Can't fall asleep

Seriously, is it easier for you to fall asleep if you roll one out before bed? Whether it's courtesy of yourself or your fiancee.

 

Tryptophan? The stuff that's supposedly in milk & turkey that tends to make you sleepy? An amino acid, I think . . .

Chris, didn't you mention that you have to fly often for business? If that's the case, & your anxiety is severe enough to need prescription medication, you might want to look at a longer-term (& safer) solution. Maybe seriously looking for a career change that would eliminate that trigger. Maybe some behavioral/psychological therapy to manage it without meds (or with something milder & safer). If you're anxious & stressed in general, it seems that would be an excellent long-term investment in your health. Just throwing some ideas out there . . . .

 

a little hard labor and you'll sleep like a big fat baby

 

Last night was the first "school night" I slept drug free and it was hard. I didn't sleep well at all. Seemed like I woke up ever 20 minutes or so. It's going to be hard, but I'm trying to stay off the meds for sleep.

Glad to hear it. Not sleeping well is miserable!
