I thought I had a good schedule going for a while...I was sleeping ok....the last week has been dumb...I was so tired yesterday I crashed in bed at 11pm, basically pushing it...but woke up at 2am and that was it....I'm worried I'll wake up at a dumb hour again....I hate not being able to sleep, but I'm glad I'm not on sleep meds anymore....but I NEED more than 3-4 hours of sleep per day....what to Do???
			
			
			
				I don't sleep well either, and the sleep meds most Doktors prescribe today are too weak for me, if they even give them to me at all, so I drink!
Drink enough, and you can sleep!
(Also, reason #289 for which I will NEVER visit a 'Doctor' again in my life, ever, as long as I live in this shithole Gulag called Canada.  Eight months to see a Shrink was The End for me).
			
			
			
				I don't like drinking.  It dehydrated me and makes me thirsty the next day.  Plus I got a kid in my place, and tonight she has friends so it's not gonna happen.  And I don't feel like cannabis tonight.
I'm about to get into the children's Nyquil....

I'm about to get into the children's Nyquil....
Welcome to Canada, Mexico of the North...
NyQuil is best, if that's what you have on hand.  Just drink the whole bottle, and try to clear your mind.
			 
			
			
				Take a hot bath, wrap up in towels, and slip into bed.
			
			
			
				The whole bottle is a bit much.  Surprisingly, my mind is clear....best I've ever been.  So I should be able to sleep.  So weird.  I already took 2 supersleeps....if worse comes to worse, I do have some muscle relaxants...but I keep them for when I really need them...I took one last week in early evening cause my back and neck kept ceasing and I knocked out cold at 7pm on the couch....woke up at midnight to Lo sitting next to me smiling and munching on something...like damn kid!  Why didn't you go to bed???  I figured that out thru her smile...

No.  Once I get in, I never get out.  Gimme a book and I'll be in there for 3 hours.
It's hot enough in here right now...heats cranked all I got is a sheet and thin blanket....and my 4 fav pillows.
			 
			
			
				With a kid, you have to be careful.
Me?  I can use whatever means I need to sleep, and that usually requires some drinking!
I am 100% drug free, and will remain that way until I die.
			
			
			
				I'm not one to get drunk.  And I don't do drugs.  I only use pot to sleep.  I don't classify pot as a drug.  It has no side effects and I can benefit in many ways.  Mostly I prefer to eat it.
			
			
			
				I've smoked in the past.  Just wasn't for me.
Will say that it can help with sleep also, if you have some on hand.
			
			
			
				I have a bag and it does make me tired but I don't want any tonight, that's the problem.
			
			
			
				Well, in the past when I've smoked a few pulls off a joint, I went to sleep easily enough, but the mind has to be ready for sleep.
I am not a good sleeper naturally (nor was my ex), so you do what you have to do!
			
			
			
				So I rolled over and fell asleep around 12:30am....and I woke at 2:30am....been trying to go back to sleep since then....it's just after 3am.....this is seriously fusterating....I have a headache now....
			
			
			
				So fuck this....If I stay up all night, again, I'm going to get sick.  So I took a pee, which was fabulous cause I'm most likely to drink another litre of water here....I took an Advil and a muscle relaxant....I should be sleeping in an hour at least.  Kids are zonked out, so all's good.  I pray for sleep!
			
			
			
				Come to my house.
Super quiet, and I'll give you a message also.
			
			
			
				Why are you still awake!? Creature of the night! Lol
			
			
			
				He wants to massage your berry sweet patch.
			
			
			
				I'll have a cab there for you and your daughter.
Come visit!
			
			
			
				I know eh dinky....I took a muscle relaxant Mel....I'm gonna turn to jello....and finally sleep!  I have Lo and her friends sleeping here..I'm not going anywhere.
			
			
			
				You bum.
			
			
			
				Yeah my bum is parked in my bed.  I  can't wait to relax!  The headache is starting to ease...the birds are in my room and even tho I cover their cage and I'm quiet I think I kept them up last night....they looked totally exhausted today...poor things....I had gas last night and released some power farts...must've scared the heck out of them in the dark....lol
			
			
			
				Berry...  what do you need?
			
			
			
				Sleep....*tumbleweed rolls by*
			
			
			
				Me too.
			
			
			
				I would love to sleep for 8-10 hours uninterrupted...like straight thru!  With a few dreams just before I wake up.
			
			
			
				Mel needs a tumbleweed? What for?
			
			
			
				She knows she's too trashy for me!
I like her though...
			
			
			
				I just said that dinky cause it seemed Mel missed the point..
			
			
			
				Berry, GET OVER HERE!
			
			
			
				My arms are starting to tingle.....it's kick in in....just shouldn't fart so the birds can sleep...
			
			
			
				Ok.
			
			
			
				Don't u work tomorrow?  Won't you be tired and still drunk?
			
			
			
				I'm on vacation until the 2nd!
Didn't you figure this out?
			
			
			
				You're always up late tho.  I've taken the privilege of not thinking of anyone else and their needs (except Lo's) these days....it has done wonders for me!  Ann entire weight has been lifted and a new me is shifting into place.
			
			
			
				My legs feel so soft.  My pillows are perfectly cold...I I love cold pillows!
			
			
			
				Why don't you and LO come over?  I'll pay for the cab!~

Take a night cap..
Workout a couple of hours during the day and take like two beers before you go to sleep.
Works like a charm..

Same here, I only get a GOOD 4 hours. Toss in 15 minute intervals after that. Sometimes even start sleeping good right before the alarm goes off, that sucks. Maybe its my internal clock out of whack. Cause nights with my lady I only get 4 hours anyway.
			 
			
			
				Thankfully having trouble sleeping has never really been  an issue for me.  I think the closet I've had to insomnia has been during periods of unemployment, when working I cherish every minute spent in bed on my days off.   :laugh:

Yes.  In brownies or cookies.  If not I'll just eat it straight or make a tea and eat it.  It's gross but...
			 
			
			
				The muscle relaxant worked.  I slept thru till 10am.  But that's so late., at least  I slept.  Now I don't have to worry about headaches.

You have to try toffee or caramels (as long as you make sure the plant gets heated and the THC gets activated  previous to cooking) yummies are always great.. summer popsicles, gummies and chocolate bars where my favorites, infused cocoa hot chocolate I think might be the way to go with the chocolate bars aperitif  this New Years not sure yet since mushrooms and beer still seems to be a close contender.. guess it really depends on the type of mushroom because I'd sacrifice an intense psychotropic for something more giggly  ..
			 
			
			
				Or you could go to a Wailers concert.

I don't know much about this but it's worth looking into.  I use to use a tincture during the day as it didn't get me high butmade me feel more calm, anxiety wise...but after a while it just didn't work anymore.
Canada needs to hurry up and legalize marijuana....and while they are at it, they need to ban or make certain pharmaceuticals illegal...such as opiods.

I've been thru this so many times.  If I go to docs and specialists, I just turn into a guinea pig and given prescription drugs.  I don't want prescription drugs.  Marijuana helps me and has zero side effects or screw with my health in other ways like prescription does.  Obviously I NEED sleep.  Today, not tomorrow.
			 
			
			
				Due to my own mental illness, I have also taken many, many drugs. None of them had side effects, according to me. According to my family, however, some of the side effects were awful. I learned that no drug has zero side effects. Some simply have side effects your mind tends to ignore. I have been advised to avoid marijuana because the side effects may be catastrophic.
My current meds have been spectacularly efficacious compared to previously available options. Medical technology advances on all fronts, and what is available now was not available but a few years ago.

Yes that sounds like CBD which has no high at all but alleviates pain and medicates your ailments, CBD also fights off cancer ....

I had the caramels in Seattle, they were real good. Best edible I had yet.
My sleep has also suffered for a while now too. Only 4 good hours then start tossing. I use to have insomnia, but day shift cured that "mostly" lol.

LMAO!!!!  :roll: 
Partly I get it from my mom lol. Also my lady loves sweets. Last night we ate a couple of those Ferrero Rocher chocolates, then the last of the Strawberry Salad, then she tried pushing one of her homemade peanut butter and chocolate truffles on me, and I was trying to put the brakes on but figured what the hell, its the season lol. THEN she wanted another dessert and I had to say "no woman, have some kind of control!" lolol. She ate hers and I didnt that time lol. Normally just one sweet a night for me.
