I drink "Sleepytime Extra", it's a Celestial Seasonings tea. The "extra" is an herb called Valerian (not positive of the spelling). It's a pleasant tasting tea, and I prefer tea to medications. "Sleepytime" is relaxing, but "Sleepytime Extra" will put you to sleep. Hope you sleep better soon!

Alright, I'm finally braking down and asking the asylum for assistance here.

I haven't had a good nights sleep in two weeks. In fact it has been getting progressively worse andhaven't had any sleep at all in the past two nights.

I'm leary of "sleep aids" but I think it's gotten to the point I hae to give it a shot.

Any input would be appreciated. :yay:

Lug, I would see a doc. If you are contemplating OTC's and meds for sleep help this should raise some red flags.
Why is everyone so quick to jump on pills and quick fixes?
Please, do not take offense as I am mearly offering advice. Here is what I would do:
1. Investigate the underlying lifestyle issues that may be present and causing you not to get good deep sleep. Generally speaking this is the number one cause of sleep disorders.
2. Go see your primary care doc and request to see a specialist before asking for prescription sleep aides. Having a sleep study may open some doors about yourself that you may have been unaware of.
3. Exhaust every option before seeking OTC or prescription help.

Good luck. Everyone underestimates the importance of sleep until it becomes an issue.

You and I must be on the same schedule.. I was up for two days straight last week and can only sleep for about 4 random hours a day.

Today, I stayed up and figitted(sic) over my bathroom and living room arrangement until I was shaking from lack of sleep..


I have two hammers... Let's knock each other out:boxing: :snore:

Good luck.
