Nyquil to the rescue!
With my job, I had been averaging 2-4 hours of sleep each day this week. I was becoming a bit depressed. Now, I have a wee bit of a cold, too.
Taking a dose of Nyquil has helped me to catch up on sleep, and I’m feeling much more with the program today!
ugogrl count down....8 days
ugh
2-4 hours….this is extremely unhealthy
I hope you change your hours so that you can get more sleep
Nyquil shouldn’t have to become your M.O.
SimplyStacey They say to be careful what you wish for, but they don't scare me.
Aww, poor Kitty!
What Flirt said…Nyquil does sound like a good idea…

Hey Mama!
: ( I’m sorry you’re not sleeping. What about 1 mg of Melatonin (especially only one if work is not allowing you too much sleep time). It is over the counter and cheap and I think it works wonders…. especially sublingual ones… they dissolve under the tongue and get right into the blood stream that way. I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling great. The one I have also has B3 vit in it- B3 vitamin deficiency can lead to insomnia. Feel better!!
Thanks Sky
I think I’ll give melatonin try. My Nurse Practitioner recommended melatonin, but it did not work for me at the time she recommended it. I take supplemental B vitamins, and will investigate this possibility, also. Yesterday, I slept fairly well during the day and worked last night. Today, I slept for only 4 hours. I have to work tonight, 7p-7a. Hopefully, I can catch up with my sleep tomorrow.
Can you take
Tylenol PM or Advil PM? If not, can you take benedryl? That helps. Hope you catch some zzzzs soon!
How I managed to sleep
Getting myself into strict a routine helped me to sleep after 4 years of 3 hrs max. per night.
I made the decision to have a bath at 10pm followed by a hot drink and go to bed with a meditation cd playing (or on my i pod).- I had light outs, no books, no tv and no laptop in the bedroom. On the nights it didnt happen I didnt worry I just started again the very next night then suddenly…it worked.
I hope you too find a way
Good sleep habits are important
Thanks for all your good suggestions, NannyDragon. I work 13 hour night shifts 3 times per week. Then I try to lead a normal life the other 4 days/nights. It is bad for the sleep but works okay for my family.
Keep up the good sleep habits. You will benefit now and in the future.
