I don't sleep well

I sleep like a log, but my sister suffers from insomnia and depression. She is going to try a herbal remedy recommended to me for her by a friend who also suffers from insomnia as a result of tinnitus. It's called Melissa Dream, which combines lemon balm and other ingredients for a calm and restful sleep without knocking you out. After years of not sleeping right, this guy now sleeps like a log every night. Perhaps worth your while researching it and trying it out. Be sure that if you're on other medication (I notice from one of your other threads that you suffer from diabetes), make sure to consult your doctor first and let him know the active ingredients in case there are any contraindications.

Sleep like a log? I wish I had one, or did I have one....I can't sleep on week days when i have to go to work early in the morningg. But on weekends i dpn't wake up until afternoon.

No, winterose. Until now, I've not experienced this. On some rare occasions when I'm ill and if I'm tensed, I can't sleep well. That apart, I'm fine. I sleep like a baby any time I want to.

I tend to be a light sleeper. Sometimes, I can go back to sleep. However, it isn't unusual for me to simply stay up once I've been awakened. I find that getting up and then going back to bed usually just means that I'll just feel more tired. This morning, I was up at 4:30; surprisingly, the cats had absolutely nothing to do with that.

I'm sorry to hear of your sleeping woes, winterose. How dreadful for you. I tend to sleep well for the most part, even though I am a light sleeper and am easily awakened. Matters aren't helped by the fact that my dog likes to greet me several times in the night, and will come right up to my face, stick her snout to almost touching my snout, and speak until I pet her and reassure her that all is well. Then she goes back to sleep. The one problem that I do have with sleeping is that I can't seem to find a comfortable position for my neck, and often awaken with neck pain.

Hi,i also do not have a good night sleep these years,i do not know why.but my sleep was very well past few years,so i think i need to do more exercise to improve my healty.if we do not have a good sleep at night,it wil affect next day's work.

I have a whole handful of pills I take at night to help me try to stay asleep. Melatonin, SleepMD, Restful Sleep (from Whole Foods), Aleve and benedryl... some nights it helps more than others.

When I'm still in the city with my ex I have lots of problems in my sleep. I'm not a deep sleeper only little noise my eyes would be open, I will spent 1 hour or more sometimes I count sheep just to make sleep. But when I moved here in my town I have a wonderful sleep, maybe surroundings has the biggest role in my sleep.

Thanks to the god almighty.I can sleep well.I mean good sleep.Sometimes i am having small disturbances in the sleep but it is manageable.no hard problems.Sometimes i can sleep like a log. But it is very rarely.you consulted any doctor.You better consult and see the problem

Oh poor you!!! You could go to see doctors then they may help you to find out a reason and help you have a nice sleep. i understand your feeling since sometime i could not sleep well also. But normally i sleep as a log from 9 pm to 6 am. It is hard for me to sleep if i sleep with a person who does snore...I can't sleep with the lamps on and noisy also.

so do i. ;( It's really hard not to get enough sleep, especially when there's so much thing you need to do by tomorrow. But. Gosh! for 15 years?! i can't imagine if that would happen to me. i think you need to confine to a doctor. they might give you something like sleeping pills. well, i hope you'll get enough sleep soon.

Wow that was look very pain full , i was have trouble to , i always sleep late, and when i wake up late too

I use to have this problem too. When I was pregnant, my OBGYN, suggested I sleep on my side with a body pillow or two pillows, one to support my upper torso area and the other pillow between my legs. This did help with my aches and pains but I was still waking up several times. I am no longer pregnant, but still sleep with my two pillows. I moved a few years ago and there is a bar/saloon in my neighborhood. I started sleeping with a box fan running in my room to drown out the music coming from the bar. I now sleep like a baby, the whole night through. Maybe you can try one or both of these tips? Good Luck:-)

well, that a serious problem right there buddy , i advice to you that ask your doctor on your health concern right now to solve your sleeping problem..

i am often a horrible sleeper due to fibromyalgia's aches and pains; plus, with fibro, you don't get a refreshing sleep as you would get without having it. i often wonder what it would be like to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. i haven't felt that way in years!

I always have a problem sleeping, as I am in a lot of pain, even if I take morphine and a sleeping pill I still find it hard to get comfy to get off to sleep.I feel that if I try to go to bed early this also do not help me at all either, as I toss and turn and get more anxious about trying to get to sleep.I try to tire myself out on the internet or listen to music and that do not really help either.When I do go to sleep I do not sleep for long, as soon as I move the pain is back in revenge.

I think i have early insomnia, and it takes me two to three hours to sleep after i lay in bed, and then just have four to five hours sleep. Probably due to stress from work, but most probably with the domestic issues that keep on bothering me for months now.

It depends with me. I'm almost like manic sometimes. Im wired for sound and don't go to sleep until the sun starts rising again. Sometimes I don't sleep then. I have to take Tylenol PM in order to sleep, and sometimes I have to repeat it two more times. I have to take 3 and sometimes I take as many as 9 during the night and I'm still wired. When I go to the psych um going to tell him how I can't sleep. then there are nights I sleep well. If I'm under stress ... Luke if I get yelled at I won't sleep that night at all. Things have been good since the move.

I think I lack of sleep, not because I have trouble sleep. I use to play pc game or watch video on the internet, until I feel sleepy, and I think I'm easy to sleep after I get tired from work.

i don't sleep well either, winterose, and i don't think i ever have! sometimes i wonder if it is not a temperament/personality thing! i am very much a night owl, and prefer staying up later and sleeping later...when i worked in an office (as a psycho) this was much more inconvenient, but now that i am home all the time and am an artist, i can more follow the natural rhythms! however, it is still a problem sometimes, i have learned techniques to slow my self and my brain down, reading before bed, milk, warm baths, but still have to take something occasionally. unfortunately, i rather like knocking myself out. i know this is unhealthy, but there it is. how do you deal with your insomnia?
