☹️☹️☹️Sorry for those having problems sleeping…Im still in recovery so insomnia hits me once in a while…Things getting better thi but off n on…Im afraid of the sleep aids like benadryl….melatonin is no help either…
What helps me is hard core exercise but these days I can only do walking and light calesthenics. Hang in there buffy. |

Sometime I have physical pain in my back or my leg from the bone marrow I had done that keeps me awake or sometime it is neither one of those that keeps me awake.

Please tell me someone has experience with Belsomra. its been useless for me so far. I am unsure if its like ambien and causes you to fall asleep or if its something that requires titration.

I was prescribed Prozac and Hydroxyzine last week, both for anxiety, but the Hydroxyzine can also be prescribed for sleep. I take some of that at bedtime and it has helped a little but I'm still tossing and turning and awake more than I'd like, but my sleep has improved a little. Might experiment one of these nights by not taking it at all and see what happens.

I never tried it or ever heard it. Sometime Lauren Fenton sleep meditation helps me sleep depending on how bad my insomnia is.

Been having trouble sleeping the past couple nights…Still in recovery…230 days now…guess it’s gonna be that way for awhile…I read in some cases, a year of sobriety before sleep starts to normal out….Yeah I get that since I used to drink myself to sleep alot. ☹️

My doctor thinks that it is because I am under a lot of stress. Unless I take something for me to sleep. I won’t sleep at all. |

Catsrock has no updates. Edit
Member Since: Sep 2021 Location: CT Posts: 6 (SuperPoster!) I have a natural remedy for insomnia which may or may not work for you. When you are lying in bed, relax your body, then hold your breath and count to 30 . If its difficult you can count to 20. Then breath in gently. Count silently in your mind. It interrupts thoughts that may be troubling you. Breath normally after that for a while, then do it again. You can repeat this indefinitely till you fall asleep. This technique also lowers blood pressure. When holding your breath, do not strain yourself but do it for a comfortable time. Good luck! |
