    Ambien, I’m sorry to say, is totally useless.

    It’s the placebo effect that works wonders.

    You spend lots of money for a doctor’s visit and a “sleeping pill.” You take it, go to bed, and in 15 minutes you are sound asleep.

    Or, skip the doctor and the money, go to bed, and in 15 minutes you are sound asleep.

    Hey JohnnyD. I envy people that can just lay down and go to sleep, the only thing that helps is some good bloodclad herb mon, but I gave that up for Lent…..or Chanukah….or Ramadan, I can’t recall which. BTW, are you getting too much sun? Your forehead looks a little redder than usual.

    My poor wife has tried everything


    She says a lot of it works at first and then after a while it’s ineffective


    I work nights and sleep days, have no trouble falling dead asleep but can’t stay that way more than about 4 hours at a time


    We call our five cats nap counselors and they have been trying their best to show us how it’s done

    Try reading Queen Victoria. After 2 strips you are bored to sleep.

    For over twenty years, I slept only 3 or 4 hours a night, intermittently. Then one night two years ago, I slept all the way through and still do. Trouble is that I want to sleep through the day too.

    Talk radio did it for me. I’m not talking about politics here, just the sound of human voices saying things. I listen, and after a while I get interested, and then BAM asleep, just like that. Then I wake up to turn the radio off and I’m awake for ten or fifteen more minutes. (Old-time radio shows work too.)

    What also helped was reading that lying still with your eyes closed was almost as good as sleep. True or not (and I haven’t checked), it took the pressure off.

    Pab, do what most of us do, sleep on the job! Most movies coming out these days are boring enough. Exception The Hobbit (after the first hour or so)

    So what does a sleepwalking queen do?

    People like that aren’t necessary to be envied. My dad could do that, but only because he learned to the hard way, catching a few Zs in a muddy, frozen trench with 88s pounding away, machine guns chattering, and tanks rumbling along.

    Try melatonin.

    Make sure your bedroom is pitch black, tape over LEDs on your electronics as needed, use F.lux on your computer to dim the blue part of the light spectrum after sunset (full spectrum light bulbs are bad for this reason), and you’re well on the way to fixing the problem. Melatonin might help, it worked until it didn’t. Light control has worked better than anything else.

    There’s tons of relaxation and sleep-meditation videos to be found on YouTube. I like to keep my laptop on my bed and listen to them through earbuds on occasions where my mind just won’t quiet down at night.
