Insomnia? Posted: 07-17-07 12:59pm
I know that Ive run into a lot of tmd
patients that have trouble sleeping at
night. Is this the same for any of you?

well usually when I cant sleep I take
melatonin. that usually knocks me out. If
that doesnt work I use essential oil of
lavender ---just rub it into the temple
area--it relaxes you. the other thing is
sour cherry concentrate. if you need info.
i can get it for you.
oh and dont forget to vote on the poll:)

Most of the time I can't sleep at all -
until around 2/3am. This is annoying as I
get up at around 6/7am. I find though that
sometimes I get to sleep at say midnight,
then I keep waking up non-stop until it's
finally time for me to get up for uni - I
have no idea how to solve this.
I nap most afternoons and my parents tell
me not to do this as it stuffs around with
my body clock but I find that if I don't
nap then I'm just even more tired the next
day and it makes no difference to how I
sleep at night.
The other night my boyfriend was staying
over and I was absolutely exhausted, like
I thought for sure I would be able to fall
asleep. But I couldn't. I just couldn't! I
was rolling over trying to get comfortable
but it wouldn't work. Then at around 5am I
started crying and my boyfriend woke up to
comfort me and he cuddled me - but this
didn't help... That night I probably got a
total of 2 hrs sleep.
My mum refuses to let me use sleeping
pills...

I thought that my sleeping problem lately
was just stress. The last few weeks I
have been taking forever to fall asleep
and then wake up between 2-3 every night
lately with pain. And then I am finished
as I just can not get comfortable to go
back to sleep another 2 hours of trying to
sleep before nodding off and I have to get
up at 5:30. I am so tired lately and can
not function and just want to sleep.
Before this I was able to fall asleep and
never wake up and now sleeping is a
struggle.

tmj can be caused by stress and that also
effects your sleep. have you tried sour
cherry extract? that helps. also
meletonin, valarian root.

where can i get that?
My stress if from the TMJ and my ankle
problem since I damaged the nerves there.
Having a hard time dealing with both
problems at one time.
The mouth guard has made my sleeping
worse.

Is there anything else people use to
sleep.
I have tried what you suggested and still
have the same problem.
I really do not want to go on sleeping
pills, I will leave that as a last
resort.

IVe turned to drinking at night, not
saying its good for you, but im sure TMJ
pain suffferors will say being under the
influence is better than living constantly
with pain.
