Problems sleeping...any advice?
 

I broke up with my boyfriend 2 1/2 weeks ago, and since then I havent been able to get *any* sleep.

Like, I cant fall asleep until 4-7 in the morning and walk up 2-3 hours later. Im not getting into a deep sleep either, and I know its affecting me.

I dont want to take any meds for it, since I know a lot of times it messes it up further. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks :)

well start smoking weed or tylenol pm might help

That herbal crap, ummm whats it called again. Does seem to keep you asleep.

Though I honestly prefer an ambien-valium coctail, with a chronic chaser. Seems to do the trick. The valium though can and will give you very vivid dreams.

You need some new cock.

Not a weed person and I dont want to take medicine. Both things can be addicting.

melatonin?

ambien isnt addicting, but it doesnt keep you asleep, just gets you asleep.

I did that too, just wait a few weeks, nothing you can do really.

yeah

Hmm, someone else offered that advice also. Anyone use it before?

Green tea with honey.

Why not rosehip tea, it at least has a sleepy herb in it :winkwink:

mmm.yummy

Tea, warm milk or hard liquor.

warm milk

haha, I like rosehips

Just drink yourself to sleep. Drink 2 full glasses of water, take 2 advil, then get a bottle of gin or whiskey, just do a bunch of shots. Quick and painless, there's no way you can stay awake if you're passed out.

I drink soy milk.

and warm soy milk is nasty

Or you could cook & eat a turkey dinner and wait for the trypthothene (spelling unknown) to kick in.

beer + herbs.

Cheers everyone.

:glugglug

haha, thanks, and ill wake in up a drunked haze with my ankles near my ears

lol

<--doesnt eat meat

You could get a new boyfriend, that might do the trick :thumbsup

Personally, jerking it always makes me tired, then I'll pass out and be totally awake again in 30 minutes. So you might need to do it 8 or 9 times. Go buy some sex toys and go nuts.

Try some Sleepytime tea (chamomile with peppermint leaves and no sugar added) and take a melatonin with it. You'll be knocked out, not habit forming, and sleep for about 10 hours or so.

I warned you before in your "im gunna be a vegetarian" thread, now see what has happened, no boyfriend, cant sleep. Soon you shall shave your head, join PETA and buy your lingerie from the LL bean catalogue.

haha!

Yep, you got me.

But I would look horrible without hair. My heads too small, ick.

Double Jack Daniels and coke and a one night stand

Cough syrup (Nyquil night time) and melatonin. I've been doing it for five years, works great. You don't even have to drink that much cough syrup either, just like half the normal dosage is plenty.

valerian root also helps ya sleep...i hear a mixture of Kava root extract at 70% pure and valerain root extract is natures valium.. i need to try that one myself..lol

you can find these in any health food store..they come in tinctures (liquid form)..

good luck.. i suffer from not being able to sleep when i am out of weed.. :)

If you have allergies, the prescription Zyrtec which has to be taken at night will make you sleep

Read a book.

Melatonin! Ive been taking it for years. Sometimes it comes in 3mg which I think is too much, I usually take half of one or try and find a 1mg formula.

I find that it helps me get to sleep but my best friend was having problems like yours and it did the trick. The side affect is awesome dreams....but very rarely I have a vivid nightmare which I never had before taking melatonin.

It's easy, just work hard all day and wear yourself out!!
You probaly have a lot of energy or do not move around alot and the only cure is in actuality to wear yourself out!!

Yes it sucks, or take drugs:(

Melatonin is the wonder drug here. It's not really a drug, it's a hormone and it WORKS great. I had sleeping habits like you until I turned 20, pretty often missing a few days at a time. I take one of these cheap little tablets and in about a half hour I start feeling tired(a natural tired, like I just had a long run, not chemical tired). Then I'm out for about 8 hours and I wake up refreshed.

Yeah kava and valerian root certainly are fun. Large amounts of kavalactones are pretty psychoactive. You'll feel pretty doped up after taking some of them.

Also blue lotus, buy some of that and smoke it and you'll go into a mild-opiate like dreamy state.

Yep yep, but I need AT LEAST 3mg. When it stopped working as well I started taking 6 and I'd still be up for a while. I found that taking a break for one night I'd fall asleep just the same and the next night the 3mg would put me out again.

AND YES THE DREAMS ARE AWESOME! lol they're very vivid and realistic.

haha, never knew there were so many drug users on this board. ;)

Thansk for the advice though, I think im gonna try the melatonin, and we'll work from there.

Hopefully its just a "post-breakup" phaze, and I can get back to normal.

Squee.

tylonel pm, benadryl, c-span channel, catholic tv channel, have a great fuck, take a nice hot shower or bath (that might relax you enough to goto bed after), when chilling in a nice spa i get tired as fuck, so hot water might help. good luck.

I offer myself to help you with your sleep problems.

:Graucho

ambien

get laid.

When I was on ambien I got so tolerant I'd crush up and take 10 of the 10mg pills up the ol' nose at a time. I'd end up walking around my neighborhood smoking cigarettes and crawling under benches and stuff. I'd get all double vision, start talking to my cat and see creatures and all that. It's a miracle I'd make it back in my bed by the time I zonked out :thumbsup

never thought I'd agree with grogan on something...........but in this case i do.

when I can't sleep I just go gamble all night...

heh, yeah, ive been hitting the casinos at 3 in the morning, weekdays mindyou just to see the kind of people there. Kinda sad and funny at the same time

I love parking at the Las Vegas Club parking garage and walking down to the El Cortez in the middle of the night. Fun and a little scary sometimes too :)

man, downtown is the worst! Full of senior and bummy people.

The cocktail waitresses in the Cortez are at least 40 :P

Turn the air conditioning down to about 70 degrees, this will help a lot. I guarantee it!













:thumbsup

Xanax, the only time I had trouble sleeping (for like a week), I took a tablet and slept the next day 17 hours. I got up something like 7PM.

percocet mixed with beer. or vicadin with vodka.. or as i call it the double vaginal
