Help Me To Sleep

There are a few jet lag remedies that can effectively deal with jet lag. This problem does not affect everyone in the same way so you should try a few and discover the best remedy for you. Jet lag affects those that travel frequently or the occasional flyer that goes on vacation.

Some of the symptoms include indigestion, disorientation, irritability and insomnia. How many time zones you travel will affect how long the jet lag lasts. A rule of thumb is that the number of time zones you travel is the number of days it will take you to completely recover. Though most individuals state that their tiredness is worse when they travel east versus traveling westward.

Melatonin controls the body’s internal clock and is naturally secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. Melatonin production is linked to light, so at nighttime melatonin production increases. Flying disrupts the body’s melatonin cycle. Taking melatonin supplements can adjust your body to the new cycle quickly. It is suggested that individuals take 0.5mg of melatonin, one hour before bedtime for the first 3 nights once you have reached your destination.

Prior to traveling you can adjust your bedtime and alarm to the traveling place. For example if you are going from New York to San Francisco, a few days before flying you go to bed an hour later and wake up an hour later, the next day you go to bed another hour later and wake up an hour later, and on the next day you push everything back another hour and stay at this bedtime and alarm for another day or two. This is the time you will be sleeping and waking on the west coast.

You can use homeopathy so that natural remedies are presented at nontoxic levels. No Jet Lag is a popular product that contains, Leopard’s ban, daisy, Wild chamomile, Ipecac, and club moss. These natural substances help your body adjust and deal with jet lag symptoms without causing harm.

We think a dose of Desoxyn from the pychiatrist would help with the withdrawl. If there are any pychiatrists out there llet me know if this is ok. Desoxyn is usually used for narcolepsy.

So my Powerbook is still under warranty with Apple and for some time now its been going through a terrible phase called “Powerbook Narcolepsy”. Can I send it in for them to either fix it or get a new one?

(sorry for the grammer and spelling)
So far i found out that tissues at the back of your throat are collapsing and that’s normal but the thing that prevents it from collapsing is the problem.

Well, my cousin’s son (infant) is having a problem breathing and some doctors said that there is something wrong with the brain (the neurons go to something, i don’t know; i’m sorry). The probable diagnosis was central end-peripheral sleep apnea or obstructive sleep apnea.

Hi, I’m 13 years old.
turning 14 in a couple of months.

And I have RLS, I had RLS for basically all of my life, you don’t know what RLS is, it’s restless leg syndrome.

I always, kick when I sleep.
I take extra strength pills that my doctor subsribed, and it doesn’t work.

Sometimes I wake up with bruises.
And in the worst cases , *I can’t go to school, because of my sore legs. (* is that a bad thing? haha joking.)

But it’s really starting to bug me.
I **** it.

Anything that I should do?
Like to get more restfull sleep?
I do have cold hands, alot.
My hair lacks in shine, seriously.

And for the person who says they don’t think I have RLS, I do, My doctor told me so. Why else would I be taking medication?

I take centrum pills, are those good?

Throughout our lifetime it is surely inevitable that we will each battle with insomnia at one time or another. Insomnia – the ability to fall asleep or stay asleep – can have disastrous ramifications; ongoing sleep deprivation can interfere with daily life making us unable to concentrate and even instigating far greater health concerns such as depression.

For those who suffer nightly, curing insomnia can mean the difference between days spent in an exhausted fog and a productive, healthy life. Subsequently, there are more and more products hitting retail shelves that claim to hold the secret for curing insomnia. And while there are many fantastic prescription and over-the-counter medications that will help you sleep in the short term, there are alternatives that are worth trying beforehand.

Curing insomnia may begin with simply making some changes in your bedtime routine. It may be of benefit to build new habits surrounding sleep. Try going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day to encourage your body to adopt this schedule. Make your bedroom a haven for sleep; don’t watch television or read in bed. Instead, come to bed when you are ready for sleep. Make your bedroom dark and comfortable and use music or white noise to help soothe yourself to sleep.

In the spirit of curing insomnia, you may even begin to implement some pre-sleep rituals as well. Eliminate exercise, alcohol, and heavy foods prior to bed; try stretching, deep breathing, or simple yoga poses; meditate for a period of time before bed; or sip some caffeine-free tea. If you find that you’re unable to fall asleep, then leave your bed until you feel sleepy enough to try again. Do not make your bed a place you associate with tossing and turning.

For ongoing sleep issues, it’s important to work towards curing insomnia even during your waking hours. Limit alcohol and caffeine during the day – both of which can work to interrupt sleep during the night.

Curing insomnia may take some trial and error. If you find that even after some lifestyle adjustments that you are continuing to struggle with sleep, then it’s best to see your doctor.
