Sleeping tablets
psik0tik:
Yes the drowsiness does suck a bit during the day. I tried the melatonin thing but I work night shift so they don't work all that well. Insomnia sucks. You just lay there half dead on the couch bearly awake then 5 mins later your wide awake. Its a visous cycle.

The ones I take were prescribed and I wake up feeling OK. Yeah.... I am tired, but it's 5:30am, I am gunna be tired no matter what! They are called Stilnox.
The side effect is the totally stoned feeling I get about 20 minutes after taking them. I get out of my office chair and whammo! It's like drinking beers in front of the fire and you don't realise how tanked you are till you get up for a leak and almost fall in.
I hate pills, all pills. After my last operation I refused to take them (painkillers). The nurses didn't understand. I just hate pills that much.
But I need to be able to function and with my average sleep being around 10 hours over three days without them, it is just not possible.

I took ambien for a bit, ran into some weird side effects. I'd wake up the next day and talk to my friends, they'd say I called them on the phone and had a lot of messed up conversations :/ I still need to get some sleeping pills though. Going to sleep at 4 and barely sleeping untill I have to wake up at 7 is causing problems.

RLS?
hmmm. I wonder if that's me. I have been doing some thing like that for some time. blows my wife mind. I can kick the top sheet off the bed but not disturb the to other covers on top of that.
like yanking a table cloth out from the dishes and leave the dishes undisturbed
kinda cool when you look at it.
Caffeine is probably my down fall. 3 to 6 quarts a day
