not that this is anything new or news.
The only thing that has been helping me is melatonin. My prescribed sleep aids are a big fat fail!
The problem with melatonin though is that it doesn't wear off fast enough! I end up sleeping half the day away!
I don't know what to do any more.
Last night I laid in bed awake till mid night then took the melatonin cause I couldn't take it any more.
I'd clean but my kitchen is right over my neighbors bed room and she already complains about my kids stomping when they are here let alone me dropping every thing as I always do. I wish I could at least clean at night so It wasn't a waste.
well time to take my pills and try to sleep. See you later if they don't work again.

and I totally get where you are coming from...I wish I could clean house at night ..but it would keep my sister awake
My sleep is about 3am - to 10 or 11am right now - I don't like it, frustrating at night, and the day seems screwed before I start....
ah, good luck to ya!
I've gone through a whole bunch of meds to help me sleep, so I know there's a lot of them out there.
Seroquel works best for me.
I admit I do sleep 9 or 10 hours, but that's how much makes me feel the best.
I don't want to cut it to 8 hours if it means I'm going to feel like crap.
I sometimes go through a stretch where I need 12 hours sleep every night.
Good luck.
Maybe you'll have to compromise and sleep a bit longer than you'd like. Maybe just 9 hours?
I hope it works out.
Exhaustion is my best sleep aid. Hope whatever you take works for you.
