yeah your right....it is treating the symptom but atleast u feel alive rather than half dead!!...

i usually live on diet pepsi, red-bull and pro-plus tabs to get me thru the day....but not enough stimulant to be honest....

so when do u reckon you will get to sleep today?






You are taking in quite a lot of stimulant though.....do you take pro plus and red bulls, pepsi every day ?

*le sigh*...I know I will be awake until at least 9am....though......I am shattered right now...

I feel awful that you need to be at work soon............could you not.....well.. ...sneakily call in sick or something ?......just for today....?...what do you do ?

lol...i was off sick yesterday as i was seriously feeling crap...im shattered now but think i should be able to get thru the day today!!...esp since ive got some work to finish off!

im an industrial chemist which isnt good as im handling hazardous chemicals everyday....but i guess when your always sleep deprived u learn to concentrate more on tasks just to make sure your doing things right....

i take atleast one from the list everyday or a cocktail on some days but before u say lose the "uppers" it might help u sleep ...i have tried that for over 4 months and no difference!

This I took from your link.. many of these things are known already.. !
 

"People who experience a lack of sleep experience concentration problems and other difficulties."

I find this very true in my case also.. many other things they mentioned also.

its funny how these sleep articles keep coming out just confirming things that we already know...but losing this much sleep cannot be good....

I remember when i had an allnighter and ended up watching telly most of the night, and one of the programs that came on was how to live longer...and while i was shattered and probably on my millionth attempt to catch some zzzzz'z the program tells me that u could shave a number of years of your life if you dont get enough sleep!!....well that was nice!!!!

my uncle told me today that apparently cherries can help u sleep...anyone heard of that?..i'll try googling it sometime....

nope, never heard of cherries doing that.. i will google it some time..

Hey Neil, or anyone else.. do you know of these tablets.. Yesterday the doctor said he wants me to add these to my meds.. LOL It says Rozerem, Rameteon.I am leary about trying them.. I looked them up on net after he wrote it up.. it says they are not addictive and are supposed to boost your serotonin levels.. Have you guys ever used them.. I do not like pills.

The only way cherries would make me sleep would be if a crate of them fell on my head !!
