What can I do for sleep deprivation other than melatonin, rx drugs, and bedtime techniques to keep me asleep?
I’ve been working 60 something hours for the past few months. Everytime I get off of work, I cannot sleep a good 7 to 9 hours. I would wake up every hour or two (My boyfriend snores), or just naturally wake up after 4 hours of sleep. I have just about tried every technique available: milk, hot bath, light walk, stretch, read a book, OTC sleep medication (I was eventually taking 8 at a time, and I was told to stop). I’ve spoke to my doctor about sleep deprivation, but he seems to think I am too young to be prescribed Ambien (his excuse was that it can be addictive). I feel like I’m losing hope going to sleep…Help!
Losing hope is typical of an over-stressed system. And that’s where you’re going with the long hours of work & short hours of sleep. So don’t let go, okay?
Along with all of the “pre-sleep” things that have been offered to you, I ask; Do you plan your sleep? I know, it sounds really strange. But it was a life saver for me.
While you’re having that nice cup of tea, or glass of warm milk, think about your day. There’s a lot going on in there, right? Well, how much of it can you fix in the next 7 hours? You can’t fix many of them, can you? So give yourself permission to sleep. Then imagine what it will feel like to wake up 8 hours later. A nice feeling, isn’t it?
Now, you have “cleared the slate” and planted an idea in your mind that it will probably be happy to make true. The scientific word for what happens when your mind’s picture of your world doesn’t match your visual world is ‘scitoma’. And the best thing about creating a scitoma is that your mind will work toward the prefered version.
So plan on waking up at whatever time your alarm clock is set for…thus, planning your sleep. Oh – and see if bf will try those snore-strips. Even just for a week.
