Sleep Disorder Anyone? (page 4)

Yes in fact I get laughed at because I will drink a double esspresso followed by coffe and an energy drink just to wake up.

LOL, welcome to the club :p.

Ok, here is the potion I came up by myself since no one could help me either. It took a while experimenting but I think I've got the balance right so now every morning I would have all of this. Aloe Vera cup, Liquid Iron, Omega 3 fish oil couple of capsules, antioxidants 1, minerals 1, (gotta make sure it has Selenium in it), and mix of ginseng and ginko biloba plus 1 raw carrot. I don't know why but it works. I still have my coffee but I think now it is more of a custom than necessity.

But that is probably a diet problem, if I was taking right foods in right amounts that wouldn't be a problem. But ever since I'm on my own I had bad habit of eating sporadically, I have a problem that I never feel hungry, so for the last several years all I eat during a day are different seeds, almond, chestnut, etc, heck I'm turning into a bird, lol.

Another thing that helps even more are my MA sessions which teaches you how to breath properly and focus your brain on coordinated movements and balance.

You need to be examined by a doctor. A possibility is low blood sugar

or a serious sleep disorder.

This is dead on in my case--an underlying sleep disorder that can be exacerbated if I don't keep a serious watch on my blood sugar levels/ dietary intake. Low blood sugar IS the thing I deal with in response to the wrong foods. Look into 'reactive hypoglycemia' as well, Sparky, just in case. This is another one that, until recent years, some doctors didn't even believe was REAL...some ignorant old-school ones still don't. Educate yourself on all fronts before going in, and after. You're the best advocate you've got!!

I only wish I had that problem. I have chronic insomnia, which has kicked in full blast, now that I'm at mom's.

Everything about the extreme coffee...the 4-hours-after-waking overwhelming need for sleep, etc.... DEAD ON>>>>>>>>>

Edit: And the awake/ work best at night thing.....

Zagor, if you wouldn't mind giving more specifics on the dosages/ amounts of each of these, I would really appreciate it. This sounds right up my alley, from the types of things I've experienced....

I don't have insomnia as such but have a very bad habit of not going to sleep till I start falling off my legs. Many times I would kinda fall a sleep at the desk and woken up several times like that before going to bed. Crazy I know, I'm kind of trying to squeeze more time or do more but I know that once that starts happening productivity goes to zero, yet I keep doing it. Though, it may have something to do with the fact that bed is often cold and empty lol.

You put this well. Therefore I think this is why Six or my other friends feel I am just not aware of my bodies needs.

Truly Six, less stress helps, and getting regular sleep helps as far as my napping mid day, but in all honesty, that is somewhat why I tend to ignore the sleeping steady hour rules. Because It does not matter, I will still want more sleep and I still wake up hard and have the same symptoms. (vaccuum head and confusion) Regular diet and excercise help some, but same as anything once I am on schedule...I will sleep right thru it all. b I take the 7 to 10 hours sleep and want 7 more.I hate this.

Lets say I buy a new alarm. It is pretty effective for a wee bit. Then I don't hear it. Or say a new person is waking me up, that is effective for a bit, then I don't respond to them. It also helps if I am displaced. Sometimes I will go sleep on the hardwood foor so that when the alarm goes off I am that uncomfortable that I may respond. If there is a new face in my bed, or one that is not there often, it is easier to wake just the same as sleeping at a hotel knocks me off balance and I can wake. Things displaced help, but anything after a few times fails to wake me.

Sure not a problem.

It kind of goes like this
15 ml Aloe Vera
15 ml Liquid Iron
Antioxydants and Minerals are from USANA there are bound to be distributers somewhere around where you live but here is the website http://www.usana.com/dotCom/index.jsp
but if these are not available you can go to your health store and ask for a good mix of pharmaceutically graded (very important term) mixes of vitamins and minerals making sure it has Selinium in it too. You though have to be careful with it, body needs it desperately but if you overdo it, it can be toxic so better leave it to experts but recommended does is 100-200 micrograms per day.
Fish oil gotta be of the good quality meaning Mercury tested and having at least 180mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, I would take at least two capsules sometimes 3 or 4 if I'm aobut to have very intensive day, these are 1000mg capsules and if you look around you will even find odorless ones so there is no aftertaste
As for Ginko and ginseng I just take a mix of the two, they sell it here which are capsules of 500mg

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh hi Decki!

I go to bed around 9:15 pm and read until I get sleepy. Then I don't hear anything. I mean NOTHING. People talk about awful storms at night - didn't hear a thing.

Wake up early like around 5:30 - 6am. Have breakfast. Listen to the am news. Then sometimes when my daughter calls (I'll be laying on the bed or couch talking) I'll get real sleepy. I start talking nonsense and I can sort of "hear" myself and then she'll go....."Mom!!!! you're falling asleep!" Sometimes I start snoring....... She says I sound like I'm hooked up to morphine drip. LMAO!!

If it makes you feel any better, Sparkplug-- When I finally set my appt. to go to see the neurologist (already knew full well what I had: The DSPS), it took methreetries to get there!!! I slept through the first two times, LOL!! How ironic is that??

...But then, I s'pose, I'm not the first one they've seen sleep through a sleep disorders appt., and won't be the last....
