Insomnia Sucks

Published under Off Topic

For the last week I’ve been only able to sleep about 1 hour per night. Needless to say, this makes functioning during the day a little difficult, and thinking even more so. I’m feeling a lot better today after a fairly good nights sleep, so I’ll try to write an on topic post. In the meantime, I have lots of posts around the blogosphere to catch up with.

      Try melatonin. Works great for me… Start at a low dose (e.g. 1 mg) and increase until you find one that is effective but doesn’t leave you groggy in the morning (3 mg is fairly typical). Don’t drink coffee after noon… make sure it’s dark where you’re sleeping… good luck!

      Just did a 6 mile run. Also do a regular workout similar to yoga. Almost never have trouble sleeping.

      Diet also can contribute.

      Then there are psychological issues. Been stressed lately?

      Yes, exercise works. Long walks, preferably someplace hilly, are best, followed by hot bath. But any long walk of several hours will do. Good luck. Its very unpleasant. Don’t worry about your readers, they’ll be appreciative enough to be patient.

      Thanks, but the story continues… in a couple of comments. I got a reply from Penner…

      How’s the insomnia? If it persists, a biological fix that lets your own melatonin production operate normally — avoid blue light after about 8pm; use a yellow theater gel over your computer screen; details in the comments:
