Have to Have a Sleeping Machine to Sleep????? Posted: 01-30-05 18:32pm
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,
