Are you drinking cafine before bed?

Do youtake any sleep aids over the counter?

I have been having the same problem. I don't get to sleep until around midnight every night. My husband is a marine and he works very strange hours, most days he wakes up between 3 and 4am and when he wakes up...I wake up. Then I go to sleep around 5am and wake up at 11am. Luckily our 3 year old daughter sleeps when I sleep or else I would lack serious sleep. Anyways (sorry i'm blabbing on and on)...
I tried tylenol pm-i didn't want any addictive rx drugs and it worked. It gets me to sleep in no time and I don't wake up when my husband wakes. I wake up refreshed now! It might work for you too, it's worth a try. Hope I helped. Good luck.

Tylenol pm is awesome..I work third shift and it is hard to go to bed when the sun is out!! Also I recently discovered that benadryll has the same active ingredient as tylenol pm and works just as good.. Its cheaper also..I get a 90 ct bottle of generic at walmart...It also helps my allergies-i have two ferrets and they make me sneeze..But I love em so im keeping them!


Good luck with the sleeping....

This sleeping concern bothered my dad before. My dad is a late night taxi driver. Whenever he gets home he is always unable to sleep well... He will go come home at 4am after driving and at 6am, he'll go out and do his taiji even though if he needs sleep desparately,because he couldn't go to sleep at all. That's when I resorted to get a sleep therapy bed system for him. In the first place, he was quite uncomfortable with it, throat dry, abit hot to sleep in. Cause instructions were given that the "far infra-red ray" will make your body increase metabolism, water absorption rate increase.I used to disbelieve any beds, cos for the magnetic fields, you must place the bed in the right direction or whatever, else it will not be good. Haha its like feng shui! That's why I choosed a non-magnetic one. Whatever. After 2 weeks, he was able to sleep soundly, not easily disturbed by the surroundings and he's not accompanying me to go for morning exercises anymore. Is that good or bad? Haha~* well, anyway, just wanna share the experience with u all. :)

I guess the morning exercises (right before bed) were probably not helping him wind down...But exercise for anyone at the right time of day are actually good for people who cant sleep, just not right before bedtime...:)

oh, he went to exercise because he couldn't sleep, not because of exercise, therefore he can't sleep. That's why, now he's able to sleep well, he's not accompanying me to exercise anymore. Haha~*
