sleep

I need sleep...I can't sleep for ANYTHING. And because of that I feel like CRAP during the day and all I want to do is sleep (which I can't do bc I have a 1.5 year old).

Do ya'll take anything for sleep? Does it make you feel ok? Do you feel like you get a REALLY GREAT night of sleep???

Any info would be great, Im thinking of calling my doc in the AM.

sorry to hear you're not sleeping, Jessica. its a terrible feeling and can be a hazard to your health, so imo its good you're looking into your options.

i take ambien CR 6.25 mg as needed. i usually only use it when i'm super stressed and can't seem to relax. i generally feel well rested after a full 7 hours' sleep, but have on occasion felt groggy when i sleep longer than that (like, say 9+ hours)... kinda weird and maybe oposite of how it should work (shouldn't you be more tired the less sleep you get?? LOL)

anyway, best wishes finding something that works.

oh, i have also taken ambien in the past (not the CR) and it worked alright to help me fall asleep, but i would not stay asleep, whereas CR has layers of both so it keeps working (or should!)... now i just sound like a commercial, dont' i?

take care,

I'm all about Ambien. I too only use it when I'm feeling restless or hyper and know that I'm not going to sleep. Usually 5 mgs does it for me. Sometimes you just need some help and you will feel better in the morning after getting a full nights sleep. I found when I take 10 mgs I'm really groggy in the morning and I tend to have really bad nightmares.
