Working rotating shifts in the ER for over thirty years messed up my sleep habits terribly. I couldn't sleep at night or during the day. Retiring with regular sleep hours has been amazing. I usually read a novel for 30-60 minutes before going to sleep, and I still use 10 mg of melatonin every night, and I sleep quite well.
Commonly recommended suggestions: try to maintain regular sleep hours. Sex early in evening rather than late. More than one or two alcohol drinks has a deleterious effect on sleep. No caffeine after 3 pm. No LED screens before bed. If you must, use the blue-free color option on your device. Exercise regularly. |

Hello,
Two thoughts. Even though Ambien has received some bad press from the news it is one of the "cleanest" sleep products. It does not cause rebound insomnia. I launched the product when it was new. The correct way to take it is sitting on the bed, take Ambien with water, lay down and go to sleep. Do not - watch TV, iron cloths, make a sandwich or get on the computer - go to sleep. I take it almost every night. If I awake at 2:00 am I take 1/2 of an Ambien. Great product. Another important area to consider is sleep apnea. I had a study completed a few years ago and learned I stopped breathing 35 times per hour! Easy to treat with CPAP machine. Check with your primary care or go directly to a pulmonologist that specializes in sleep apnea. Good luck. |

I sit in a dark room for 30-45 minutes before bedtime to decompress. Then 1/4 Ambien and 5MG sublingual melatonin. I’m a hard core lifetime insomniac. Even my DNA results on 23 and Me showed a predictor for insomnia. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
