Have any of you bros defeated chronic insomnia?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 16th, 2018 11:23 AM Author: Hairraiser Cream Roast Beef I have battled this shit all my life, and it’s only been getting worse now that I’m getting older (32). At this point I basically end up slamming several shots and a Xanax every night to get to sleep after tossing and turning for hours. Obviously that’s terrible for me and will probably kill me eventually, but the fear of a sleepless night keeps bringing me back to that degeneracy. Any recommendations bros? Therapy? Herbal sleep aids? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4107932&forum_id=2#37034440) |
Date: October 16th, 2018 11:27 AM Author: Umber marketing idea Read up on microdosing melatonin. The shit you buy at cvs is not effective. Everyone responds to it differently so you have to experiment with dose and timing to get it right For years I thought it was flame, but taking 600mcg extended release at 9pm has me crashing by midnight and I only take ambien 3-4 nights/week now instead of every night. I have only been on this routine for about 2 months though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4107932&forum_id=2#37034465) |

Date: October 16th, 2018 11:40 AM Author: Hairraiser Cream Roast Beef Thanks for this dude, I will check it out. I have some shitty melatonin that I copped at the drug store that I think is 10 mg per pill. I’ve heard that the doses that most stores sell are way too high. Sounds like lower doses are somehow more effective than higher doses? Any chance you could recommend a specific product for me to cop?

Date: October 16th, 2018 11:42 AM Author: Hairraiser Cream Roast Beef Exercise has helped me all my life, but lately it seems like a solid trip to the gym isn’t even correlated with a good night’s sleep for me. Very sad! My mind is most definitely not stimulated though, so a hobby I could do nights is definitely something I should explore.

Date: October 16th, 2018 11:46 AM Author: Hairraiser Cream Roast Beef Congratulations on getting it under control friend. My doctor actually prescribed trazadone at one point. It knocked me out, but made me groggy to the point of not functioning the next day. I still have the bottle, so maybe I’ll give it another shot and try taking it earlier in the evening. Are ZMA and Theanine OTC? I’ll look into that. I’ve heard of theanine but not ZMA. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4107932&forum_id=2#37034616) |

Date: October 16th, 2018 12:25 PM Author: Misunderstood Menage Traz is potent; i dont take more than a single 50mg pill. In the morning, i usually skip breakfast and have one cup of black coffee and a 16oz sugarfree "xience" energy drink. I drink iced green/lemon/ginger tea all day, no alcohol (occasionally have a glass of mac 12 on really bad days)
ZMA and theanine are great-- yes, OTC. I like the NOW Foods brand |

Until you have done all of those things consistently for 6+ months, you have no right to complain. |

Date: October 16th, 2018 1:24 PM Author: Hairraiser Cream Roast Beef Thanks friend, I sincerely appreciate this. I think cutting out coffee would be great for me.

Date: October 16th, 2018 1:26 PM Author: Sexy dashing locus Great post.
Waking up and going to bed at similar times throughout the week should be added.
Reading before bed and STAYING OFF YOUR PHONE/INTERNET is crucially important.
Also, only use your bed for sleeping. You want to train your brain to associate the bed with sleep. |

Date: October 7th, 2019 4:46 AM Author: racy national security agency Lots of things can help, just depends on the cause of the insomnia.
If you’re already downing Xanax and booze every night think about what the long term effects are on your liver/body. Would be more effective and less harmful to smoke a joint with a strong Indica - that’s the most effective thing for me at least.
Melatonin and tryptophan also are supposed to work pretty well but I’ve never tried in earnest.
Have you tried the whole no screens in the last hour before you go to bed? Try it, and try reading before bed. Get into a good bedtime ritual where you shut everything off, maybe meditate etc. Your rhythm is off so you need to get your body back on a healthy schedule. |

Date: October 7th, 2019 8:05 AM Author: sick fiercely-loyal trailer park What makes you think you have a problem? You might just be a delayed sleeper or you might just not need as many hours as others. Also, we evolved to sleep two times per 24 hour cycle, not one. It's the modern work lifestyle that forces us into unnatural sleep routines and expectations.
I used to think i had crippling insomnia but then I started working from home, and having the freedom to sleep pretty much when I want showed me it's okay to sleep 5 hours at night and a couple more in the early morning or midday, it's okay to stay up late and sleep in etc. I hardly take anything anymore for sleep either. |
