Eat a spoonful of honey right before you go to bed. Go ahead, try it for a few days.

A CD of Biden speeches ?

I find the radio station on Direct TV (channel 856) to be a great sleep aid. Soft music. The station is called “New Age”. Anybody else listen to it?

[murron]

I don’t listen to that, but I do have New Age relaxation music on my IPod and listen to that when I have trouble sleeping. I also like Celestial Seasons Sleepytime tea. It relaxes me so much and helps me to sleep without waking up feeling lethargic the next morning,. I drank it every day in the weeks leading up to the election.

Great music! Love it to sleep or when writing/working.

Reminds me of the music they played on subliminal tapes.

Back in the 1980s friend of mine who was overweight would listen to a weight loss tape in his car. Unfortunately he once listened to the self-hypnotic side and not the subliminal side and he was driving. He fell asleep and crashed his car. Major accident. He ended up in the hospital for several weeks, lost feet of his intestines. In the end, he lost about 100 pounds which was a few pounds below his targeted weight. True story!

Melatonin.

Trazodone.

AMEN!

I used to use Ambien which left me groggy in the morning. Melatonin works just a well, is cheaper and doesn’t have me walking around in the middle of the night fast asleep.

[mlizzy]

We use Formula 303 or Young Living's RutaVaLa (which is similar).

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is the same exact stuff they used to say about Ecstasy.

And cocaine.

[Monty22002]

And ambien too.. At the start it was touted as non-tolerance and non-addictive.

I tturn on a rain app on my kindle with a low rumble of thunder in the background — works very well

Awwww Hell Naw!!

Who wants to sleep without bizarre dreams? Taking a Benadryl (diphenhydramine)is a trip without leaving the farm.

[Rushmore Rocks]

I have a terrible problem with insomnia. My body is tired, but my mind just won’t slow down. A melatonin helps me get to sleep, but doesn’t keep me asleep. About two in the morning I am wide awake, take a Benydryl and read FR. That helps. I refuse to use any prescription drugs for sleep.

Really! They give wierd dreams? In the summer I take one a day because I'm allergic to bee stings and someone told me that it's a good thing to take as it may lesson the effects of the bee sting.

When I was trying to stop smoking the doctor gave me those pills to help you stop (Chantex(sp) or something like that) those gave me wierd dreams. I stopped taking them and went to E-Cigs.

I didn't like that at all.

No sugar rush?

I seem to dream with Benadryl. Chantex was bad stuff. I don’t think it is pushed anymore. Remember, you could smoke for the first week? Well, I heard that the pills were doing nothing that first week. Apparently, after the first week the real drugs were delivered...that’s when you went bat @ss crazy. Bad drug.
