Sleep inducing drugs suggestions

[Formidable]

"meditation and more exercise" he or she is asking for a drug to induce sleep. if you can get it prescribed you can't go wrong with restoril or halcion good luck as a fellow insomniac i feel for ya.

halcion? you WILL fall asleep, but you cannot stay asleep for more than 3 hours.

Halcions reputation rests largely on its rarity, I've found plain ol zolpidem to be just as effective personally...

Sounds like delayed sleep phase disorders, which imo is a form of insomnia.

You, sir, are a genius. After you mentioned Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder, I went to look it up at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

I have lived with this since I was a child and never realized it had been officially codified as a legitimate sleep disorder. Every single line on this page resonates with me ...it's, personally, both staggering and monumental. One of the possible causes listed is head trauma. I had a significant incident around the age of 10 or 11 ....it makes me wonder if that played a role. But, I guess I'll never know for sure.

I will have to disagree with you on one point though, I don't think that DSPD is a form of insomnia. The diagnostic criteria are pretty clear that DSPD patients do not have problems sleeping. I mean, I guess it depends on your definition of "insomnia" (the definition is more complex when the word is used to describe a medical condition); however, just using the word from the dictionary (meaning "inability to sleep") I don't think that DSPD qualifies as insomnia. It'd be interesting to hear what a sleep specialist would say though.

Anyway, thank you so much for the suggestion. At least now I have something to discuss with the doctor, and hopefully someday find a specialist that knows how to ...at the least...treat the symptoms.

I hope this type of question is OK for these forums. If not, I do apologize.

My situation is such that my natural sleep cycle is from about 4 a.m. to 11 a.m. or noon. It's been that way since as long as I can remember. Even when I worked as a high school teacher for 3 years, my body never adjusted and the last day was just as miserable as the first. Fortunately, my schedule is now such that I very rarely have to wake up early in the morning, so for 90% of my life, I'm actually able to sleep the hours that work best for my body.

However, for those days that I do have to wake up early, I end up being very anxious about it beforehand, and am pretty miserable. Therefore, I was wondering if is a drug out there that can reliably put you to sleep after imbibing and then still allow you to wake up 7-8 hours later without being "too" groggy. In other words, when I have an early morning appointment, I'd love to be able to take a pill at 9 p.m., be assured of being asleep by 10 p.m. and easily wake up 7-8 hours later.

I plan to talk to my doctor about this next time I go in; however, she is just a primary care physician (not a sleep specialist) ..so, I would love to have some suggestions, especially if folks have experiences to share.

Thanks!

If needed temazepam, you can get it in America pretty easy as long as you say and say it confident like "I have used it before and it seemed to work in comparison to [ambien, x-type drugs trazadone, amtypline which by the way SUCKS, etc... All the ones off the top of your head also tell him you need 50+ mg's of melatonin just to go sleep. If you don't get temazepam then you could get something more relaxing and that'll knock you out pretty fast too; it'll be in same family just can't think of their names atm. Explain that you legit have so bad I sleep make yourself look tired and just out of shape due to lack of sleep and do what I said and you should get something really good due to being honest and look and even act like it. Being legit yet still asking for a med in a good way so they don't cut you off right there and give you some shitty ass pills is like trazadone but explain how nothing is working and say you've tried everything and under the sun and didn't want to ask for that old med I took way back before I had you as a doctor and he'll think, some then decide and figure out if that'll help or some other script.

I find what knocks me out the best would definetly be Xanax but then again I'm an upper person and rarely take downers but when I'm crashing from an upper and can't sleep thats what I take to get some sleep.. I notice just about a 0.5 mg of xanax is best because anything higher makes me groggy in the morning.

I am new here so I will keep it short. I have tons of luck and 0 negative issues with Vanatrip, Elavil, Endep. The doses I use vary due to how many hours I want to sleep. Without fail i can sleep great from 4 up to 13 hours depending on dosage. When I wake up I feel like a million bux with no "hangover". With my 2 cents out there I will always suggest good self research from several independent sources for safety. Good luck in your endeavors.

Why thank you for your appreciation!
