In the same boat ipet, even when I'm going on no sleep, the minute I lay down in bed, I wake up.. Ughh. Except I was the opposite in that you drank to fall asleep, in highschool, I used to shmoke ganja to pass out; drinking always makes me more awake. Now day's the best things Iv'e tried so far is melatonin, but the #1 thing that puts me to sleep is flexiril, "muscle relaxers", which are fairly, "easliy prescribed". Go into a GP and complain about back pain, chronic middle-upper back pain, (which I have and think that most pp who don't get anough sleep would probably have the same sorts of pains, your body overcompensating for the lack of mental awareness, to hold your head up). (Your current tight @$$ doc probably wont prescribe them to you, but most other docs should). It is also used as, a sleep aid, so I would just tell a new GP the truth. On days when I excessivly excersize, sleeping is WAY easier. My best combo at the moment is physical exertion and a flexiril, which you don't build a tolerance for. Sorry to hear about the pancreus
Hope you get some sleep tonight! I broke my leg last summer, and collar bone BAD this summer, (Two bars in my body now, hahahar).. So I do know that surgeries will do a number on you, can't even imagine a surgery as invasive as pancreus surgery. No caffine after 6pm helps too!
PS I'm drinking a diet coke right now...
Yeah, it's 3:30a.m. and I'm up, as always, lol. I can at least blame tonight on school since I've been doing homework all night.
Drinking always makes me pass out eventually, though I can't do too much of it anymore. I'm a big beer geek too, so it sucks that I gotta be careful now. At least I have vaping as a hobby now though
Yeah, weed would make me tired sometimes, I don't wanna talk too much about that though, or else the rule police will come after us... lol. We could always PM about that sometime.
Anyway, melatonin is the one thing I haven't tried. I've heard it only works for certain types of people (there's some chemical in the brain that gets released in normal people at night, but some people are deficient in it, from what I've read at least). I do plan to give a try though. I really don't know why I haven't yet. I've heard of flexeril. Muscle relaxers are the one thing I've never had... I do have Vicodin, but I can't get it often because of my tight @$$ GP, as you so eloquently put it
I definitely need to look into getting a new one.
Exercising doesn't help me sleep. I know it's supposed to, but not for me. It does help me relax a little more at night, but I still don't get tired. The ONLY natural thing that makes me tired is reading, even if it's something I like. But that only works when I'm not stressed and right now I'm stressed about a thousand different things, so that's not even working.
I'm sorry to hear about the broken bones
What do you do that makes you break stuff so much, rock climbing? lol, are there mountains in MN? So how close are you to the Vermillion River headquarters? If I was anywhere near Guss, I'd be knocking on his door all day looking for freebies and vaping with him
My pancreas is okay now (for the most part). I didn't need surgery. When you get pancreatitis, your pancreas becomes inflamed, and the only way to bring down the inflammation is to not eat or drink anything, not even water, hence why I was only allowed ice chips. Basically, your pancreas does two things, produce insulin, and produce stomach acids. When you have pancreatitis, instead of the stomach acids being released to your stomach, they're released directed onto your pancreas, slowly digesting it. So yeah, it's pretty freaking painful!
Hmmm... I'm drinking diet mountain dew as we speak
It's weird though. I find that caffeine and nicotine help my sleeping pills kick in faster. I think it's because they make your blood pump faster and push the drugs through your system. That's my theory at least. Before I vaped, I'd take my sleeping pills, and they always kicked in hard after a cigarette.
Alright, so that was long. I should probably take some drugs and hit the sheets
No casket for you!!
