Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Help! I should be asleep right now, but I'm not!!! And I wasn't last night either, or the night before. No protein before bed this time, I exercised during the day and am pooped, so why can't I get to sleep???!!!! Could it be a die off/ imbalance-ish symptom? Or am I just messed up in general?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Are you on any meds? I recently had to go back on high doses of prednisone and one of the annoying side effects is insomnia. I've been using a chamomile/peppermint tea before bed in order to help my body relax a little more. Yes, being online will definitely keep you up. Though if you're laying in bed, in the dark for 10-20 minutes I've heard that you should get up and do something for half an hour or so before trying to go back to bed. I hope you get to sleep soon! I think I should head that way myself though I fear I'll have the same problem . > > Help! I should be asleep right now, but I'm not!!! And I wasn't last > night either, or the night before.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey Alyssa, I have found that when I'm on the computer too late I can't get to sleep. I think the light from the screen stimulates your brain or something b/c I just lay there and my brain won't shut off!! Kelley > > Help! I should be asleep right now, but I'm not!!!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure chamomile tea isn't legal. Stick to green, black, or mint. Or make your own ginger tea!Whaaa....? Why? I had no idea!NVM Marilyn (as usual) answered my question =) Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC 1 year-ishSCD 2 weeks-ish (restarted)No meds!!!
