I wish I could sleep, almost 4 am and wide awake. I average 4 to 5 hours of sleep in 24 hours every day. Sometimes it is during the day and others is at night. Do any of the older folks on here have that problem ? Too much worrying I guess...
I NEED SLEEP ! ! !

Melatonin works ok. It’s natural and non habit forming. Hope you get some rest
Same here! Brother!…I tried ambien…that stuff ain’t no joke….had to quit using that…..when my wife found me spraying weed killer on my neighbors’ clover at 2 am!
She said I looked good in my underwear though!
True story!

Second wife huh???
Tried that and worked a while and I probably could take a bottle and not faze me. Also tried Ambien and went to sleep pretty fast instead of laying there for an hour or two, but still woke up in 3 to 4 hours had crazy dreams.

While yours might not be a pain issue but I always in pain but when it gets to the point I can't sleep because of it I take a couple of Tylenol PM they knock me out usually of course I'm the type of if med states makes you drowsy it really hits me.
Tylenol PM has the same sleep ingredient as almost all over-the-counter sleep aid, DIphenhydramine HCI 50mg which is also for allergies like Benadryl Diphenhydramine HCI 25mg and most cough syrups. Believe me, I have tried them all. I guess I will have to live with it. Now NyQuil helps more than anything but who wants to take a cold medication every night to sleep. LOL, I tried the NyQuil sleep aid and again it is just DIphenhydramine HCI 50mg. Some say a glass of warm milk helps but I've never tried that, I guess I just don't see it helping if all others failed. Ambien works for about 4 hours then I wake up off and on the rest of the night dreaming each time something that I can't remember the next day.
Well I was going to mention NyQuil I've taken that too but not the one for a cold the one for just sleep supposed to be the same thing as regular NyQuil just without the cold stuff odd one helps and not the other..if you haven't best thing you can do is go to your doctor they can do a sleep study or something and maybe find something that will help.
I like the melatonin gummies ( but a few don’t cut it ) and they help me ... if I don’t take something I will not sleep.
I have my annual physical on 1/4/2022 and the Ambien he gave me was 5mg and online there is a 10mg. Maybe he will let me try that. The 5mg was like not taking anything except having dreams and waking up dreaming. My neighbor asked if I was ever in the military and I ask why, he said he was sitting on his front porch one night and I came out as though I was marching and went up the sidewalk to one end of my house a saluted and down to the other end of my sidewalk and was like I shook hands with someone then marched back in the house. That was when I was on Ambien and don't think it was a high enough dose. He asked if I ever sleepwalked but I did not remember and laughed it off as though I thought he was kidding but he said happened. I have heard of people going for a drive and being stopped by a police officer that knew him, Don't remember what happened. Anyway thanks for the responses, I was just wondering if others were having the same problem. Back to football threads.
