I have a hard time sleeping for years. I did:
a hot bath (now my skin screams)
melatonin under the tongue 2.5mg
(makes my dreams so vivid)
I have gone to Ambien
(10mg but I break them in 1/2 and when the melatonin wears off I take this)
It seems like a huge gift to sleep through the night. I was becoming someone else when I laid awake all night. Then I took everything and it sometimes worked sometimes not.
This new schedule seems to work now...who knows about the future.
I can't do: Valerin, melatonin alone, tylenol pm alone, etc.
I know this will probably not be the answer forever but it's working right now.
I killed my TV. I don't see visually disturbing movies or read those type of books or accept that kind of e-mail. I am filtering everything. I need calm easy energy...healing music...a life out of the main steam. I need to rest deeply.
It's a hard topic that lots of people are stuggling with right now. I have such empathy for those of us who are awake...
