Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 There is no real solution. My nephew and I have tried it all. I have to admit it, but back in my flower child days, reds and yellows were perfect and put me right at the perfect spot but we all know you can't do that for long. If you're a natural born speed freak that's just your make up. I've been like this since birth and 3 hrs sleep is all I've even needed. If I'm lucky I might get 4 hrs.

The only thing that would put him to sleep is the drone of the TV, but that would just annoy me and keep me awake. I don't know what the solution is! -Craige On 10/10/05, Amy <sandpiperhiker wrote: > > > http://news./s/afp/20051010/od_afp/australiamedicinesleepchillioffbeat_\ 051010132326 > Hot news for insomniacs - eat chillies > > SYDNEY (AFP) - Eating chillis regularly could help people get a good > night's sleep and keep their hearts healthy. > > Researchers at the University of Tasmania spent the past 18 months > studying the potential health benefits of chillies on a group of 10 > volunteers, national radio reported Monday. > > Some in the group were given 15 grams of chilli each day, while others > did not have any, and Associate Professor at the School of Life > Sciences Dominic Geraghty said the results were promising. > > " Chilli consumption may improve your sleep and, of course, the quality > of your sleep very much also influences your cardiovascular health, " > he said. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 See, it makes sense for someone who is a speed freak to have trouble sleeping, but my husband is quite mellow and loves sleeping 8 or 9 hours, if he doesn't have to be up in the a.m. He just has trouble turning off his brain at night. He sleeps like the dead when on Ambien, but he gets addicted to the sleep that it gives him, which, although not a real addiction, is kind of an addiction in itself, I think. I have been seeing these commercials for Lunesta and am curious about it. -Craige On 10/10/05, purplepassion <thelilacflower wrote: > There is no real solution. My nephew and I have tried it all.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I will look into that. Do you know what kind of stores sell it? I also told him about kava, which I think I read about in this group the other day. -Craige On 10/10/05, Amy <sandpiperhiker wrote: > > > See, it makes sense for someone who is a speed freak to have trouble > > sleeping, but my husband is quite mellow and loves sleeping 8 or 9 > > hours, if he doesn't have to be up in the a.m. He just has trouble > > turning off his brain at night.
