Last night wound up being an all-nighter of no sleep. I finally got a couple of hours from 5-7 a.m. I took a short nap this afternoon, but managed to to stay up most of the day. Jean had suggested Benadryl (which didn't work last night) and melatonin. I got some melatonin at WalMart this morning, and will give that a try tonight. In my web-surfing during the night for melatonin, I read that as we age, melatonin production slows and/or ceases. Also that surgery can greatly disrupt sleep. So I'm into those things.
We'll see how it works tonight.
One of the more common reasons for wakefulness is mild pain, often so mild you don't realize it's there.
ReplyDeleteIf I suspect that, I will try some Tylenol, which usually gives me several hours of uninterrupted sleep. On the other hand, I have no problem with sleeping in or napping in the afternoon, since I am (mostly) not responsible for anyone else.
