Try benidril. (check with your doctor or a pharmacist) I think you can take one for every 25lbs body weight.

Lord I'm full of useless info.

I tried the Tylonol PM's I also tried Nyquil. They worked but with the Nyquil I would wake up at 4:00 in the morning "wired" I decided to stop the Medicine and try smoking weed.

I ran across this Bud called "UDUB" I do not know what it is, But after smoking it, I fall asleep within 20-30 min and sleep all night. You might try this type of weed if you can find it.

I suffer from Insomnia and It sucks!
I have learened several behavioral changes that will help.

Firsts off cut out caffine/chocolate. You should stop ingesting caffine several hours before you want to retire.
Same with desserts and sugars, they should not be ingested right before bed.
Chocolate containes caffine!

Herbal Teas are a good. And there are some MMj ones out there.

The over the counter sleep meds have always left me Itchy with a restless nights sleep In my opinion They suck!

Prescription sleep aides. I found I am so sleepy I dont want to do anything.
Some of them I woke up to wierd situations. Dont forget the addiction factor!

Sativa Is not an Insomniacs friend!

Oh and some heady OG always helps

I look forward to other Insomniac opinions!
I hope some of the things that work for me help ! sweet dreams

Boy can I relate to everyone on this thread. I've found over the counter meds to be totally useless. MMJ is helpful, so long as I only smoke it around bedtime. I have to keep my tolerance low, or it doesn't work as a sleep aid. Many people say that edibles are helpful to sleep and stay asleep. I find the edibles to be hit and miss. Some are incredibly strong to where I'm tripping, and others don't do much at all. Bubble hash works well for me at night because I seem to be able to control my dose better with it, and it is very strong. I do take a sleep aid almost every night called Trazodone. It isn't a pleasant buzz I get off it, but it helps me sleep. I also have Xanax for really hard nights, but as you probably know it's about as addictive as heroin. Exercise/ hard work also makes me sleep much better at night, but lately I've been lazy and just using pills and MMJ. Stress also makes me stay up all night long, so I live a fairly low-stress lifestyle and it really helps. I have to know when to step back and relax, plus I don't get myself in f'ed up situtations, if I can help it. Good luck.

I can relate with the trazadone works well, but after a while your body will get
used to it in a short amount of time it wont have any effect. I was to the point where I would take 6
of them without any effect. Meds are horrible 3 years of Trazadone, Geodon,
Zyprexa, Citalopram, Clonazapam, Seroquel, Clonidine, ugghhh I can still taste the seroquel...
A good indica will often mellow me out and I wont need to smoke the next day
to fall asleep.. it stabilizes my sleep patterns.. Edibles are dicey at times.. Ive
woken up high after eating a doja bar.. bloodshot eyes.. with the worst case of Cottn Mouth.. I agree with you there..
but over all mmj gets the job done.. thank god california allows mmj patients the use
of cannabis to treat insomnia..
goodluck with the insomnia i feel ya man..

wishing all wter insomniacs a long & peaceful ....sleep!!!! OX

[SmokeDatSh*t]

if you cant sleep no matter what and even the weed doesn't work, take a pain killer. they should really be called pain/knock your a** out pills;)

Hardly useless. Benadryl-D! Benedryl saved me from fifteen years of insomnia just last month. It's an over the counter antihistamine available at any drug store. My neurologist has zero concerns about long term use (but then considering the drugs he has me eat daily for years now...)

I have quite an arsenal of sleep aids. One that seems universally overlooked is some audio software called BWGEN - short for BrainWave GENerator.

The BWGEN software equips your PC soundcard to produce "binaural beat frequencies" - stereo sound patterns timed so that the difference between the right channel and the left channel of your headphones produces yet a third frequency pattern in your listening brain. That third pattern gently nudges the brain via rhythm entrainment into the desired direction, such as sleep.

There are two sleep induction settings that come with BWGEN that work well. They'll have me nodding off inside of twenty minutes.

I have found BWGEN very helpful, if not sufficient, to get me good sleep.

You can get BWGEN HERE at:

I cannot take Benedry, it hangs me over to the point I just wish I would have stayed up all night.

Some great advice here.
If you are like me, with a very active, wandering mind, I would also recommend meditation.
Reading a very boring book can also help- one that you will focus enough on so that you don't get distracted, but not keep you so interested that you will stay awake

best of luck my friends.

[argueta1999]

i had a spinal cord injury that does not allow me to lay down, sit or walk with out being in extreme pain. Since my accident, i have not been able to sleep well due to discomfort. Even since then i always get my second wind at sun down. My injury just makes it harder to deal with. There is a whole bunch of useful information here, i personally took many pills when first trying to treat this that i would not like to take a single pill again.

Although seeing how they do help some of you guys, i am willing to try anything.

I would try to stand on my head and spit nickles out of my arse if you told me it would help me sleep. don't try it it does not work.

[qwerty5439]

i tried Ambien. then woke up and didn't know where the hell i was. scary.

[Venomiss1ONE]

I hate having tried so many damn things and they do the opposite or they make me itchy and shakey and jittery i frickeing hate it...yuck... I'm currently smoking and have taken 2 vic. 2 ativans 2 trazadones and 4 bowls i think that nap at d's did me in for the night i'll be up till bout 5 or 6 sux for me i got young ones that need a stable mommy and i sure wont be by the time these mother suckers kick in and i get comfy enough to fall asleep.... grrrrrrrr.... So i'm bracing myself for a long night AGAIN...But hell a few hours is better then 4 days sorry sweet stuff.....(CCHCRob41)

[puffinpapa]

go see a doctor and have them check you for sleeping apnia!!! i was in the same boat as you and tried everything you could think of. the doctor ran some test and determined that i have sleeping apnia. it being treated at night with this machine that pumps air into my nose. Its the best sleep i've had in years---wake up feeling rested like never before. it also solved snoring problem too--because if you open you mouth while asleep, it blow air burst into your nose,and you close your mouth naturally!!!

[lagunaWoods89]

God I hate not sleeping....It takes so much for me to go to sleep. really the only thing that works for me is edibles and oils

[matkins1234]

Haha, wow, this is a thread that I can relate to. First time i've gone dry since I got my med card, and what a shock, it's almost five am and i'm wide awake. By the time i'm actually tired it'll be the middle of the day. It's cool though, I can handle it, i've gone several days without sleep in the past. At least i'm not terminally ill.

Change your routine. Take a walk in the wilderness. Get away from TV, cell phones, and the computer and you'll fall asleep. If you ever wondered why so many people have insomnia nowadays is because they think they have insomnia, but it's because they're up watching TV and they see these commercials telling you at 3a.m. you have insomnia. Drop the media intake and read a classic novel. You probably do not have incurable insomnia... I suggest slowing down the senses and take a breath. I feel for you trying to get the gig. We've all been there. No one will get hired with the stoner bags in the eyes.
