Since I have a motion sickness problem, I always have Dramamine in the house. Excellent for going to sleep if you're lying down.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I have always had issues not being able to get to sleep for hours after I get up during the night. I decided to try Andrew Lessman's Nighttime, and it works beautifully! I quickly fall back to sleep after getting up, and feel good in the morning, getting up earlier now that I am sleeping better. I highly recommend this product.
@mousiegirl

What's in it?

@Tinkrbl44 You can go to HSN and read the label.

@I am still oxox I am not a Prime member either. With Lessman's products at amazon, I usually receive them within three-four or so days, though originally amazon states longer.

Just another tip about sleep. My daughter has total insomnia and her psychiatrist told her if she could lower her body temp it would help her sleep. So, now she will take a cool shower or put an ice pack on her stomach. Some times it works and some times it does not.

I practice healthy sleep habits, I don't have any sleep issues but on the rare occasion when I just cannot fall asleep or back to sleep.....I take a Benedryl. Works like a charm.

@chrystaltree What is a healthy sleep habit? I am active all day, very tired when I go to bed, fall asleep, then have to get up later, go back to bed, and no sleep for hours. There is no control over a situation like that.

I had sleep problems and I saw a Sleep specialist. At the time I was only getting 5 hours of a sleep a night and I suspected that was the cause of my chronic headaches and other physical issues. This was about 15 years ago, the doctor I saw called it a "prescription" and it worked.

I removed the tv from our bedroom because having a tv in the room, meant that I'd watch it before bedtime and I'd put it on when I woke up in the middle of the night. I had to reserve the bedroom for sleep and avoid watching tv an hour before bedtime. The "blue light" from tv screens does affects the brain which can affect sleep and also watching upsetting or exciting or violent tv can prevent sleep for hours.

I was told to keep the room a little cool, not cold but cool. Being too hot can interfere with sleep but so can cold feet, so I started sleeping with sox on.

Keep regular sleep hours, 7 days a week. Get 7-8 hours (no less, no more) a night and get up and go to bed at the same time.

On the nights when I could not fall asleep, I was told to get up and do something soothing, like read a book or listen to music or knit or paint. Something relaxing but never stay in bed tossing and turning and trying to force sleep. Once I was drowsy, I could go back to bed to sleep.

I didn't try it but some people sleep better if they have some protein before bed. Not a big meal but some yogurt of a piece of cheese or turkey slices.

The 7-8 hours was the hardest for me, I'd always prided myself on not needing a lot of sleep. It took practice but I get 7 hours of quality sleep every night. It's automatic now.

There were some other things that didn't apply or work for me, I don't remember what but I followed my "prescription". Like most people, there is that occasional night, sometimes two that I can't fall asleep and I can't even get drowsy and that's when I discovered that Benedryl helps.

@chrystaltreethanks for posting this information....I am always on the lookout for trying to figure out how I can get quality sleep. Most nights I fall asleep ok but then I wake up to roll over say from ear pain or my arm I am sleeping on (side sleeper) is hurting and of course I need to use the bathroom!

I will add your tips to try for myself starting tonight....if you think of anything else please share again.

Also was the sleep specialist one of those doc's that you go see to have a sleep study done?? I haven't done one...yet...something I will be talking to my doc about in April if I am not sleeping better by then.

Why not just simply use Melatonin? That is basically the active ingredient and much cheaper and available at all pharmacies!
