NYC- How's it going today? I feel for you with the loss of sleep problem. I am way too stressed out with everything I'm doing, so I'm trying to cut myself some slack and be ok with not being perfect. :o) I'm the kind that might fall asleep ok, but in the middle of the night wake up and have problems falling back to sleep-hamster in my brain. I get about 6 hours average, but I could use 8 or more. Sometimes I take half an antihistamine tablet to ensure I sleep through the night. Now- I hope I don't get flamed for suggesting it, but I know people take benadryl or tylenol p.m. for help sleeping. It's just something I know helps me, and also something I don't do all the time. I asked my dr. about it and she said it's not addictive- you could take one every night. Thank goodness. I also use a meditation cd to help me relax and take my mind off stress. On top of everything else going on I can't be sleep deprived- it makes everything harder. I hope you are feeling better today.
