Wow, Carol, congratulations on Four Stars! Just noticed.
Alas I have none of these, though it does sound like quite a cocktail to be sure. Though I doubt it would help. When I get like this not even scrip sleep aids help.

Ah, sorry. I do think that Valerian root (3 capsules) sometimes helps people sleep during times like these more effectively than actuall sleeping pills. It doesn't make you tired, it just quiets down your mind enough to allow stuff like melatonin to work.
I'll definately give it a try, cuz this isnt any fun. When this happens it usually lasts anywhere from a week to a couple months.

Make sure you get it either at Target or Wal-Mart (about $3.49 for a bottle of a hundred). The grocery store's and, suprisingly drugstore's as well, brands don't pack near the punch - even at a much higher price. Target's is the best (even better, IMO, than the Elliott's stuff that costs more than twice as much). Don't even think of Rite-Aid - IMO, their Valerian root simply doesn't do anything for me.
Again, it won't make you tired, just more able to relax well enough to sleep. Take it, IMO, BEFORE a sleep aid and make sure you can feel the effects of it before taking a sleeping pill. Disclaimer; I am NOT a doctor!
If you have racing thoughts that are preventing you from getting sleep. try coffee cruda from a health food store. It's literally...green coffee.
In microdoses it produces a paradoxical reaction to what you expect from coffee...it can help calm the mind and relax you.
Thanks very much! :asian:
Thanks for the advice Johnathan and Carol, I greatly appreciate it.
I tried to rep both of you, but I must spread the love before hitting you again Jonhathan.
Now that I have some new strategies to try to sleep, I may as well make the most of this night and try figure some other things out tonight. :disgust: Things have been relatively simple as of late and now I done screwed that all up.

Hang in there. And remember...whatever it is your facing...is temporary
Indeed it is. I just have a real hang up when it involves another person. If it screws me up thats okay, it becomes the mess in which I have to live, but it's unfair to do that to another.
It happens. Part of interacting with other human beings. :lol:
Well...until the world is perfect, I hope things work out as best as they can. :cheers:
To be honest I'm probably making a big production out of what is probably nothing, but never the less... I dunno
I doubt the other person has a clue as to the moral delimma I've managed to skewer myself with. In fact I'm fairly certain she doesn't.
And in the quiet of this morning I claim this thread as my own. Sleep is for the weak (or those who arent insane)

Still at work. All is quiet, thankfully.
May it stay quiet till the end of you shift, and all the headaches be placed upon the next shift.
