Default I took Lunest at 3:30 and tried to stay up.

I feel like was absent the day we were taught how to go to sleep.

Such a moron.

Still awake.
3 mgs of Lunesta work well. I got very sleepy.
I got on facebook and fought through the sleepiness.

Cleaning lady has to be here at 3:00 pm HA!

I'll be sleeping in the afternoon when she gets here. I'll tell her to let me nap.
She's going to chat and talk and talk talk..
I wonder if the Lunesta will cause a hangover from not getting enough sleep????????

I need some pills to teach me to sleep.

Default This Lunesta tastes awful

I think I heard on the web somewhere that the taste goes a way in a few weeks.
I sure could use some sleep.

Default Thanks, Bobby

It costs more than my usual meds.

I will give it a few more nights before I give up.

I see the tdoc on Fri. For a very long time, she has been encouraging me to talk to the pdoc seriously about sleep.

I'll see what she has to say.

Unhappy

I am confused, did you get any sleep this weekend?
this sounds very frustrating.
I am sorry about your sleep issues.
bizi
ambien worked better for me than lunesta,
in both cases you have to make yourself go to bed while you aresleepy,
and that is the problem.
((((HUGS))))

Dear Bizi,
I don't like to go to bed so this whole thing about taking pills is pretty useless.

I am wondering if you did say something different than thinking of it as
going to sleep. Like if you sat in a recliner instead of laying in the bed.
Or laid on the couch, if you could just drift off.

I'm confused...

You took Lunesta and then forced yourself to stay awake even though you grew tired/sleepy ?????

I undertand not wanting to and/or feeling fearful of falling asleep...
But why take a medicine to help you sleep and then fight it???

Hi, Abbie,

I got the medicine from the pdoc because the tdoc says I need more sleep.

I don't like to go to bed. It's sort of a phobia.

Dear Donna,
Chairs and sofas and floors work.
That's what I used to do.
Then pdoc said it is very important to wear the cpap machine when I am sleeping. He made everything more complicated.

I could set up the cpap near the sofa. It might work but it has problems too.
