problems sleeping - Page 3

Try Melatonin. Its in the vitamin section of nearly any store out there, and it really does help you fall asleep. The pineal gland in your brain naturally produces Melatonin, so when you take it in the bottle form, all it does is stimulate your brain to produce more. Ive taken this stuff for years when I need it, especially on Sunday nights after sleeping in late then having to be up early Monday morning. Ive never grown dependant on it, never had any bad side effects, and it really works. Ive also turned many friends / family members on to this stuff too. It will help you stay asleep, hope your bladder is capable of handling it!

When I get carried away with the protein shakes (ie too many or 1 b4 bed) I wake up like 2x in the night to piss...sux but other than that I sleep like a baby.. do you wake up early or sleep in..? I've found I always sleep better if I wake up around 5am and get my day started...

Ive always been a very light sleeper and tend to wake up a couple times in the middle night, usually hungry. I found that nuts and a caesin shake before bed has helped alot with not waking up hungry. Also get into a routine.

In the week i go to bed around the same time and give me self 30min before i go to bed to do all the bits and pieces. I like to read for 10min before bed as i find it relaxing. Also ear plugs and night masks are great for helping you.

Melatonin is the way to go as KK said. I had wicked trouble now i sleep through the night without waking. My body adapts over time to the dose though. Currently at 15 mg. I never wake up groggy though, always refreshed and ready to go. It has made a huge impact in my rest habits.

I have many somniopathys, the doctor even put me on trazodone! It didn't work at all though! But I found something as little as a benadryl helps wonders every night! Good luck man!

I just had to say...Holy shit, 15mg of melatonin would put me in a coma!

If you're really having sleep problems, you should try doxylamine or diphenhydramine or possibly both 20-30 minutes before bed. Or if you aren't have trouble actually falling asleep, take it immediately before.

You take 5 regular 3mg melatonin tablets or what? I've never taken more than 6mg before.. would have figured something as high as 15 to be kind of dangerous.

Are the controlled-release as KK hints at or just a handful of regular tablets? I may give this a shot tonight just to see what the deal is. I've never seen controlled release ones before though. I've only seen 1,2, and 3mg tabs (almost all 3mg, though)
