Insomnia
Hello, and boy do I like this site!
I've been experiencing insomnia lately. Part of it is from the crazy muscle spasms I get in my abdomen. A few weeks ago I didn't fall asleep at all, and ended up just going into work at 3:30 AM and working till 4:00. That was hard. Last night I got three hours or so of sleep, and worked a full day, doing a presentation too. I've tried every herbal tea, but that just makes me pee more. I've tried melatonin, but on that my sleep doesn't get too deep, and I wake easily in the middle of the night. Last night I took three Klonopin, and that did nothing. Tylenol PM doesn't work either. What the heck do I do? I work with the mentally ill, and I have to be very alert at work. I've even counted sheep, which is a joke! That doesn't work either. Any tips?
On the bright side, I now have abs of steel, with absolutely no effort on my part. I could break a rock on those things! But I'd happily trade them for a good night's rest! Oh, I've also tried Flexeril and Soma for the spasms. They help a little, but not enough to help me sleep.
Thanks for any advice!
