trouble sleeping
i have not been able to sleep well at all. i take about 2 hours to fall asleep, and then i'll wake up about 10 times during the night, and then take another 10 minutes to fall asleep after each time. i don't like to take sleeping pills cuz they make me wake up in a haze the next morning, and i get up really early. what can i do?

There are alot of reasons for insomnia. First, I think you should think of some underlying causes for your sleep troubles. Are you under stress? In pain? Perhaps it's even something you're eating or drinking during the day or shortly before going to bed. My best advice would be to see a doctor as soon as possible. The human body needs sleep to re-energize and recouperate, without it you open yourself up to both medical and mental problems. Waking up 10 times a night after taking 2 hours to fall asleep is certainly pretty extreme. If, for some reason, you don't want to see a doctor for this at least try something mild like Tylenol PM. It works well without the morning groggyness that you describe. I, myself, struggle with occassional insomnia and know how frustrating it can be. I've actually taken Nyquil or Benadryl to help me fall asleep and sleep thru the night. But I wouldn't suggest ever doing this on a regular basis. There are also some pretty good meditation tapes on the market. Go to Amazon.com and check those out. These can be helpful as well. I hope that I've been some help. Good luck!
