About 150 or so pounds ago, one of the many afflictions I was saddled with was Obstructive Sleep Apnia." I had to use this machine that constantly blew a stream of air up my nose so I wouldn't stop breathing. It was a major problem, and I had to go through this huge rigumarole every night before I could go to sleep.
After losing the weight, I no longer need to use the C-PAP, and I sleep a lot better. There are still a few instances when I have a hard time getting to sleep, however. Usualy, if I avoid eating right before bed time I'm okay. In fact, I try to stop eating at around 7:00 pm.

my sleeping has gotten better, I'm not waking up every few hours now like I was, my problem now if falling asleep to begin with. I'm usually falling asleep around 3am. I know if I could get up earlier and stay up I would be tired earlier but I have a real hard time staying awake when I get up early, I usually end up napping around 2pm...
So, I'm sleeping better but waking up later and falling asleep later.....

Simply Sleep
It is Tylenol PM with out the Tylenol. No liver damage. It is great. I knockes me out within 30 minutes and you will get a get a solid night.
Warning You really need to allow for at least 6-7 hrs. You will wake up groggy. It is habit forming!!!! I try not to take it unless I know I won't sleep otherwise.
It is wonderful, though.

Tylenol is great! It did knock me out, too!
Also, drink plenty of beers, a couple of glasses of red wine, or a couple of glasses of mixed liquours and a few shots of whiskey of your own fauvorite!

Any drug stores are good, but don't buy any cheap medicines at Target because they're no good and worthless.

I think the simply sleep stuff works better than the reg. pm stuff. I got mine at Wal Mart, I think. They sell it everywhere.

This too is a nice way to get to sleep, but not so nice to wake up from

I don't usually have a problem sleeping...it's all the other things that wake me up that kill it for me. Kids, arguments, dog...it's always something.

I sleep great if I get some exhausting exercise at some point in the day. The humming of a fan or AC really helps too.

I have to have the fan on...I'm a warm body. Need some type of cool air blowing around the room. I can't sleep when it is hot in the room...

yup, same here about the sound, I turn the TV way down so I can just barely understand whats being said then I set the sleep timer and I fall asleep to the soothing sound of the TV. The trick is I have to find something to listen to that doesnt drive me nuts like an infomercial or something that makes me think, like the news channel.....Family Guy usually works pretty good.
