Sleep

[yzinger]

How does one induce a nice deep, relaxing sleep?

 

[PumpingIron]

Some herbs that can help promote sleep and help put you into a deeper sleep are: Valerian Root, Passion Flower and Melatonin

I wouldn't know being that I'm a full blown insomniac lol.

Ambien CR works for most people, not me.
Lunestra either.
Trazodone seems to do the trick.

That is if you're asking prescription meds :twisted:

I found nyquil to make me woke up and hot as it has pseudoeph. in it. I wouldn't take it unless you're sick.. REM-R3G is a good one that I would stack with some VR. That would be a good one..

10 hours at one job, 3-4 at another every night (ATW) + the commute to and from both...work on Saturday too (obviously) can't take a nap after that because I want to play with my son (M-F He's asleep when i leave for work and asleep again by the time I get home) Sunday I pass out once or twice in between actually having a meal together with my family and the Iggles game on the tube....spend another hour or two with my son Sunday night....pass out....wake up Monday morning and do it all over again.

SUX BIG! So I really don't sleep....just pass out for an hour or two at a time!

Insomnia. That's why I don't sleep .

Average 4 hours a week.

TC, Nyquil does knock you out, but you don't get a high quality of sleep.

Plus Nyquil type deals will quickly build a tolerance and the sleep isn't a good one. Lack of sleep has so many variables that a person can't really give you an honest answer without just blurting out what either worked for them or just known drugs to help.

Ambian worked for me but I also only used it on days that I worked and couldn't fall asleep. For much minor sleep problems I found Unisom to work well enough.

When I was dealing with insomnia for awhile back the doctor gave me Trazodone. It will knock your block off... Within an hour of taking it i was so relaxed i couldnt move and just drifted off to sleep.
