Thumbs up Insomnia...

Hi Mr. H,

I still have trouble now and then sleeping. I have tried many different things but have not used prescription sleeping aides.

Now I take Tylenol PM 2 tablets at bedtime and listen to music on my little CD Player in bed. It really stops my thinking to concentrate on the music or the rain or forest sounds of birds....!

If I am still wide awake, which doesn't happen much anymore, I just get up and go on my computer...play a game or read some of the posts.

I do stay up later but go to bed about the same time every night and get up about the same time every morning. I am retired so don't have a specific schedule to worry about but the sleep problem is better if I do it the same times every night. I also take my meds at the same times every day.

Hope you can find a better solution. In beginning sobriety I couldn't sleep so just read and read but couldn't tell you a thing I had read because my concentration was so bad.

Keep on Keepin On....Keep Coming Back.... :ghug2
