Two Benadryl tablets, generically sold as Allergy Relief, etc. Only lasts four hours. takes about 30 min to one hr to go to sleep. Very cheap. I buy a bottle of 200 tablets for 8-10 bucks at the grocery store.

Lots of reasons for potentially poor sleep quality.
A few popular issues contributing to poor sleep; in no particular order. Stress High starch/sugar intake before bed Exercise within 4 hrs of going to bed Lack of exercise Alcohol - even 1 beer will disrupt deeper sleep (stage 3+) Watching tv or being on the computer before bed That's what I got for now. There have been periods of my life where I got less than 4 hours a night for weeks on end and it is insane. Always had trouble finding the "off" switch before bed. Scott

Sorry to hear that brutha. I spent years in the sleepless ruts.
Not sure why I've been sleeping better the last few years other than a combination of things. I've been eating better foods, less alcohol, and exercising more. Not in the gym, I can't stand 'em. I think exercise should be had while you're having some fun like biking, skiing, boating, walking/jogging etc. I also have made peace with some of the sheit that kept me up at night. That's probably the hardest thing to do on this entire list. Life has a way of knockin' when I'm trying to relax or drift off.... Scott

Search "Sleep Hygiene" on the Google O' Tron.
I'm a pro at not sleeping. I did the sleep study too. Nuthin'. I take Ambien, Xanax and Temazapam each night and sometimes still can't fall asleep. That cocktail would knock out a horse. I wake up as a zombie and it takes about fifteen minutes to shake it off. And some delicious brains. But after that, I'm good to go. It's a handful of downers for sure and I'm certain it ain't doing me any good but I do sleep some. |
