[QUOTE="Star*, post: 79682, member: 4964"] Karen, I've been having the same weird can't sleep thing too. Show of hands - how many of us can't sleep at night? (I'm sure it's a lot. You aren't a lone nightowl..hoootttt hooooot. [img]:sleeping:[/img] If you can't get OTC Night time tylenol try Benadryl. The ingredients in most OTC night time sleep aids are antihystamines. And some people benefit from it, others dont. Some other night time sleeping hints I've gathered Nothing to eat after 9:oo PM A warm glass of milk - has to be warmed to release the tryptophan A banana (Kinda contradicts nothing to eat or drink after 9:00 huh - so try eating or drinking by 8:30) A long, boring book -like a tech manual zzzzzz zzzzzzzzz No TV A warm bath or shower WITH lotion afterwards and powder if you have it. Clean sheets - keep a scented dryer sheet IN the folded sheets you store in the linen closet when you put the new sheets on you can smell the freshness Powder on the bed Cut out the caffeine in your day (yah I laughed too) although I am caffeine free now and sleeping worse Make a physical check of all the windows and door locks about an hour before you go to bed. (I really had issues) I can't remember - will look it up, but I think Rose hips helps if you are pre-menopausal. Bad herbologist in training. BAD~ Hope this helps. I figured that me staying up was my body's way of saying I'm older and just didn't need sleep. Yea....you should live with me after I've had a week of 3 hours a night. SOOOOOO pleasant. [img]:vampire:[/img] HUGS Star ps reading the bible in bed has always put me to sleep too, and not that it's a boring book, but I've always gotten the most restful sleep when I fall asleep reading the word. Word UP. [/QUOTE]
