Isn't that interesting. Lunesta did absolutely nothing for me. Ambien is fine, but I can't afford it. So I take generic xanax, just at bedtime. So does Alan, but he takes it for his neuropathy. I just take it to sleep. Works just fine.

I've never been a sleeper. I drove my mother crazy as a child. She always said "no wonder I didn't want any more children after you, you never slept." I don't remember any of this. I do remember not being a good sleeper. I used to get up every few hours. Always. Got worse after I became a mother. Never slept.

Then I had my first experience with Ambien about 10 years ago. What a gift.

Haven't been on sleeping meds for 10 years though. Only been on them for about 3 or 4. If I didn't take them, I would be up all night. I did a sleep study at a sleep apnea center. Of course I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and got the machine. It's in my closet. I looked like the creature from the black lagoon with that thing on my face. So, since I lost most of my weight, Alan has not complained about my snoring. I rub VICKS on my chest and I take my generic xanax at !! PM.

Takes about an hour to kick in but I sleep just fine.

I wonder about people who can just lay their head down on a pillow and sleep through the night. I don't know how they do that (without meds I mean).

Oh, Alan just came home from the health fair in NYC. I'm posting a thread on that.
