I would talk to my doctor before trying anything. There are a lot of ways to get to sleep without medication or supplements. I used Ambien for 10 years until it just didn't work anymore, so i quit using it. Now I have a "sound machine" that sounds like wind blowing. It drowns out all outside noise and is very relaxing, I am however addicted to that little machine so where I go, it goes.

This is a blue light that shines on ceiling and then diminishes, Doug never would believe that this gadget would work but was dead set against medication, so gave it a try. He is shocked that this worked but so thankful. Cost is $59 +handling. Full refund if not satisfied. If you have not had a good night's sleep like the ole boy, give it a try. Doug is a believer!!!

Ambien.

[vintageogauge]

Ambien.

Ambien is very addictive and as you become used to it you need more and more of it to work or add a little alcohol to it as time goes on. It's trying to take the easy way out. It's like taking cholesterol lowering drugs so you can eat junk food.

Glad you spelled it out, for those that don't want to do even a modicum of research. :thumbup:



Facts matter. :BigApplause:

Jebartle, it is a terrible thing that a lot of people can't understand. I would drive for 16 to 18 hours and get a nice hotel room and nothing no sleep at all. When medical problems are facing someone in our family or a friend I pray so long that I fall asleep but even that doesn't work all the time. I don't drink so thats out. I think you may have something with this light.

I found that the very worst thing was to ever talk about not being able to sleep before trying to go to sleep. That was the kiss of death so to speak.

I have been hooked up to a CPAP machine for better than three months and it is the best thing ever in my life. During 3 sleep studies, I was told that I actually slept no more than 8 minutes an hour. That's deep sleep, I think they call it REM sleep. Anyway, I'm no doctor but ultimately Melatonin 10mg and this machine changes and saved my life. The Doctor that set me up was a Pulmonologist. Not cheap but it can stretch your life out quite a bit. Good Luck. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz!

I don't use medical marijuana but have found CBD tincture oil (sublinguel..2 drops under tongue at bedtime) helps me immensely. It's good for inflammations as well and is derived from Hemp. You can get it at The Green Apple. Some chiropractors sell it now as well as functional medicine dr.'s.

[jnieman]

If stuck without your sound machine, download an app on your phone called "Sleep Fan". You must have your phone plugged in while using it. It has a timer on it. I use it sometimes when in a hotel or at home because I hear one little noise and it can ruin my sleep. This keeps me from hearing those noises and is relaxing.

Ambien is just horrible stuff, I was prescribed it and it'll knock you out cold - even during the day.

Some 80% plus of people are magnesium deficient. If you take 300 mg of magnesium just before bedtime, you'll sleep like a baby.

I've never tried Ambien. I'm afraid I'll get in a car and drive back to The Villages.
But I have taken 300 mg of magnesium before bed. I didn't sleep like a baby. :girlneener:
I'm think I have to send a PM to jebartle to fine out more about a dodow.

Is your husband still using a Dodow?
And is it still effective? Is it easy to set up and use?

After several nights of good night's rest, he realized that concentrating on just ONE THING was the key, and has been sleeping like a baby.
But for Villagers that need the gadget, it's an easy way to correct a sleeping problem.

Easy to set up, install batteries that are provided and push button, 8 min. button or 20 min. Button. My husband was asleep after 8 minutes. I know this sounds CRAZY but when your desperate for sleep, we will try anything, right?

When my wife has trouble falling asleep, she found that a small fan blowing just below her face...was what worked best for her.

The breeze and the noise reminds her of being in a boat on the water.

I'm one of those lucky ones, that can fall asleep anywhere...at any time.

[Paper1]

Anyone on this thread wake up after 3 hours? I have no trouble falling asleep when I go to bed but always wake up after 3 hours unless I take something.

I get the same thing. Sometimes I fall back to sleep quickly, sometimes I don't.

Medical Marijuana users any thoughts ?

Not a user but a close family member recently had it prescribed to help with pain management. When she took the prescribed dose she was totally stoned...munchies and all. She couldn't walk safely without holding on to someone. Did it help with the pain some? Yes, but not enough to put up with the side effects. She doesn't use it anymore.....before you ask, no you can't have the leftovers....;)

I have not used marijuana since college, but like any drug, its effect on each person is different. I have friends who swear by it for pain management and nausea accompanying chemotherapy.

Nutrition Response Testing (https://trinutritionista.wordpress.com/2016/02/03/is-muscle-testing-to-diagnose-nutritional-status-quackery-or-a-quick-fix/)is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by those who are highly trained and licensed. Or, it is a bunch of thrown together words that mean nothing and have absolutely no basis in science (https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/applied-kinesiology-by-any-other-name/) or medicine but is a product sold by many without any evidence based support.

I wonder if those who claim that Nutrition Response Testing is a valid test of something might, just might, also have an expensive product to sell you right from their very own office to fix the problem? No going to Sam's Club for a vitamin pill, no my friend, you need the very super special product only available right here in our office.

IMO any drug masks the problem and eventually doesn't work, but you stuck with the side effect?

I had sleep problems from migraines which brain tumor caused. Pledged me for 15 years. Now the migraines have subsided, but I still have headaches pretty much daily. My problem if I dose off during the day I have hard time sleeping that night and headaches are boarder line migraines.

I also think if I dose off too long my brain gets nights and days mixed up. Anybody that worked rotating shifts IMO developers sleep disorders. For me to get good night sleep no dosing off during the day, get some good exercise, and no snacks or sugar drinks after 7pm. IMO The no 1 cause of not being able to fall in deep sleep is dosing during the day and no exercise?

Based on your recommendation, I'm planning to buy one.

Regarding Marijuana: I enjoyed it immensely 45 years ago, while in college. I have had occasion to revisit that experience but do not like it. One issue is that you just don't know how potent that particular weed might be. If I drink a shot of Jack Daniels, I know exactly what it is.
Not so with weed.

Anyway, my sleep pattern tends to be that I fall asleep easily, but will wake up every 2 hours or so. Either something will ache, or my bladder will need attention. A good night for me is four 2 hour naps.

On those rare occasions that I have trouble falling asleep, Stan Getz played softly works like a charm.

[Doro22]

Get physical exercise daily.

Unfortunately, most people don't understand medical marajuana and simply associate it with the black market stuff they smoked as a teenager or correlate it with a Cheech and Chong comedy. Many people just can not get over the long rooted stigma that marijuana is only for lazy people that just want to get stoned. They couldn't be more wrong. There are so many different strains of marajuana, as well as ways to consume it without smoking it, the true medical benefits are almost unlimited. As a very vast generalization, there are four types of marajuana, Stativa, Indica, CBD, and Hybrids that contain a combination of at least two of the other listed types. Stativa is what is typically associated with black market marajuana, it's the stuff that gets the user very stoned and in my opinion, has very limited medical use. It is often stated that it is used for anxiety, but in my opinion it causes anxiety and is something I would never use. It gives the user incredible energy, but also an strong high and jitteriness. I think it is pushed as a medical product because it is profitable. It is the easiest to grow and the plants yield huge quantities. Indica on the other hand is more difficult to grow and has a low yield. Like Stativa, Indica has high levels of THC so it gets the user high, but it is a totally different feeling. It is very relaxing and great for insomnia. Couch lock is associated with this strain. CBD dominate marajuana has very little to no THC and does not get the user high, but has the same benefits of all strains of marajuana such as pain relief, is an anti inflammatory, and fights many forms of cancer. Hybrids demonstrate the characteristics of the strains that are cross breeded to create the specific plant. My absolute favorite is a crossbreed between CBD and Stativa that has only trace amounts of THC. It does NOT get me high, but I get the energy from the Stativa and the pain relief and anti inflammatory benefits from the CBD (no more popping Advil and Alive which damages the Kidneys and cardiovascular system). Used before a daily workout it has huge benefits. A very little bit of a good pure Indica before bed and I am asleep as soon as the head hits the pillow, with many happy dreams. I just wish the bladder didn't have to wake me up in a few hours. Lastly, every medical product is carefully tested in a lab and labeled accordingly, so the user knows exactly what they are getting. Very careful experimentation, starting with very low doses allows the user to find what works best for them. Hope this information is helpful. One last thought, if medical marajuana is not the real deal, then why are the pharmaceutical companies by far the largest contributors to the lobbiest against it? Follow the money for the true answers.

Awwww, you give away the secret of most people, nothing like favorite pint before bedtime, in the morning, after lunch, after supper, and the pint at bedtime knocked you right out. :beer3:

[Nucky]

I was awake between 4 and 6 or 7 times a night for years having to go to the bathroom each time. I was wearing a groove in the floor on my path from the bed to the bathroom.

Enter my Primary Doctor in The Villages who send me to a Pulmonologist. I am skeptical but comply because I trust the Doctor. Turns out I have NOTHING other than Sleep Apnea. Two sleep studies that are Video Taped showed that I slept no longer than 8 minutes out of every hour I was "Asleep" and flipped and flopped around, it was sad to watch. My sleep isn't absolutely perfect but I NEVER get up more than one a night anymore and I have an Oxygen machine that feeds into the Bi/Pap or C/Pap Machine with a humidifier. I am thrilled at the progress I've made in the last 8 or 9 months. Ask your Dr. about a Sleep Study. It's safe and the people who administer the test are wonderful. I really hope this saves anyone suffering some grief. I can't recommend it strongly enough.

From what I have been taught lately, this one maneuver can save your life while improving it also. PM me if you need a helping hand. Oh, I also take 10mg of Melatonin each night no matter what. Contributes to the overall success. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz. Good Night!

[Bill32]

If you wake up overly tired in the morning, and your Dr. has checked everything else out, go for a sleep study before trying drugs. I've been using CPAP therapy for 6 years now, it works.

A few months ago my doctor put me on Ambien. The first night I started elbowing my wife, threw some pillows, knocked a lamp over and talked crazy. Talked to my pharmacist the next day, he stated say to dispose the Ambien. He added, this is a very dangerous drug and should never be prescribed.

I didn't find Ambien to be addictive. It just didn't work after about 3 weeks. The doctor had told me that it was for short term use so I decided that 3 weeks was the short term use. The scary thing was that one morning while I was using it I woke up, in pjs, with socks and sneakers on and I never wear socks....ever! It scared me so bad that I was afraid to use it again. I used it once but made my husband hide all the car and cart keys and my shoes and he pinned bells to my side of the bed.
