What have you found that gets you more than a few hours of ZZZZs? My neurologist wants me to take ambien. My rheumatologist suggests muscle relaxant. And benedryl makes me wound up. I am not drinker but I am exhausted...What have you found that works? (I know turn off the computer earlier (%)...but besides that)
In addition to the comments above on Ambien, my mother was prescribed Ambien a few months ago when she was in the hospital to help her sleep, and it actually had the opposite reaction in her case! In fact, she became very agitated and was ready to fight everybody!
The last few nights have been exhausting because the night had really weird dreams too, Too much input and not enough of a solution during the day I guess.
I can fall asleep anytime during the day - all I have to do is close my eyes. But I just can't manage enough to get ahead.
Benadryl sent me over the edge. I don’t know if I had been dreaming or what. But story goes hubby and I had been sitting in living room watching a movie and I had fallen asleep. He woke me up to go to bed and I immediately attached him. Diving on top and chocking him and hitting. Once he got me to snap out of the fog, I was so embarrassed. So no more Benadryl for me.
