituation/adiction if you are taking it non-stop over a long period of time. Plus, you might get an upset tummy. But if you only take it very occasionally or to get over a particularly bad spell, it is usually OK. Just be careful. Plus, if you use it too much and then stop, you can get rebound insomnia, another big ugly. These drugs are only meant for short term use. They stop working anyway after awhile and won't combat a night of "panic" in any event. Personally, I don't have any of the side effects if I take one. No groggy feeling the next day. (I took one the night before my 50 free at zones. If it's good enough for Michael Phelps ...) And I have never woken up in the middle of the night to cook or drive around town. I can't believe how the comedians have gone to town on these two rare side effects ...
