Now got some sleeping pills and more pain killers

Your reaction may get better with a few days rest. If it does not and it continues to disturb your husband because your breathing is stressed you should talk it over with your doctor.

it could be that you have some sleep apnea and need to make sure you don't sleep on your back

Tell the doctor. Maybe there is another pill you can take. No pill should change your breathing!

No no not the pills? That would just add up to some other problems... I don't know what will be the best for you, because everybody's different, but then if you ask me, I would say that doing something that really bores you help sometimes... like me, if I find it really hard to sleep, then Imma get myself something to read and I would definitely fall asleep minutes after the reading started.. for some it can be watching TV late at night, counting numbers, it could be anything.. give it a try!! I wish the best for you ^^

I think it is better for you to drink a warm cow milk before you sleep. After warming the cow milk, the chemical inside the milk will change. I can not recall the name of this chemical which can help you to fall asleep. During the day time, you are not advise to drink tea, coffee and pop drinks. All of these drinks contain caffeine which will make you awake. If you can not sleep because of your sickness with pain, I don't think the above are helpful to you. Anyhow, before you consume any sleeping pills and pain killer pills, I advise you to consult and to be examined by a professional doctor first. For me, I shall consume the pills which are prescribed by the qualified doctors only.

I never wanted to sleep before morning 2am and i never wanted to wake up before 10 am if the day is a holiday.

I sympathize with you. I don't think sleeping pills are good for people but I'd certainly love to have some! I'm so sick of and exhausted by being awakened several times every night with pain in my bones or cramps in my legs or aches in my back. Call your doctor and tell him your husband's concerns. He may want to change your medication or reduce the strength.

A few years ago my husband was having a lot of problems sleeping at night and they started him off on one medication to help him sleep and it wasn't doing anything to help him sleep. So, they gave him another medication and he didn't think that would really do anything for him either, but it did. When I got home that evening, he was pretty much knocked out, he was staggering through the house because the medication had him that messed up.

Take care hen sleeping pills or any kind of pain killers to help you sleep. you can quickly become addicted to taking them. That could give you a far different problem than loss of sleep.

I never take the sleeping pills as people say you would be addicted once you take it. I will try to listen to the gentle music to fall asleep. Try to give yourself the hint that you are tired and want to fall asleep. Or listening to the dull and repeat sound would be helpful for your sleeping.

I've had people tell me that not only do I snore, I breathe and stop...and breathe and stop. I think I sleep pretty well even with all the stuff I do when I'm sleeping. I'd keep trying the sleeping pills, but if it continues to be a problem (for you husband), I'd talk to my doctor.

hello there, Actually, being insomniac or sleepless is a manifestation of depression. It is the state of anxiety. Most people suffer from this disorder and don't know how to manage it. And like you, your last recourse is to take sleeping pills to put you to sleep. It would be useful for times but it would not be good for you health since you won't get to sleep without it. I guess you have to give yourself a break. When you are consumed by the worries about things your are facing at home or at work, you must find some time to breathe. In my case, I do have the same problem. I don't advice you to the same thing but it is very effective for me. at times, I would go out and spend some time for a drink and listen to live bands before going to sleep. I don't do it everyday but I do it very often. Relaxation is a key to get a good sleep. Do not sleep over your worries. You may develop a positive thought that you still have tomorrow to think of a better solution to resolve whatever is bothering you. I hope this would help you somehow.

I also have a tendency towards insomnia mostly from the medication that I am now taking. I saw online that many people get insomnia from it. It's weird because sometimes it makes me sleepy and other times it keeps me awake. I take Lunesta, but sometimes I get sleepy the next day during the day and I think it's because of it. Then I have to take a nap and then I don't get tired at night. Vicious cycle. I've also taken Ambien before and I have a few Ambien CR, but their really old so I don't think they work as well or the dosage is too low because I will take one and not sleep then another not sleep and finally a Lunesta. I probably shouldn't take so many but the dosages are so low I don't think it's a problem. The breathing is weird. I hope it's not too shallow. Are you going to continue taking them?

Hey Dont use pain killers & sleeping pills everytime. They are hazardous to health. You try to discuss regarding your issue with the doctor for better solution rather than this.

Hi jugsjugs, I'm sorry that you have to take painkillers and sleeping pills in order get to sleep. It's little wonder that your husband was concerned. You are in my thoughts. Blessings.

I know how you feel. Pain is what makes me get out of bed when I would love to sleep a few more hours and can't. I have never tried sleeping pills. I have tried things like ny-quil when sick-just keeps me awake so I don't take those types of things anymore.

What's happening to u? WHy would u need painkiller and sleeping pills? If possible, dun eat too much of pain killers because it does not do your heart any good. I had my first try of pain killer in my life, and i really regret taking it. Ever since taking it, i notice strange changes within my body, especially my breathing. Luckily my problem is not as serious as yours because i dun breath that hard while sleeping

I would give the pills some time. Maybe you are just sleeping deeply and this changes your breathing. I would watch it though. Be glad that your husband is a light sleeper. It takes about two weeks to get regimented to a certain medication. I would see what happens with both of the pain and sleeping pills.

Hello jj, i will advise NOT to take sleeping pills, it is certainly habit forming, soon you will need higher dose too, yes if too stressed you may take, a shower, loose comfortable dress helps in sleeping, mattress are also important.. long back doctor advised me to take alprazolam .25 mg, gradually it was .50 mg.. without this i could not sleep, but after doing breating exercises i could get rid of this.. Thank you so much for sharing. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead. God bless you. Welcome always.

Painkillers and sleeping pills? I will not mix the both of them. It's either one for me because it's senseless to eat them both at the same time. WHen i'm feeling pain, painkillers will be good enough for me, once the pain subsides, i will be able to sleep. I prefer painkillers over sleeping pills because sleeping pills can be addictive.
