2007-07-20 21:09:53 · update #1
Join the club. I have it and I've had it for years. My sleep meds dr. had me one don't work, so until I can get more I am wide a wake and bored to death. I hate it when I am sleeping good and two hours after I went to sleep I have to get up to use the rest room. Once my feet hit the floor my mind goes hello good morning now what do you want to do today? Man I hate that don't you?'

Yes, I do. It got worse as I got older, and the worst part of menopause for me was the insomnia.
Now it comes and goes. I sometimes take about 1/2 of an Excederin PM tablet about an hour before bedtime (the full dose is way too much for me). I also cut out (almost) all caffeine. I try to do the "go to bed at a regular time" thing, but sometimes I get going on the computer and don't.
I find wearing a sleep mask helps me a lot. (I can't get my bedroom completely dark.) And usually my hubby goes to bed later than I do, and I fall asleep better when he's not up. (Lucky him, he falls asleep within 10 minutes of lying down.)
Other tips I've read about are: don't eat late meals (I usually don't), and exercise during the day but not too late (I mostly don't). I know I need to add exercise to my regular routine.
Other things that have helped are: tightening and then relaxing the major muscle groups, starting with the feet and going up the body; and counting backward from 999. Sometimes these help, often not.
I know this was just a poll, and I'm sorry the answer was so long. The short answer is: YES.

I just looked at the clock and it's 3:00 in the morning; it's ridiculous. I'm not tired at all, though.

I do. I've tried chamomile tea, and the supplement from my friend and nothing worked. I need something strong.
