Taking sleeping Pills!

[Naiwen]

I've scheduled an appointment by phone with my GP today to have some sleeping pills prescribed to me. It's been 6 months since I've been sleeping badly currently in life having dissociation and stress and anxiety attacks at night. I hope with them, I can sleep well at last.

Did you get your sleeping pills? How did they work last night? Sleep well?

Nah, picking them up this Saturday.

Sorry to hear that you are prescribed for sleeping pills.

When I lost my husband few years back, even i was prescribed for those as I used to get anxiety attacks. A youth pastor asked me to throw all those pills into the trash and supported me through Prayers then. It helped a lot.

Since 2 months, am going through depression and anxiety due to a break up and was prescribed anti-anxiety pills. They earlier used to make me feel drowsy when at work but now that went down to some extent. I am only taking one now and it seems to help.

I found another way to sleep which seems to be working great for me. I have night long Prayers on or Praise & worship available on youtube/internet. I simply place my tab or laptop on charging and have them on very low volume a little far from bed. I am able to sleep well.

I thought of sharing with you and hope it helps you too. I am sure God is mindful of our stress and anxiety. HE is going to turn the situation around soon. Dont give up!!

Higher meat consumption (esp red meat) is often associated with sleeping disorders, including sleep apnea.

Might be an option to look into depending on your situation.

Now that I'm older I don't sleep as well as I used to. When I was young, I could sleep 8 hours or more no problem. Now I'm lucky if I get 6-7 hours of sleep.

I'm having that trouble too but my thyroid hormones are being adjusted now so I hope it gets fixed again.

I do not need to take sleeping pills. Whenever I hit the hay, I end up falling into a deep sleep within 5 minutes. The period of sleep (7-9 hours) feels like one minute - I'm not sure why it goes so quickly!

I don't like taking anything because some prescription drugs are hard on your heart, liver, and kidneys. I took prescription medications for years and they made me sicker than a dog sometimes. If I have a horrible headache, I'll consider taking some Ibuprofen and laying down.
