It is very frustrating. But I found out that drinking some red wine helps me go back to sleep. (not sure if this will turn me into an alcoholic, but that's a lesser evil compared to not being able to sleep! :P)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-56012940469985370122011-09-25T08:41:45.940-05:002011-09-25T08:41:45.940-05:00After years of often very serious insomnia, I have...After years of often very serious insomnia, I have hit on solutions that have minimized it to the point of an occasional irritation. First, I developed a routine that helps me through the spells themselves. My dog and I go camp out on the couch and listen to NPR. Second, accupuncture. whenever I start feeling jagged. Third, warm milk with nutmeg. It doesn't put me to sleep, but I swear it pulls me into a deeper sleep once I finally nod off. Fourth, ambien if the insomnia doesn't go away on its own after a few nights. Hardly ever have to take it anymore.

I tried Xanax to get me through, but even half of the lowest dose was too much. It took Lexapro to make it better. Found out later that my thyroid was whacked out.<br />I will say a prayer. I really hope it will get better!!!<br /> PS, I love, love, your art.

Sometimes writing down anything I'm thinking about helps - lists, deadlines, errands for the following days - but I'd rather just get good and drunk.

He now only takes drugs when he has an important day the next day. If not he stays up watchin TV all night (that bother me alot), and suffers a lot the next day. I am sure watching a TV screen is not the best, as in my opinion it´s too stressy for the mind. <br />They say the YOGA also helps..have you tried it? Of course I think there won´t be miracles from one day to another, but maybe practicing for some time helps...Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-91068985189330075972011-09-21T18:23:36.482-05:002011-09-21T18:23:36.482-05:00i would love to know the advice you were given...c...i would love to know the advice you were given...cuz, ya know sometimes i be insomnified too.my favorite and my best- MFAMB to youhttp://www.myfavoriteandmybest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872712733955065437.post-76750004515113893822011-09-21T15:39:45.783-05:002011-09-21T15:39:45.783-05:00Reading before bed?
