How do you deal with insomnia?

Recommended Posts

I should have been asleep hours ago considering the fact that I didnt go to sleep until 5AM. This is the 5th night in a row that I get to deal with insomnia. I want to sleep but can't.

I keep thinking about the movie "Fight Club"....damn I hope that I don't turn out like that. It would be one hell of a ride though.

Most of my insomnia issues are due to pending divorce. It sucks because right now I am lying in the bed where my wife and I used to sleep. That doesn't help at all. Maybe I should go try to sleep on the couch.

Maybe i can finally get my post numbers up. I lurk a lot. Mostly because I can't keep up with the mess that is the forums, but it is fun to read all the stuff that people put up here.

Warm diet coke does it to me everytime. Just heat it up in the microwave and I'm out.

would a cup of warm chamomile tea be a better suggestion or am I out of line suggesting it at all... :ph34r::D

perhaps with a bit of honey and a touch of milk added to it... :)

Ya know, when I was in the hospital after my last surgery my night nurse told me the same thing, except it was not to assist in sleeping but rather relieving constipation.

It worked, I pooped but the caffeine kept me up.

Try Nyquil...

Ok, which one is it? Sleep aid or colon cleanser? or both?

I would hate to try it and then wake up in the morning with a bed full of my own feces.

Sing with me:

"Vodka my old friend,
I hope you're with me til the end.
Every day and night, you fill me with delight.
You cure insomnia, like a fist to the jaw..."
