    Sleeping pills do not seem like a big deal. All i can say is sleep 2 hours a day for a few weeks and you will wish you were dead. For some reason i can not shut my brain down for the night.


    Sounds exactly like me Dave. It is seriously debilitating.

    Got about 3 hours sleep last night. Was awake for hours. I can keep my eyes closed, and rest. (But) Actually getting some sleep, is seriously elusive.

    Drags you down.

    Yep the no sleep thing can really get you down. Since my cardiologist has been writing prescriptions for Ambien for me I've not had that problem. The really good thing about Ambien is no hangovers. Other sleeping pills that I've taken leave me feeling like I was drunk the night before.

    Every single time I have asked for Ambien, (Cardiologist, Primary Care provider, Nurse Practioner at work,) they look at me like I am asking for Crack.

    No one, will prescribe it.

    My family doctor acts the same way as your doctors. My cardiologist is just the opposite. He sees no problem with prescribing a medicine that works. Since I've been sleeping I don't have the problem with heart arrhythmia which is a really good side effect of being able to sleep.

    I asked my family doctor just what his problem was with prescribing Ambien and he said he's not supposed to prescribe it to anyone over 65 years old because it increases the possibility of falling. I said so you'd rather I just die from no sleep instead of falling?

    I don't believe the 65 year old thing or else my cardiologist wouldn't be able to write it either. My family doctor has continued to try to get me to do a sleep study thing which I think is the real reason...MONEY! Plus he's just a horse's ass!

    Phone: 202-224-2023

    Senator Tim Kaine

    Its crazy i will lay in bed thinking about things that make no sense. What i did today and what i want to get done tomorrow, then read for a while. Take more Meletonin which stopped working about a year ago.

    Plus start thinking about things which makes no sense and then into deeper things which should be never thought of.

    Then i will go in the living room and sleep on the couch or in a spare bedroom. When i get like this my wife hates me staying in bed because i toss and turn and mess her sleep up also.

    I dont work so her sleep is more important than mine. To me it is any way.
