I was up late one night and happened to stop the show I was watching on my DVR just in time to catch an infomercial that was discussing a cure for insomnia. I know infomercials are always notorious for hyping things, but this particular one was selling a book that had common remedies for problems. This particular one mentioned just smelling some sort of coffee. I sure would like to know what type of coffee that is, because it would nice to be able to sleep when I should be.
I am lucky enough not to suffer from chronic pain like many of you. Yes I have pain, but it's obviously not nearly as bad as the majority of people on this list suffer from. My heart goes out to you and I am seriously hoping that my pain doesn't get any worse. Right now it's really bad during the winter, but after I get up and get used to being up, it diminishes significantly. As for me, when I really need to sleep I take Benadryl. It usually gives me about four hours straight and then I'm able to sneak a couple of hours here and there. I feel much better when I get about seven hours sleep, but that rarely happens any longer. Prior to injury I usually got about five hours, but I was very active and didn't seem to require the normal eight hours of sleep.
