sort of like this


GO DO SLEEP STUDIES with a doctor - if you sleep that badly... They can tell you if you have a sleep disorder and help you fix it (maybe)...

Yup - and take vacations and breaks from the damn pager...

Wefigure I average about 21 hours a week of sleep. I am an extreme light sleeper. I hated having surgery... Too much light, too loud, to many distractions.... Finally told the doc to send my ass home.

Have a good night Kevin.

Melatonin has never worked for me. I was taking up 150mg and still wide awake. Now I just sleep when I can.

sometimes you need to change the dosing of the melatonin - some people need to go up to 5 mgs. while others need to go down to less than 1 mg or even .25 mgs...

you body naturally produces it... and sometimes you have to adjust adjust adjust til you find your sweet spot...

Later Kevin !

Patti - I know a bunch of my female friends use the skull cap or bandanna on their hair under everything - ya know the skull caps (not sure its other name) often worn to smooth down unruly hair - several of my black girl friends wear them to bed every night and under their mask.
