Please share your best remedies for insomnia

wow

If the insomnia is due to over-thinking, then regular meditation is probably the best all. Unlike any pharmaceutical or natural-path solution, it has no adverse side-effects.. quite the contrary!

George Snoory, Coast to Coast AM.

After many years, I have settled on this sleep routine and I have an excellent routine that leaves me well-rested after many years of difficulty. I take 1/2 tablet Kirkland's Sleep-Aid (basically Unisom) and 1 kava tablet (whatever I have on hand) along with a sublingual melatonin (5 or 10mg). I listen to audiobooks or relaxation tapes. I sleep with earplugs and an eyemask, extra pillows. Started recently getting up at 5/6 going to sleep at 9/10 and things are going even better.

I forgot one but don't recall what happened in the US with it. There are a few strains of kratom that are awesome for sleep...is it illegal down there? I dunno my friends in the UK are afraid to order it because it technically is illegal there...I can buy it online here cheap and I remember some sort of kerfuffle going on with it in the States. But it is a fine insomnia remedy.

Between that and repair videos you should have no problem.

If female and perimenopausal or menopausal...Melatonin and natural form of progesterone lotion.

I think it revs up the metabolism.

A sleeping pill.

Just make sure your spouse knows, in case you do weird things.

.

I take the liquid Z Quil. Then I can measure out how much I need. I only take 1/2 the dose.

That has the same ingredient as Benadryl.

A good hard, satisfying, schtupping.
:Footies:

zzzquil from the makers of Nyquil: listed as a nighttime sleep aid for occasional use: liquid or tablet form; non habit forming.

Those are some fucked up toes.

Photoshopped to take the webs out from inbetween....

That guy (?) could climb a tree without using his hands!

Had to finally go on a benzo for sleep after struggling for years. Forget that horrible lunesta or ambien garbage. It's only a small amount, which I cut in half and also supplement with magnesium and melatonin. Good luck to you OP, there is nothing worse than insomnia.

If I had the $$ I would look into acupuncture.

Relax
Stop worrying
Understand life is all about ballance.

All of that over the counter stuff works but makes your blood pressure go up and leaves you groggy the next day. Awful but better than nothing in a pinch.

For me it wasn't my mind keeping me up but I do understand how that may be the case.

Unless you exercise yourself into exhaustion every day, good sleep is extremely difficult for older folks, esp. women.

I get it and exercise is necessary. It is what our bodies are built to do.

I like repair videos. They might keep me up!

some people have mentioned L Ornithine....anybody care to expand on that?

I’ve been taking trazodone for several years. I’ve had insomnia as long as I can remember. Nothing else worked for me that I’ve tried... not melatonin, NyQuil, well I did used to drink myself to sleep, that worked... but so far trazodone has been my #1. If I ever forget to pick up my prescription and run out, 100% guarantee I’ll lay there all night with my brain wide awake.
PS trazodone made my husband groggy in the morning, so it’s different for some. I’ve never had that problem with it.

Chamomile tea or the antihistamine that makes you drousy works 100%

I know! Hiccup!

It may sound strange, but have you tried a weighted blanket? My wife wanted to get one, but the ones we saw locally were over $100 for a queen size.

She was on a trip back east and found twin-bed sized ones for under $20. She brought two home with her.

I had been having trouble sleeping recently, but I have been sleeping under that blanket for a couple of weeks now and it is truly amazing. I get under that thing and I am out within a minute or two and sleep all night instead of lying awake for hours.

It produces a soothing and calming effect, but is not overly warm.
