Sheila,
Your question is an understatement. My lack of sleep is just about doing me in. It is one of the reasons I went to the dr in March 03.. when they found the mets. I am able to sleep only when completely exhausted, which is usually during the day. Then up all night. Horrible schedule.
Everytime my head hits the pillow life just runs a movie of my life and the things I need to do, to tell someone, to talk to the dr... and on and on. Tried Tylenol PM, then Benadryl, and finally ... Ativan 1 hr before bedtime is just enought to quiet the mind. But if I go much past the hour, it doesn't work. So need to follow a routine as much as possible.
Hope you get this under control.... I feel that my body can't heal if I don't get solid rest.
Hugs,
Janelle
PS. ear plugs also work.. live in a apartment and small noises were disturbing my sleep.
