Having trouble sleeping

[THCME]

G'day All,

 

Due to some recent events I'm finding that I am unable to get anymore than 2 hours sleep at any given time, and, it's really starting to take it's toll.

I have tried Valerian, Kava and Doxylamine succinate ( Dozile ) with little or no effect at all. Even 30mins of exercise a few hours before " bedtime"

Having a smoke isn't doing it either unfortunately.

I really don't want to hit the world of Benzo's or similar.

Can anyone suggest a natural sleep remedy that may help me on my quest to the land of nod.

 

Thank You as always

high there THCME ,

It might be best to first find out why your not sleeping well rather than just try random 'natural' remedies ...

I've heard of Melatonin helping too ... you've tried others I've tried , excercise even when you do alot doesn't necesarily help sleeping.

To me , any tablets ain't gonna help ya , if you want natural (and who doesn't) concentrate on your everyday simple lifestyle ...

Eat Well ...

 

G'day Budman,

Spose I should elaborate on " why ". On the 31st January this year I walked into a bedroom to find my Father hanging from the double bunk - deceased. My Father was , and still is, my hero. The poor bloke had been suffering severe depression for many years and felt as though he couldn't go on anymore. He was a school principal for 40 years, counselling kids in his own time who had problems, and, also, one of the instigators for the Zenith unit (for kids with mental problems )at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.

As you can well imagine this has crushed me, and, I just don't seem to be coping at all well. Counselling has had a zero effect ( if anything I come out angrier ) and at present I have lost 15kgs due to not being able to stomach anything at most times.

I realise that situations like this take time, however, it just isn't getting any easier ( I am also the executor of His will, so I can't go and " stick my head in the sand ")

I won't harp on anymore about the why's and therefore's.

Will finish by saying a BIG Thank You to those who have responded to this thread, I really do appreciate any input, and, if I can even get one decent nights sleep from the collective info, then, I have come out a little bit more positive.

 

Sorry for ranting and raving, I know this isn't the Dr. Phil website. I just don't really know where to turn at the moment.

 

Thank You Everyone

Hey Thcme. All of us have a natural carcadium rythum and it's governed by light exposure in our eyes . When it gets dark we are programmed to go too sleep. Try not too be exposed to bright light before you go to bed. IE turn the brightness on the computer and the tv right down in the evening etc. I studied it at uni a few years ago. Hope it helps a little.

Good luck.

 

BTW IM having too sleep out bush atm cause my neighbors have been at with the duff duff for the last few night. PAin in the arse buyt i do sleep well out there. I wake up a few times in the night but get to bed real early so not so bad.

 

cheers

Thanks RR,

Going bush sounds like an excellent idea, hadn't pondered that thought. Sydney isn't the best place to relax in I suppose.

Take up martial arts, do it in the morning every day, and do some meditation, you will be able to sleep no worries at all after this.

Insomnia has changed me from excelling in everything I do, to excelling in the things I am able to do if I happen to sleep well the night before. Seriously, it's made me a much more humble person, I used to be a total prick because of my pride and abilities.. after hitting rock bottom and losing so much weight people would ask what's wrong with me, I slowly picked myself back up. I still can't sleep properly, but I have learned to work around it, became self-employed and am more or less a shift worker.. not by choice but simply because I can't sleep. It has a lot to do with my stomach problems.

 

Anyway for me melatonin doesn't work, and if I do take it, I have a terrible stomach ache the next day, all day. I will just feel like vomiting all day long. I've tried Valerian, St Johns Wort, Passionflower, Catnip, some mixes from Happy High shops, f**king Stilnox, Endep, Dothep, Avanza etc etc but find that nothing works better than a slow evening, a few spliffs, a non-engaging TV show (documentaries on nature etc are best) and a clear mind. I've had this problem for more than a decade and I'm still angry as to what it's taken away from me.. but at the same time thankful that I didn't turn into a royal c**t who think the world revolves around him. And errm.. looking back at this post it sort of is all about me, old habits die hard.

I have tried rescue remedy and valerian based herbal sleep tablets with some success

 

though for me if all else fails, 2 or 3 panadeine forte and a glass of baileys and milk or kahlua and milk will work though not recommended.
