Alan Schaefer Walk-on

And I always feel “sleepy” the next day.

Ambien truly is a great medicine. Whether u get a lot or sleep at all, I never feel any side effects or lingering drowsiness/heavy.

When I lay in bed trying to fall asleep I have little success.

I review the temple ordinances, that always makes me fall asleep

Sounds counterintuitive, but a cold shower.

A hot bath but air drying works for me … the same chilling effect I think

I suggest hot ice. It’s the best of both worlds.

Many people will disagree but for me, figuring out how much sleep I really need was key.

Read a few chapters of a book that's interesting but not exciting (currently, I'm using St. Augustine's "City of God"

Fellow insomnia sufferer here. A few things that may help:

Lanterne Rouge

May 14, 7:34am

I really struggle with waking up middle of the night. Sigh. One thing that helps

runnincoug

May 14, 7:46am

Yeah, sleep maintenance insomnia is the worst

Lanterne Rouge

May 14, 7:51am

I don't think there is any one thing that works for everyone. One thing that has helped me is listening to an audiobook

As someone who has always had trouble sleeping, an Ambien prescription has been a life saver.
