I've solved it the hard way...stop taking meds cold turkey. Don't take anything at all. The first few nights and days it will be hard. You'll still lay awake most of the night, be tired the next morning, and probably a little grumpy. Whatever it takes, don't nap during the day and let the exhaustion start to set in. This might go on for several nights, but eventually the lack of sleep caught up with me and I felt myself starting to fall asleep on my own. By the third or fourth night, I was so tired that it didn't matter anymore and I finally just konked out! If you try it, maybe start on a Friday night when you know Ryan will be home to help you cope the next day and you won't be alone. I guarantee by Tue or Wed you will be falling asleep again. Just like with babies, when your body needs sleep, it will finally give in. Good luck!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691719225030385213.post-1108556716110452032011-08-23T19:19:10.000-05:002011-08-23T19:19:10.000-05:00Being a december mommy myself I am in the same boa...Being a december mommy myself I am in the same boat. Its worse now then when I was pregnant. I get Rye down for the night around 9. Then I follow at ten and I lay there forever, sometimes until 12 or 1 oclock in the morning. However I dont and havent taken anything (like ambien) because I still have to get up for Rye if he needs me at night and in the mornings. My doctor told me to take a tylenol PM before bed each night. I hope the working out helps you!Forever Amourhttp://www.4everamour.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
