I made this thread as pretty much a joke, Its just a place we can all come and either report we were able to get some sleep and a place for people to find comfort knowing they are not the only one unable to get sleep..

Do you have a PRN Med for when you really hit a wall and cant sleep ? Years ago Zyprexa was something I would take only one when I had gone days without sleep and it sometimes helped. About 5 years ago I was given Thorazine IP as I hadnt slept in 5 or 6 days I took one and slept 16 hours.. Ive only take one 3-4 over the years, when I really was coming unglued.

I dont know if that is something your Pdoc would consider, But I would sure ask for something extra to take for a night when sleep has to happen..
