I have PTSD and always have trouble sleeping. I have to have the television & fan on so I don't hear the house settling noises or anyone walking past our house. If I don't have background noise, I can't sleep. The last two nights, though, have been the best sleep that I have gotten in ages. I was so exhausted and I still couldn't sleep until I took a pain pill. Both nights I had to and I slept light a baby. I hate that I get used to a certain level of pain and just consider it normal. I sometimes don't realize that I am hurting until the pain stops. Anyone else have that?

Those reasons vary greatly. Some drugs and OTC help, while environment can also aid, like a small fan or tv/radio. White noise using a sound generator can improve sleeping habits. Diets or the lack of a diet can affect the length of a sleep cycle. The body does an amazing amount of healing during deep sleep. Are you getting enough rest?

They are terrible forcing me to sit up and turn the fan on. When it's below 70, that's too cool for me - but if it is much warmer, the pa's are worse and more frequent. I use a plethora of otc drugs and root extracts in alternating sequence. My body seems to quickly figure each one out and render it useless so I have to switch around. >What do you guys do, just lie down and sleep like a baby??? >AZDAVE > >Time draweth wrinkles in a fair face, but addeth fresh colors to a fast >friend, which neither heat, nor cold, nor misery, nor place, nor destiny, can >alter or diminish John Lyly quotes >
