Q: Have to Have a Sleeping Machine to Sleep?????

I have a sleeping problem that I have had for years. It started when I began taking diet pills. I would need the aid of sleeping medication to make me sleep. This is ten years later and I still need over the counter pills to make me sleep. I also have to hear a noise while I sleep. I beleive this stemmed from living on railroad tracks and not being able to sleep through the horns. I would have my fan on the drown out the noise of the hrons. It will usually be a fan or I found a sound I like on the sound machine. If I forget to turn it on, I will not sleep. Also if I forget to take my pills I will not sleep. If I go on vacation or sleep at someone's house I never sleep, because usually they do not have a fan. Can anyone help me with this problem. It is actually ruining my relationship with a new boyfriend because I can't sleep at all in his bed. Any suggestions, I would apprecaite it. I hope there is a cure out there.

I have a far less difficult time with sleep, but it is difficult at times. I also have that problem when traveling I rarely sleep. I have found that sometimes tylenol pm or melatonin can help.


Sounds like you need a docs help. Using the sleep aides too long can make sleep even harder. A doc could help or switch meds to a better one...
My daughter has to have a fan too, we bought her a small one that folds and she can take it with her when we travel....It was not expensive at walmart,

take care! Hope you can get to sleep better!
