Do you think sleeping pills can help?

Hi redphile,
That story happen in one of hundred.
I mean your case is rare happen.
I got friend who actually got hardy to sleep.
What he do is take a sleep pill as you recommend.
At the first, it was effective.
He can sleep after took that pile.
He continuous took it for everyday.
The long effect is he got addicted with that pill.
Without that pills he cannot sleep.
Here i would like to share with you how to get sleep better.
you are tired working but still did not get sleep.
How about you go for listening story or watch a long adventure movie.
Maybe your eyes got sleepy.
Then you will sleep.

Regards.

they said that there are side effects in taking up sleeping pills redphile. i suggest you to exercise and proper diet. and my other suggestion would be, take a swim in the pool or at the beach and tire yourself up (^^,) hehe

According to me a big NO for sleeping pills But i am seeing a lot of us from college students to retired employees taking sleeping pills in a frequently .These pills have the ingredients which causes a mild addiction to our human system so frequent usage of these pills will cause severe side effects . The sleeping pills are mainly for those depressed and feels rejected from the real world. If you think that you are depressed and not able to sleep first consign all your emotions and stuffs to a psychiatrist .. then if prescribed you can take it ..

I have been taking sleeping pills for about 30 years now but off and on.
I never take the pill every night but only when I really need it. When I am in fatigue,exhausted and stress, I have to take the pill. Now I am taking a third of Xanax( 0.5mg) and it helps to relax my mind and then fall asleep. I never take it more than half because scared I might get addicted.

I used to take OTC sleeping pills because I'm an insomniac but I've gotten varied effects from them. One of the pills I took didn't make me sleepy at all even if I was taking the maximum dosage. Then the other one I took made me too dependent on it to the point where I couldn't sleep without popping one in. I think that's the worst that can happen, being overly dependent on the sleeping pill. Thank God I was able to get over my dependency on sleeping pills. Maybe it would be best if you consulted a doctor first and ask him what sleep-inducing pill you should take.

I used to stay up all night, a real night owl, until I had a heart attack and then over night my life changed. I also started waking up before 5am and couldn't go back to sleep so I would get up. It felt like the middle of the night.

I wanted to try sleeping pills but then my thoughts would go back many years to my mother who had so many addictions and I just couldn't take them.

My doctor tells me that he can prescribe non-addictive sleeping pills but I still can't bring myself to use them.

I decided to try meditation to relax myself and that seems to have worked wonders. I will meditate about an hour before I want to retire for the night.

I still get up really early but at least I sleep now.

I'm a Chronic Insomniac and I actually do take pills for my sleep and even then its not the best sleep BUT at least I sleep for a couple hours at a time....My husband however is like you..he works hard all day and when he gets home he's just beat...falling asleep isnt an issue for him but staying asleep is and getting good sleep is....His problem IMO is that he's not giving his brain a chance to wind-down..Even when he is seemingly relaxing (like when we watch a movie together for example) you can tell him mind is still goin a mile a minute....

I would suggest to you that you change up your nighttime/before bed routine...Shut the computer off or tv etc an hour before going to bed..dim the lights, maybe try some breathing exercises or guided meditation....There are numerous things you could try before resorting to pills....NOT ALL pills are addictive BUT getting in the habit of takin a pill to go to bed can be...If after trying a variety of things you still are having trouble then I would suggest goin to your doc for meds as an absolute last resort

Hi Redphile,

All the peoples would have similar problems of sleepless
night and also it is too danger, if you don't have the good sleep
in the night time. Because according to the medical suggestion we
should sleep at least for the period of 6 to 8 hours daily in order
to have the good mentality and also having the good energy to active
more and more in our work. So still you have similar problems then better
to go and see your nearest doctor for the consultation and he may writes
for the mild type of sleeping pills for the period of 5 to 7 days, and then
you have the good sleeping in remaining days.

Have a nice day.

I am feeling so bad for you about your insomnia.

Sleeping pill? NEVER AND NEVER.

It will form your dependency on drugs. In course of time it will create further more complicacy.

Do some yoga exercises and if possible do meditation.

You need to make your mind and soul convinced that you should sleep. Your body feels exhausted and tired, it means that the body needs to sleep. But problem is with the mind and soul. In these cases, meditation helps a lot. Have a sound sleep tonight. Thank you.

I have had insomnia for years now, and every doctor I've been too suggested pills.
even so, I never took them and never will- I rather find other ways to fall asleep and not pop pills>_>
