Lack of Sleep

[jaysin]

This lack of sleep has kicked my butt! It has caused me to get sick I am congested and coughing and sneezing. Anyone have a remody that works? I am about ready to put the union suit on and sweats and turn up the heater to 80 crawl uuder the blankets and take a nap and sweat it out.

Well, antibiotics seem a good resort to me, as for the sleep I may have stumbled across a possible help for you. This actually came to me from a druggie friend (great resource sometimes haha) one of his 'tricks' if to mix Tylenol with everything, he swears that it ups the ante so to speak of everything. I tried it laste night, I took NyQuil and three Tylenol. Man it knocked me out something fierce. I slept for 13 hours. I have been trying to sleep for a long time. As far as I see, you have nothing to lose, so give it a try.

Too much acetaminophen, that's what Tylenol is, and there is heaps of it in NyQuil too, good way to damage your liver right there.

It was just a one timer for me, I needed a good nights sleep, and it reset me, I have been sleeping better since

As I try to avoid acetamiotnophen motren and naproxin sodem as much as possable when not needed.

I have 3 ruptured disks and theres times when I hurt bad and take one of the 3 meds a cpl times a day for a week.

Strong earl Grey tea with honey, large scotch/bourbon, some paracetamol or acetaminophen ... Knocks me out every time. But I'm a wimp with meds coz' I never take them. And apparently meds with alcohol is not recommended so do at your own risk ;-)

Mixing meds. is not recommended. Sometimes it will have the opposite effect. NyQuill by itself will probably make you drowsy. If not, try adding one or two Gravol(make sure it is the Drowsy brand) along with your NyQuill. It's safe and effective.

4 fingers of single malt...

Benadryl works for many people.

Well if you live in one of the 15 states this is legal in? A piece of chocolate, HOT HOT shower, and a shot of Ny Quil on the way to bed. You may have some freaky dreams but you will sleep for at least 10 hours. Prep the coffee the night before and you are golden! :wink:

Lol buster I am smack dab in the middle of the bible belt. Indiana just launched a study to investagate the pros of legalizing cannabis. All though I dont think they will because they make way too much money off it!

A routine before bed. I work nights, so getting enough sleep is always a challenge. A routine of tasks(shower, shave, brush your teeth, check pipesmagazine.com forums, etc, etc) before you lay down "tells" your body that it's going to be time to sleep soon. It works.

 

[jaysin]

Joe912 I have ADHA and sleep is difficalt to begin with couple that when PTSD kicks in forget it.

 

[matchstickman]

I used to drink hard liquor to help me fall alseep, but I gave that up when I met my girlfriend. However, the nicotine in a couple of bowls of good pipe tobacco along with a couple of beers at night time is the ticket for me. If its been a particularly stressful day, Ill have a couple of toots of snuff for good measure. Something else that I have found that works really well is a couple of benadryl taken with a glass of milk.

 

[baronsamedi]

Ambien is cheap and most doctors will prescribe it. You just can't have it with alcohol or THIS will happen.

 

[hobie1dog]

You're smoking the wrong stuff before bedtime. :wink:

 

[firstwordisee]

Sorry you are sick Jaysin. You recieved some good advice here. Best of luck.

Ty everyone. A friend of my wife came by to drop off some stuff she gave the wife the directions for a tea and the wife made it. I am pooring sweat and starting to fell a bit better.
