Why cant i sleep

[SteveO]

I had sleeping tablets off the doctor once and they would totally knock you out but it would take you a couple of hrs to come around in the morning.

That was about 2 yrs ago but I notice that when I train regularly I and get up earlier I tend to sleep better.

Be very careful mate. Take them for as short a period as possible. You can read more about them here:

Just be careful taking stuff for sleeping, the majority of things have some form of side effect otherwise we'd all always be doing them but temazepam isnt to bad just you get used to it very quickly and find yourself upping the dosage which obviously then becomes a danger

shay given certainly is

[aliando]

just to reiterate what col u and idontfeardeath said - temazepam for one week can help, but view it as a help and not something to be repeated. I'm sure you're already aware of the dangers of tolerance (and potential addiction) and needing to increase dose to regain effects in the short term but not everyone will be.

I dont think im going to use it to be honest.....what im going to do is just stay up over night, play some golf the next day and tire myself out, hopefully fall asleep naturally at a reasonable time, and hope my sleeping pattern sorts itself out on its own

I think you just need to go back to Vegas.

Can you not live with it until November?

Hopefully you won't fall asleep in the bunker at the 18th hole.

You not got a Newcastle Utd dvd you could put on?

He put the highlights of 07-08 on and thought it was faulty cos it was blank, then he remembered what sort of a season they'd had.

Try counting sheep, Aliando will give you some tips if needed.

[aliando]

you wanna count them or are we back to masturbating to help you sleep?

[idontfeardeath]

When you get to the 3000th sheep its time to give up and get out of bed!

[aliando]

i'd have lost so much blood by the 3,000th that i'd be inconcious one way or another

[idontfeardeath]

Why what are you doing every time you count a sheep? Using some sort of swiss army knife and stabbing yaself?

I know I've seen this a bit late...believe me I can help you without resorting to drugs.

I used to work all manner of fcuked up hours and my body clock is completely shot.

I have to pay strict attention to what time I get up in the morning now because if I have a lie in - say later than 9am, I find I'm still awake the next morning at 3am.

I now know what works for me, but it takes a lot of attention on my part, especially as I'm married to a woman who would sleep 23 hours a day if I let her.

[idontfeardeath]

But some people just cant sleep Valiant, I have gone 4 days with trying to sleep and not being able to get any (and i know this isn't bad compared to others). I cant remember the last time i got to sleep before 3am and although not proper sleep the only way i will ever get a solid 8 hrs is by taking some sort of drugs or by drinking myself to sleep. Last thing i took was Valerian and although this got me to sleep i had what felt like the worse hangover ever for about 2 days and even more trouble sleeping the next night. I only took it the once because i wasn't waking up feeling like that again it was worse than going through the day with no sleep.

[SteveO]

I've took Valerian root and it just makes you dream like fcuk and you feel more shattered the next day.
