Before you can get advice from peeps, best to let them know what your sleep patterns are like, what time do you go to bed, what do you do before bed, eat, drink, etc.

I started having sleeping problems last july when I left the company I had been with for 15 years. My doc tried ambien and then sonata with limited short term success. However, these drugs are additive and for short term use only. My problem became chronic and that's when I discovered an alternate solution. I remembered that when I was younger and I smoked a little pot that all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. So I tried pot for the first time in 20 years and it worked. About 3 months ago I tried "a hit" of pot after I got home from work around 6 pm, by 9 pm I was in bed sleeping, really sleeping. Now all I do is take one hit after the kids are in bed and I have a wonderful night of sleep. Let me make it clear that I am not promoting the use of illegal drugs but this is what worked for me. Pot may not work for you but it has worked so well I had to share this with others.
