LITTLE SLEEP!

Posted by dennismm @dennismm, 4 days ago

Hi all,
Happy, Healthy New Year, emphasis on the healthy!

It’s been about two months now that I haven’t had a full nights sleep. Psychiatrist and Neurologist prescribed Diazepam, Temazepam and Trazodone. Nothing worked! Sometimes it would help me fall asleep but that’s it. Up every hour to every two hours. Strange this is I’m up at almost exactly 4:00 AM every morning (night).

Drs seem to have given up so I’m turning to you folks for can’t ideas, if anyone else had the same problem and solved it, PLEASE let me know. I’m ready to hit myself on my head to sleep, (obviously kidding but I am desperate). Thanks

@royanthony You are quite right to point out that, as individuals, we all have the personal responsibility to learn what we can, and what we cannot, tolerate. I know some people who drink caffeinated coffee after supper and who are apparently no worse off for that routine. Some go running in the evening when the kids are in bed and they have a partner at home to watch the proverbial fire. They sleep better just an hour or two later. As you know only too well, exercise is best done before a final day's meal and not within three/four hours of bedtime. Some say that screen time just before bedtime is bad for sleep. I would have to say I'm not in that camp, but I appreciate that others are and that they must make adjustments to their evening activities accordingly.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. New higher dosage or Tramazone 15md, did noting! Think it was a placebo! Not really but that what it acted like?

@gloaming I've read many times and I personally found out the following. Exercising, including walks are necessary for our general health. However, it should be done way before a person attempts to go to sleep. I've often violated this rule and yes, my body doesn't "shut down" for hours and I struggle to get to sleep. I hope this helps someone.

@dennismm I'm right there with you. I've aso got RLS, which has just recently started causing jerks to add insult to injury. I'm tired and trying to recover from major surgery so this insomnia really isn't helping my recovery either.
