i've been using sleeptracks since 5 august and have had very good results. last night i went to BED @ 7pm, got up @ midnight, back to bed @ 2:30am, got up @ 5:10. MY TOES are still COLD grrr …
i should add that i was taking 3 hard-core sleeping pills for the past 7 years until last week. i was taking Temazpam 30mg, Seroquel 25mg and Ativan 2mg. i didn't make a big deal out of going off them, they just weren't needed after a while.

WOW… were you taking those all at 1 time each night?
lately my sleep is all over the place. last eve i had a nice nap at around 5pm then felt tired and went to bed at 8ish. i'm trying to go to bed when i feel tired which is hard for me.
BIG discovery this am. i got up with a bad headache. i don't get headaches so this was unusual. i tried a bit of coffee but the headache didn't go away. then i noticed that my furnace was “cutting out” trying to start but it couldn't. then i remembered that recently i couldn't even start my furnace without cleaning the filter which blocked the fresh air. so i immediately opened the front door wide and could see a rather big draft coming in. then i listened to the furnace and sure enough it finally came on without any problem. and my headahce cleared up completely. so i now know that the furnace and i need FRESH AIR! 😛
i seem to be into the 1st and 2nd sleep pattern now. my 1st sleep lasts for about 3 hours; i get up and work on whatever project i'm doing at the time for about 3 hours; my 2nd sleep lasts for about 4 hours. i get up and start my day at around 7am.
i'm experiencing a set-back. i went off my hard-core sleeping pills (2 left) about a month ago and now i don't feel good. i'm hot/cold and have stomach discomfort and my sleep is not good again. so i'm thinking of going back onto the pills and try to go off them more gradually. i need to do someting. i'm getting into this anxiety thing and worried a lot about the future. it's snowing today and i may not be able to get out. this is dragging me down too. i'll start with the anti-depressant. take this tonight and see what happens. my pharmacist told me that it will take 6 months for the medication to be out of my system but the DR at the emerg said it should be much shorter. maybe the pharmacist is right.
Do keep us updated – and make sure you speak with your doctor if you're experiencing side-effects from coming off the sleeping pills.
