Can\'t Sleep.... (no politics)
Despite working 12 hour days and being tired constantly, I can't sleep. I get home from work in time to sleep easily. I can't. I don't understand. I can't even do it right now. I'm gonna fall on my keyboard, but if I get in the bed I'll just lie there for like two hours before I can go to sleep. It's like destroying my ability to function all day. Has anyone had experience with this?

If you are from the Lehigh Valley I know there is a Doctor in the 1230 bldg. over on Cedar Crest(right next to the Cancer Center) that can address this problem. I'm sorry I can't remember his name off the top of my head.

Re: Can\'t Sleep.... (no politics)
i'm a long imsoniac.
1. ambien is very good. (but addictive) 2. you need to wind down your brain with a stupid sitcom. 3. very important to get some bit of excercise once a day; get the tubes cleaned out. a brisk 15 minute walk will be fine. 4. great tip: if you don't fall asleep in 25 minutes, GET UP, change rooms and occupy yourself. Only when you really want to returnto the bed should you do so. then if 25 more minuts pass any you are awake then repeat the process. 5. also remember, real sleep is best, but quietly liing down counts towards regeneration too.

[/ QUOTE ] solid advice.... I'd also add try laying on your back and inhale and exhale slowly and deeply. Tense up your body really tight and then completely relax. Do that twice more and keep breathing slow.
