When you can't sleep
 

Hey Sorors and friends!

Ok, it's 4 am in the morning, AND I CAN'T SLEEP!!!! .

What do you guys do(or take/drink) to make you go night night?
I'm open to any suggestions.



QTE ;)

I usually read a book or watch television until my eyes get heavy...

I could not sleep last night either. Sometimes I will drink "Sleepy Time Tea" or if out of that take a 1/2 cup of thera flu since it is a drowsy medication and it chases the germs away as well.

If I can't sleep, I'll usually take some Tylenol PM.

Hot Tea or a Hot Toddie always works for me and if nothing else works Nyquil (sp) always does the job

Melatonin. Natural hormone, knocks you out.

I take one Benadryl capsule. It'll knock you and the germs out!;)

Well... it depends. In many cases I usually pray or talk to God whenever I can't sleep. However there are occasions when... I just wake my husband from his sleep and... well, I'll let you figure out the rest. :D :D :D

I drink a cup of warm milk with vanilla and sugar in it. I'm normally fast asleep before I even finish it.

Melatonin
 

SteelStrap,
Does the melatonin work if you are stressed? I have been soooo stressed lately that I can't fall asleep until around 5 or 6 am!!

damn
 

Damn Classy, Vanilla and Sugar? Girl I will be up all nite if I drink that chit!:D :D :D

It sounds good as heck though.

I Normally pray when I can't go to sleep, because my Great Aunt always told me that God is trying to tell you something, or he wants you to talk to him Even if you don't know what it is, and I ususally go to sleep afterwards.

Hi Delta_Girl1913,

It has worked for me in times of stress, which happens a lot for me because I'm a newspaper reporter. ;)

Usually, I take mine (one pill, these days made by Natrol) about 30 minutes to an hour before I go to bed. These days, I'm combining it with journaling and reading the Bible.

Have a nice hot cup 'o cocoa, and dig into my collection of videotaped game shows and watch them until I begin to fall asleep.

Either that or daydream about beautiful black women:D
