What Do You Do When You Can't Sleep? - Page 4

When I notice a problem with my sleep pattern then I increase my physical activity during the day, usually by doing more exercise and walking more frequently. This works for me.

I try not to nap during the day. I end up watching a rerun of something hoping I will nod of from boredom. I can't do anything around the house because I don't want to wake hubby up. It is wearing thin night after night.

Have you considered having a glass or more of wine or hard liquor before going to bed? It helps many to fall asleep.

Good luck.

Have you considered taking a couple of tabs of oxycodone acetaminophen 5-325 before bed to help you relieve your sleep anxiety?

Good luck.

@EatWell I tried hot chocolate and a little Amaretto but it didn't help. I don't drink hard liquor. Before my new hip in September last year I took the 325/5 Percoset for pain. while I need a new knee I do not have enough pain to warrant taking them again. I wouldn't take them for any other reason. My Dr. would never prescribe them except for severe pain.

I don't recommend calling 911 and telling them.

I'll dim my Kindle and read or go on these boards until I get sleepy. Sometimes I'm hungry and will drink a glass of milk to curb my appetite.

I usually pick up my Kindle or pray a rosary both put me to sleep again.

If I can't fall asleep, I don't fight it and I will turn the TV back on. I will finally fall asleep and sleep about 7 hours. I hate when that happens but it is my fault as I drink caffeine too late and it keeps me awake.
