Anybody take sleep aids?

I sometimes use a little “herbal essence” of buttah.

Nope, don't like them ( I did take them for a very short time in my life 20 years ago ). Sorry to hear about your brother.

Try a magnesium citrate supplement, at least 200 mg a day. It helps you get to sleep and stay asleep. I started taking it originally to see if it would help my blood sugar. Did nothing for that but I noticed within a week of starting it that I was sleeping so much better. Also if you are a coffee or any caffeinated beverage drinker, cut those out early in the day.

I've been an insomniac for most all of my adult years. Got so bad that here a couple weeks ago, I couldn't sleep at all for 3 days. Yes, I have high blood pressure - one of my doctors told me "You gonna dwop dead". He offered no help so I dwopped him instead. I do prefer home grown doctors, but you get others along the way. BTW, that doctor dwopped dead himself.

Doctors tell me that some people just don't need as much sleep as others. I guess....

I do find that a couple of beers before sleep helps a lot, but then you wake up early gotta pee

Whatever.... I just deal with it.

Trying to help here....
I use a 3mg Melatonin tablet,
and a cool room - set your air conditioner on low,
darkened room, quiet time before hopping into bed.
The supplement will take effect in hr or less - you aren't
terribly rushed to get to bed.
My wife tho, she just reads before going to bed, gets sleepy that way - a good idea too.

I saw for from depression anxiety and insomnia what pills that you’re taking that knocks you out that’s what I’m looking for. Lol

Ambien is the sleep aid that I take when and only when I need it. The last time I took a half of one and it helped. But, I haven't had one since.

To those that suggest alcohol let me tell you that I cannot drink! Back in my Navy days I drank because everyone else did. My problem (or blessing) was that I could get just as drunk on one beer as others who drank hard liquor. I never could make myself like beer though so I just quit. And, I also smoked some pot back in the 70s Nut quit cold turkey when I found myself liking it too much, not to mention it was illegal at the time. I take a low dose of the anti-depressant and blood pressure medications. I think that they are helping me cope and hopefully I won't need them much longer.
I appreciate all the replies and the well wishes. It's good to have friends even if you have never met them!

I’m gonna let y’all in on something that happened to me not too long ago. I suffer from anxiety and insomnia. I’m on 4 sleep aids one being Ambien. When I woke up I noticed something that was in the refrigerator on my nightstand. Then I opened the refrigerator to get me something to drink in my hat was in the refrigerator I started thinking what the hell is going on here. Last but not least The four windows in my truck won’t roll down and the Hood was popped open. It was freaky it was something that I did and didn’t even know. The clincher here is I sleep naked. LOL

I drove my car while asleep on ambien and went out to the store, woke up in the chicken house another time and woke up in the yard with a loaded shotgun. dumped potted plants into my bed , ate a bag of peanuts and drank 6 beers. ALL WHILE ASLEEP! on Ambien . If a person does not have someone to watch over them stay away from that stuff or you may end up in jail or dead.
