You're all out having fun, I know it. Sorry for the profanity in the previous post, I was pissed at my body (for not falling asleep) and the sucky schedule! Hey AB, sounds like you are already at work but I was up. I made myself sleep in as long as I could. First Saturday in a long time without getting up at 4 am to workout. I slept in all the way to-------5:15am! Big freakin deal. Sorry your weekend is off to a rough start. Hope it gets better by the time you read this. |

Master 1462 Michigan | Subject: RE: Insomnia Sucks. Yes there are many ways that help to induce the sleeping process. But I hear ya Bear. For the last seven years I have worked 24 hr shifts at the firehouse. Sleep comes at a premium. After getting up 3-5 times a night, it is impossible to stay up when I get off work at 7 AM. Ambien had become a friend. I only take it twice a week. |

Ambien had become a friend. I only take it twice a week. I understand your plight as well! The problem is that I've been exhausted every day since last Monday. I can only sleep about 5 hours when I work overnights, so I came into the day shifts tired, and for the past 2 nights have NOT been able to fall asleep in spite of benig so tired. The first night I ended up taking a benadryl which helped. The second night, since I had to be awake at 5:30AM, I was afraid I wouldn't wake up if I took a benadryl...so I made a martini instead. It didn't work.  |

| Elite 3650 Laurium, MI | Subject: RE: Insomnia Sucks. Try Vikoden. I 'hear' it will put you out like a light. I used to work overnights. 10pm to 7am. Then I started back to school with a regular 9 to 5 schedule. Talk about screwing you up for months. |

Then I started back to school with a regular 9 to 5 schedule. Talk about screwing you up for months. When I am having really legitimate back pain, I will do that, I'll take 1/2 of a percocet. I usually get an amazing night's sleep and wake up pain free. I think sleep is a big component of pani management! My post op RX of percs has lasted me over 2 years now. I only take it about once every 2 months or so. |

Champion 5615 | Subject: RE: Insomnia Sucks. 4:30am and my biggest problem is that my body has not realized that I'm no longer on Singapore time. I purposely only tried to sleep a little bit on the plane home today, but even after trying to fall asleep at a reasonable hour, I just kept staring at the ceiling fan. Finally decided to call off the attempt and finish the laundry that I brought back. Nothing is as comforting as the smell of fresh-from-the-dryer laundry, but its still not putting me to sleep. |

Master 1670 Harvard, Illinois | Subject: RE: Insomnia Sucks. I have taken a sublingual called GABA Calm. I get it at Vitacost. My understanding is that GABA is a naturally produced amino acid in the brain that stimulates relaxation. I take a GABA Calm and I'm good to go for the night. |

Percocet (oxycodone) is on the USADA banned-substances list as a performance-enhancing drug.
