cure for insomnia = cheese products

Heidi didn't start to get better until she went to live with her grandfather and could eat the good cheese.

i forget that one of the reasons i like the drinking is because it helps get me asleep...

they i lay off for a few days and....hello insomnia

I get really mediocre sleep after drinking though, unless it's narcolepsy-inducing red wine

well, yes...though a glass or two alone tends to help...more than that and im up again at 430...

2 - 3 solid beers = easy to get to sleep, not drunk sleep

Hh god, the up again at 4:30 thing sucks. anyone else wake up with their mind racing in the middle of the night after drinking too much? The only cure is to go back to sleep until noon, but sometimes I toss and turn for another two hours.

ive not had trouble getting to sleep for quite awhile now, but rarely sleep more than 3-6 hours at a time, no matter the alcohol/pot/pills or lack thereof consumed. anyone else experienced this, because it really sucks.

yeah i read about that in bell labs sleeping potions thread, but where do you buy it?

"While most scientists agree that melatonin helps people fall asleep faster, it may not help them stay asleep; plus it may cause a “hangover” effect the next day, similar to some sleeping pills"

^^ "hangover effect"?!? can't be worse than drinking wine!!

the sleeping pill hangover effect in my experience is similar to weed, in that you feel dead/like you should still be sleeping for about 1-2 hours. alcohol hangovers = youd actually sort of prefer to be dead. but a couple glasses of red wine isnt going to have anything close to that effect.

Walgreens! Cheap.

I didn't feel hungover at all. Take half pills though.

i had some friends seriously addicted to melatonin in school..be careful.

i hate the sleeping pill hangover...so try just editation and slight amounts of red wine...ive had insomnia sincei was about 8, so ive tried a million things...trouble isonce you have a glass or two, you figure, well..why not have 5 and knock yrself out, then yr up again...i find that if i wake up at 4, super awake, its best to get up...do some little thing, then read a bit of something real, real boring and thick (engels used to be good..kant, etc)..then sleep till 7...i tend to get those nights in jags, then break the cycle, clear my mind a bit...lord knows

ive also found watching tvs or movies if im not too sleepy is no good, as my brain starts moving..i find it better to read and focus my mind...dumping obsessive thoughts into a journal of some sort can also help

my friend warned me that melatonin may be dangerous and she thinks it's one of those things they're goign to pull from the market w/in a few years but who knows.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin#Safety_of_supplementation

Doesn't seem that bad from this

Sold as a dietary supplement in the USA, not as a drug, often in health food and other grocery stores and some drug stores, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations that apply to medications currently are not applicable to melatonin.[2] Safety and efficacy of melatonin products may not be assessed.

Like I'd trust them.

but you trust wikipedia...

wikipedia vs. fda

the FDA and the USDA are so fucking corrupt its not even funny

As for vCJD in humans, autopsy tests are not always done and so those figures too are likely to be too low, but probably by a lesser fraction. In the UK anyone with possible vCJD symptoms must be reported to the UK Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit and so it is unlikely that any cases would be missed. In the U.S., the CDC has refused to impose a national requirement that physicians and hospitals report cases of the disease.

The tests used for detecting BSE vary considerably as do the regulations in various jurisdictions for when, and which cattle, must be tested. For instance, in the EU the cattle tested are older (30 months+), while many cattle are slaughtered earlier than that. At the opposite end of the scale, Japan tests all cattle at the time of slaughter. Tests are also difficult as the altered prion protein has very small levels in blood or urine, and no other signal has been found. Newer tests are faster, more sensitive, and cheaper, so it is possible that future figures may be more comprehensive. Even so, currently the only reliable test is examination of tissues during an autopsy.
