I can tell you there are and there aren't good medications to be on - regardless of the medications, what is most important is that you get a healthy night's sleep!

Are you dragging the next day or are you still full of energy? If I really need sleep I usually take a simply sleep from tylenol - I've never gotten addicted but know you can. Hope the doctor will help and good luck with getting pregnant - I'm pulling for you.

If I may ...Christy, I pray that you overcome this. If I may suggest, have you tried talking your body to sleep? It's never failed me. Starting with your toes and, slowly working up, repeat calming words in your mind. Something like: I am relaxed, soothed, at ease. I am relaxed. Relax. Repeat over and over. Working up, slowly. I've used this method for years, but I've never made it past my hips. I always fall asleep before I get any further. No pills, no chemicals.<br><br>Good luck, and sleep well.<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598304007120326581.post-1984401754125394272006-11-23T09:03:00.000-08:002006-11-23T09:03:00.000-08:00I've had a few bouts of this, but thankfully t...I've had a few bouts of this, but thankfully they always seemed to end as mysteriously as they began. When my mind whirs and wonders and I can't shut it down I try to make it focus on a prayer. Seems I start to pray and I often just slip on off to sleep. LOL Sounds funny. But I see it as God saying to me like I say to Bug "hush,now.....it's late. Tell me tomorrow." - Barbara<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
