And it really worked! Except for the massive headache I had the next day. I did some reading and I think I just need a smaller dose. But after those two nights, I was back on a normal schedule without it and was doing okay. Until I read a book until 5:00 am. Because I am ridiculous and melatonin cannot help stupidity.Elise M.

The ONLY thing that has worked for me (besides ambien, with which I have a love-hate relationship) is acupuncture. I know, it sounds woo-woo as all get-out but it WORKS. (You need a good acupuncturist, though. The one I go to ONLY does acupuncture, i.e. he doesn't try to sell me herbs.) (For price concerns: my insurance doesn't pay for it, and it costs $60 a session. I usually go once a month. MIRACLE CURE for me. If I slack off, I need the prescription drugs again.)Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-37328800942012952102012-01-29T11:08:38.797-09:002012-01-29T11:08:38.797-09:00i take prescription drugs to sleep, but then it...i take prescription drugs to sleep, but then it's a lot about scribbling over physical pain for me. in REAL insomnia news... i did have proper insomnia before this and read up on all the stuff... SLEEP HYGIENE they call it, and there are a lot of instructions, from getting up every morning at the same time whatever time you went to bed to - well, loads of things. <br />what i CAN tell you is that listening to the world service at night is a REALLY BAD IDEA. the world service is NOT just radio 4 at night, it is a whole thing in itself, and includes horrible documentaries about war crimes and famines as well as really ugly music. to top it off, it has a theme tune at some horrible time in the morning before passing back over to R4 and perfectly sensible programmes like 'farming today'. the theme tune is VILE SEA SHANTIES and the like from all corners of our isles. nasty. and it tended to wake me up from whatever eventual slumbers i had achieved.Elaineaxtennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-26580925480879525422012-01-28T03:27:44.837-09:002012-01-28T03:27:44.837-09:00I wish I had an answer for you.

I'm lucky if I fall asleep before 6:00 a.m. Last night I got in bed at 10:00 and was like, "no pressure, you have hours to fall asleep before you get anywhere close to seeing the clock strike 6:00."<br /><br />I didn't see the clock strike 6, but that's just cuz I refused to look at it. I have no idea what time I feel asleep, but I woke up after two.Sarcasm Goddesshttp://4theluvofwriting.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-296503333176053902012-01-27T18:17:54.046-09:002012-01-27T18:17:54.046-09:00My mother takes melatonin about 30 minutes before ...My mother takes melatonin about 30 minutes before she wants to be asleep.
