Okay, I have a few test coming up..papers due and a career change coming very soon. Anyway, i'm a bit stressed.
Sometimes when I try to sleep I can't help but think about everything I need to do. I can't stop. ...it's a cycle, when I swim, i'm less stressed, but when it does creeps up on me I don't swim in he morning because i'm too tired in the morning to go, and I need to be rested for work which just makes me antsy the next day and so on. Well, I end up skipping days and days at the pool. Frustrating.
Swimming in the morning is usually the only time to go to be sure I can get a spot. How can I get myself to go in the morning, how can I sleep better at night? Have any of you come up with any strategies for this?
Cheers, :coffee:
Eric
:confused: I thought decongestants were uppers and antihistamines were downers. Decongestants don't make me sleepy. Allergy meds do though ...
Melatonin does absolutely nothing for me. I must have a wretchedly guilty conscience ...
I think I'm thinking of the correct thing (though, admittedly, that doesn't mean much anymore). Perhaps I'm thinking of things that are a combo of the two? Cold medicines that get rid of stuffiness are great for letting me breathe but rotten in that they make it so I can't sleep. The WORST is Benadryl. I've never been more miserable in my life than when I took Benadryl. I was sooo freakin' tired I wanted to lay in a heap but my heart was racing like I was in the middle of a sprint so relaxing was impossible. Maybe that's more normal than I thought--but whenever the label warns you not to drive because the medicine might make you drowsy I seem to have the opposite effect.
