Sleep aid

[cashflyer]

I take two generic Benadryl's (Diphenhydramine HCI - 25mg). These are non-habit forming unlike many of the other sleep aids.

DPH-HCL and DPH citrate are the most common active ingredients in OTC sleep aids. Promethazine is the other common ingredient.

Though it may not be habit forming, the body can build a tolerance to DPH effectiveness in as little as 3 consecutive days.

Thankfully I've never had any problems sleeping. My wife does sometimes and always keeps "MidNite" on hand. Says it works for her:

Who goes to bed before 12-1am??? I wish I could though. Even when I have to get up early I cant ever fall asleep before 1-2am. Ironically, I'm typing this at 2:01am..

Listen to the Dead sober.

Aside from that, sex.

Can't understand anyone on this forum having trouble sleeping, don't you all
keep a copy of the oil thread on your bedside table?

I have been looking for my sleep help book and have not located it.Your situation if I recall needs you to get up earlier to reschedule your inner sleep clock. If you normally get up say at 7.30 then u need to set your alarm at say 7 am so you will be tired earlier in the evening. You may not consider it a problem though in your existing situation.....

For those of you that have sleeping problems and want to go without drugs you might consider this book - No More Sleepless Nights by Peter Hauri and Shirley Linde. Publisher is John Wiley and Sons Inc.

Unfortunately... I get up at 5:30AM to make into work on time...

The Benadryl type things knock me out but only for a few hours...

Been doing the pre bed shower thing for most of my life... works well but doesn't help with the after midnight wake up.

I do have several old books on philosophy... I could give that a shot

Thanks for all the replies!
