I'm like you. I require more sleep now. Its very difficult for me to fall asleep but when I do, I'm out. For a long time I wasn't able to sleep at all then started taking Ambien which gave me a few hours then I woke up for a couple then back to sleep for a while. I've seen that infomercial and its bogus if its the one i'm thinking about. A news program went after him to question him and he completely avoided talking.

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.

Sleep occurs early during the beginning of life and remains a very important element as we grow and mature. During natural sleep, our bodies grow and natural chemicals are both produced and released into our bodies, during the process of natural sleep. The lack of natural sleep also can produce unnatural effects on our bodies and minds. For those still interested, check out GOOGLE for nature sleep.

I can see you're so uncomfortable as a result of your injury that was not your fault of the hospital's. I wish your chair with comfortable for you. You have trouble sleeping just like I do. It seems like a lot of us do I guess it is the quad thing, just like getting really cold when we get in bed. I hope the new sleeping medication my sleep doctor was talking about that is not on the market yet will be more of a benefit for us, I don't know anything about it. I'm going to ask more about it the next time I go. they want me to buy a light to turn on to get my rhythm normalized. Have you ever heard of and do you think it works? They are about $100 I think she just gave me some more information as I lost another, they really want me to buy one. I don't want to spend the money if it does not work. They think I'm affected by not having some light causing me not to sleep. Dana . Dana It's Tax Time!
