Hi Lilly !

So this is my suggestion which may or may not work for you.

I have had a similar problem and found that not much has helped me other than guided sleep mediation videos on youtube. I turn these on when I lay down and I listen to it. Usually I fall asleep within 10 minutes of it.

I will try that thanks for the suggestion 😊

I used to have asthma. It's not fun, Sweating and out of breath all the time.

After 12 years of sleeping one hour a night I fixed it by right before bedtime eating something taking a Melatonin sleep hormone and some CBD. Works well for me but different things work for different people.

I tried so hard to do well on this website then I got in a bad mood and basically attacked someone brand new and probably scared her half to death. I feel like a complete idiot. With all my experience that is the best I can do. Utterly pathetic and an Embarrassment. I acted like I'm bigger and badder and better than everybody else them get A like for it like I did something good .

Ever really screw up when you should know better???

I just did.

take melatonin but it doesn’t work for me anymore . Yes I screwed up once now i realized my mistake and I’m learning to improve and learn from it it happens sometimes and its ok 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

I'll get over it.

Melatonin alone will never work.

I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut when I haven't slept in a long time.

When I see what I wrote I can't believe how Hostile I can be.

It’s good to reflect and improve 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

I guess it is good to look back at yourself and know that you can do better. I just really don't like disappointing myself.

I really work hard to say something helpful.

[Hb2003 in reply to Hidden]

That’s good that you at least try sometimes i the same really dont like disappointing myself

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

That we are on this site proves that we are doing the right thing.

[Hb2003 in reply to Hidden]

Exactly 😊

I wanted to post something like this. I take zolpidem er (generic Ambien er). I cannot go w/o it because I won't sleep at all then. I've had people say warm milk, one can beer, count sheep (who knew huh). I cannot take OTC melatonin as that doesn't work either. It's zolpidem er or don't sleep at all for me. 😒

I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes happens multiple times

Being on your phone or computer will give you insomnia . Its the blue lightCut off your screen time early or blue light glasses
