Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 << We spoke early and she said sometimes she sleeps three or four hours a night, sometimes only one. She is exhausted and reaching out for help. Can any of us help her, I wonder? >> I take 3mg. of melatonin around 8:30 every evening that I am at home, and by 11 or 11:30 PM I am quite relaxed, drowsy, and sleep deeply. It is good to take it some hours before going to bed, as taking it at bedtime can make you somewhat groggy the next morning. dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 >She a vegetarian, eats very well, has, literally, no bad habits, takes no drugs [i know, I know]; leads a clean, decent life but can't go to sleep like we can. What can I suggest to her, if you know? Many thanks, Obie. Whatta ya mean clean decent life? She's up all night, isn't she? Seriously, have her look into melatonin supplementing before bedtime. An inexpensive source is beyond-a-century.com . They have a sublingual form. Chuck The early bird still has to eat worms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 (I just posted this on another list-hopefully she can find relief) Some suggestions we use: 1.Fresh fruit juices b4 bed. 2.Turkey b4 bed 3.B-vitas 4.Melatonin 5.Neck & shoulder massage-very firm 6.Magnetic N-pole mattress 7.Lemon oil water b4 bed 8.temples rubbed lightly & rythmatically in circular motion (usually by partner) 9.Think chain-think of a favorite thing & sequence it in your mind as you relax. Repeat every night. 10. Sound machine-water sounds 11. ear plugs 12. Neck roll ( or towel or 2 tennis balls in a sock) while laying flat for 15 min.-body reaches still-point. Do every night b4 bed & anytime during day. 13. Pretzel (our name for it) or Cook's Hook-ups from Brain Gym: for bed: lay & cross the ankles, then stretch arms out & place hands back to back, palms outward. While in this position, cross wrists & clasp hands. Usually it is most comfortable to then make a pretzel w/ the arms & elbows. You can even sleep like this. This connects all the energy currents in the body & recharches the whole system. Good to do anytime for stress & energy. · ´¨)) -:¦:- ~Jolene~ . .·´¨¨)) -:- Born2BHealed@...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Melatonin...3-6mg at bedtime along with Kava Kava [2 350 mg capsules] and 250-500 mg chelated magnesium. That helps me. Excersize during the daytime--walking and swimming helps me sleep better at night. When I skip excersize, I find it harder to fall/stay asleeep. I take a nice hot bath and I have a chi machine and use that sometimes prior to bedtime and hubby often gives me a nice footrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi all, I read a " blurb " very recently that kava kava is being linked to liver damage- not sure where I read it, maybe http://rense.com (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 PNT200 from Immunotec. It is a milk decapeptide that attaches to the benzodiazepine receptors exactly. No addiction, confusion, or motor skill loss even with long-term use. It is destined to replace all valium prescriptions and most SSRI prescriptions. Order it for my cost below. >She a vegetarian, eats very well, has, literally, no bad habits, takes no drugs [i know, I know]; leads a clean, decent life but can't go to sleep like we can.
