|  Help!!! I can't go to sleep. LOL
I can't go to sleep. I have to get up in 4 hours to go to work in the morning but I can not even close my eyes. I even got up really early today and did not nap at all. I know it is the antisipation of returning to work after such a long holiday. And also I have a pretty high stressed job. I have also always been one of those people who can't leave work at work. So I am up typing away to my extended family hoping to atleast get a good yawn or too. LOL Just wondering for future reference does anyone else have this problem and if so what do you do? Guess I better go back to bed and at least rest my eyes.

I have that problem if I have something coming up for the next day. Guess it is just nerves. I hope that you did get some sleep or it will make for a long day at work. Have a good one. (((hugs))) dixie

I had the same problem last night. I ended up having to work about 5 hours yesterday getting ready for a trial we have coming up this week. I was exhausted, but couldn't go to sleep last night. I ended up making myself go to bed at 12:20 this morning. Needless to say, I definitely didn't want to get up this morning! I am so sleepy.

Benedryl. It saves me when I can't sleep. I used to drink a mug of heated red wine, but that's out for a while!

Well I ended up getting about 2 hours of sleep. But as soon as I got to work it was a mad house and I quickly got over being sleepy. As soon as I walked in the door I had to try to get a charter flight from Mexico to our facility in order to keep from shutting down a Honda facility. Which in turns means I had to get the parts cleared through Mexico and US customs just a bunch of chaos. The reason being that the LTL carrier that company has chosen to us by ground lost our parts. But after I called and pissed of a bunch of corperate people and had spend countless hours working on this issue my parts were found in Birmingham Ala. so then I had to call and cancel everything associated with the flight. Which by the way the flight was going to cost my company around $16,000 dollars for some parts that were only worth about $2,000. Not to mention the countless other hiccups today. Needless to say I am pooped now. I am sure I will be able to go to sleep tonight. Oh, thanks for letting me vent about my job. I love you guys.

I take benedryl. but DON'T take it if you wake up during the night...it is something you have to take when you are getting ready for bed.
My doc gave me another sleepybye med, Dalmane, but I only take that a couple times a week. That one works almost too good. Fantastic dreams. But if the kids try to wake me up, it doesn't happen.

Judijo,
How long does it take to wear off? The reason I ask is that if its a weekly work night I rarely get more than 5 1/2 to 6 hours per night. I caught up on the weekends though about 8 or 9 if I am really lazy. I have seen advertised that most precription sleep aids want you to at least get 8. If the one you takes wears off quick I may ask my doc. to help me out.
