I supossed you've tried hot milky drinks, baths etc. Do try and get as much
fresh air whenever possible. Have you something that is worrying you and
playing on your mind?

[tinkerbell23]

You're wicked Trimereseus.

Are you sure you are not too hot or too cold? You could try some herbal drinks, either camomile tea or anything with valerian in it. Also don't eat for a few hours before you go to bed.

[Ric.ror]

What time do you go to bed Tink?

I`ve got a pot of Sleep Therapy from Avon. On offer at moment for £1.50. It doesn`t have a strong smell or anything, but I rub some on my temples and I`m away with the fairies! There is also a spray to use on your bedding. Hope you can get a good night`s sleep soon.

Melatonin is good - really helps me when I have a run of bad nights. Just helps get back into a sleep pattern.

[tinkerbell23]

My windows always open and since the hot weather ive been sleeping with a sheet and not a duvet so my body temp is ok!! I had camomile tea before but ill try it again! I ddnt really like the taste BUT for some sleep....!!

[tinkerbell23]

I know the feeling tinks. Didn't even bother trying last night. xx

[ethandron]

tinks, i've been through a number of periods in my life when sleeping has become impossible. i visited my gp in the end and had a good chat with her about it. she prescribes zopliclone 3.75mg for me, only 14 of them on the prescription and only to be taken when i'm desperate, not on a regular basis. i can't remember the last time i took one but to be honest, just the fact that they're sitting in my bedside table and i know they're there is almost a much a help as the tablets themselves are.
i have 4 of the 14 tablets left and the date on the box is 2009 so that's how often i've taken one. it really is worth a gp visit tink, nothing worse than lacking a decent nights sleep and going into a downward spiral about it.

[tinkerbell23]

Aw jan- sorry to hear youre not sleeping! Have you tried anything?

Ethandron thank you so much. As i say i dont want to depend on thm but the odd something would help! Im shattered daytimes i can hardly stay awake sometimes but still have to do all the normal things its terrible x
