mihcmac Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I listen to TV series with my small headphones, particularly with lots of dialog, like Stargate and Dr Who. Edited October 31, 2021 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a big part of the solution, but took a month to get use to it. Latex mattress. I elevate the head section about 10-15 degrees and that helps more. Maybe a breathing thing. But the best and quickest fix to get my over my 'Situational Anxiety' from 2020 was my doctor's prescription for a heavy duty anti-allergy med they often use in hospitals to relieve stress for pre-op patients. Only had to take half of the pills. Not throughout the day as suggested - only at night. Saving the second half for the mid-term elections. 😘 So - as others here have suggested - antihistamines like Benadryl, which list drowsiness as a side effect (as opposed to newer ones which have eliminated that side effect for daytime use) maybe a good, short term, safe first step. It seemed like a lifetime ago I would wake up at 4am and pace the kitchen for 2+ hours until the family woke up. Good Luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I find switching the tube to "C-Span" works pretty well too. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
har_vie Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) There was a period of time when I struggled with insomnia. I had family related problems and my anxiety caused it. Therefore, I took pills to fall asleep. However, I soon got some health issues. It was stated on Canadian pharmacy that my meds could be the reason, the sides were the ones I experienced. So I decided to stop medications and find another solution. Now I'm trying to keep regular sleep hours, exercise regularly, relax before going to bed, etc. I also noticed that my diet influences insomnia as well.

DanvillRob Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I never really had insomnia, but most of my life I didn't get the sleep I should have. Doctor told me a few years ago that I probably had sleep apnea, and should go to a sleep clinic. I did....found I was on the high side of moderate apnea, (14 events per hour....15 is considered severe). Got a CPAP machine and retired....now I generally get 7 hours per night, and don't need a daily nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
