AS if it is not enough to be chronically depressed, now sleep is a thing of the past. I get about 90 minutes a night total, 30 to 45 minutes at the start, around 10:30 and another 45 minutes to an hour just before dawn. Then, it is another day and the cycle repeats. This has been going on for about five weeks. The days are not so bad as I am busy with work but night just drags like a slow bus ride. Anybody have suggestions on how to get back to sleep at night? I don't like the antihistamine based OTC sleep meds as their half life is about 12 hours and I am too fogy the next day. I took Ambien for a couple of years and that stopped being effective some months ago. My MD won't prescribe barbituits (spelling?) not sure why. His reluctance takes on an ominous silence what I talk to him.
all suggestions appreciated.
