What do people do to get sleep

I have tried everything, sleeping pills only put me to sleep for a couple of hours, my own thoughts keep me awake, anyone else go through this, was just wondering

Steven,

 Get Somnapure from GNC HEALTH store, it's a natural sleep aid. It works great

for me and I had a TBI 22 years ago.

Always,

Stephen Korczak

Da !   I  should  have  read  Phil's  message  first....he  is  right  on !    I  nap  when  I  get  over  stimulated  in  the  day  and   can't  function  well,   then  I  know  it  is  time  to   "chill  a  bit "....

Steven,  the   Dr.  has  me  on Zolpidem 10 MG  (Ambien )   I  fall  right  to  sleep   but   wake  up  once,   about 1:30  am,    mainly  because  my  dog (Gracie )  and  I   have  things  to   do....  and   I  go   right  back  to  sleep..  I  have  to   nap  most  days,  so  listen  to  your  body.

The reason I ask about your work....about 8-10 years ago I had my own Computer Support Company in North Carolina.....During the years I had the company, I did not sleep much at all....My minds was always "processing Thoughts" - I mean, it drove me nuts....I did take some sort of PM sleep aids for a very long time....When I should have seen a Doctor.....Sleep aids are okay, on a periodic level...then the brain should adjust its sleep/wake cycle on its own.....

Well, actually my Fiance (non-TBI) has sleep problems due to her mind always thinking alot when she tries going to sleep......her doctor has her taking Zolpidem 5 MG...take 45 minutes before going to bed......cut down on coffee, of course), but also cut down on television at night before bed....in other words cutting down on excess brain-stimulation.....and geting her brain's sleep-wake cycle to adjust to less brain activity at night.  She sleeps much better now......Zolpidem is "Ambien"...I think, it contains much less tired after effects of normal sleep aids.  Now she is very serious about her habits such as over-watching TV when it gets close to trying to go to sleep.....This seems to work for her....maybe talk with your doctor about this.......Myself, I don't have any problems with going to sleep.....just sometimes when I paint and get excited of what I'm painting....my mind seems to think about what I'm gonna do the next day with my painting....and I stay awake longer......cause my brain is still "processing thoughts" about what I'm gonna do the next day!  I only take 1/2 of Ibuprophin PM, which I buy OTC.....I take it periodically....But, then again I am also Disabled and I stay home everyday....Do you work?  is your work stressful?  I mean, many things do affect our "sleep patterns".....Our brains are so full of "thoughts" from the days events......all these "brain Neurons" just floating through our brain.....Anyway, good luck with your sleep problems.....

Hey Steven, yea, waking up almost seems like some kind of Movie.....waking up in the same place.....same room, same bed....different brain!  Ha!!!It definitely is a journey!  Right man!  I mean, being "happy" is everything...in that Happiness is the key to life....anyway, thanks for your reply and I wish happiness to you, and everyone else of course!!!  : )
