How come you have issues sleeping? Any reason why?

I'm definitely having one of those nights too! It sucks! no one to talk to!! GRR

I am really in pain or my dr wouldn't have given them to me. and the zzzquil is just a sleep aid, melatonin doesn't help me, i've tried it.

I just saw you have trouble sleeping...I do too. I have severe PTSD, won't get into details, but I was prescribed Ativan for my panic attacks. If I REALLY REALLY cannot sleep and nothing else is helping me, I take one or two of those and I sleep like a log. Also don't feel like crap in the morning like with a lot of sleep aids.

I was never diagnosed with PTSD, but I feel that's my issue, I was raped...horrible nightmares all the time. the zzzquil helps me a lot

I have some serious nightmares from bad experiences.
or some nights its because I'm up with my 2 year old and I get over tired and can't sleep.
Sometimes just plain out insomnia

Oh okay. I remember talking to one of my psychology professors, and he said that some people get insomnia because they use their bed for other things besides sleeping. haha not perverted, but like some people eat in their beds. Some people watch TV in their beds, some people surf the internet while sitting in bed, etc. and he said that can actually cause insomnia because our bed should be used for sleeping only, and if it's not, then our body doesn't know how to relax because the bed has become a place where other energetic activities happen. For example, it's hard to fall asleep in a car because we are constantly awake in the car (driving, etc). I just thought it was really interesting and thought I would bring that up. He had an interesting point. Don't know if it applies at all, but interesting nonetheless.

Totally understandable. I just talked to some one about something near that. About when giving a kid a time out you don't put them in bed or at a table you set them on a step or in a corner because if you use the bed as a time out place they associate that with being punished and won't ever want to go to bed. Its just the way minds associate actions and reactions.

Yea exactly! It's really interesting! I love learning about classical and operant conditioning. Also, just like with a dog, the same idea applies. It's advised to not use a crate for punishment because then they will hate their crate, and the crate should really be seen as a "bedroom."
