Hello, im 19, I suffer the same way. I
have insomia. I suffered from it for
years, but it got worse after taking
lexapro, a antidepressant. I go to bed
1 or 2. And wake up all hours of the
night, and can't sleep.. Then when I
finally get to sleep I sleep soooo late..
It drives me nuts. Try melatonin.
Its safe natural. It helps me
sometimes. Heres some more info from a
site.. Love metallee
melatonin is the all-natural nightcap.
It's secreted by the pineal gland, a
pea-size structure at the center of the
brain, as our eyes register the fall of
darkness.
"at night melatonin is produced to help
our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycles.
The amount of it produced by our body
seems to lessen as we get older.
Scientists believe this may be why young
people have less problem sleeping than
older people.
"studies suggest that... Supplements
can hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without
the hazards or side effects of
prescription sleeping pills."
it may have many other uses and has been
reported to make people feel better,
strengthen the immune system, and reduce
free radicals in the body. Current
research is underway to determine it's
effect as an anti-oxidant, immno-modulator
in cancer, delayed sleep-phase disorders,
and jet lag. Tests are still under way
so there is much to still be learned about
it and its effects on the human body.
Travelers and people suffering from mild
sleep disorders.
According to the article, a typical
comment from discussion groups on the
internet is, "'folks, i've tried it and
it's great. It has ...Restored my sleep
cycle, given me lots of energy.'" (6 nov.
1995, p. 60-63)
