You're probably best off starting a new discussion thread regarding klonopin – new discussion subjects with their own topic will get the most views and are likelier to get a response.
Do you suffer from anxiety/panic attacks or was the klonopin prescribed solely for your insomnia?

Are you referring to the color green, or the environmentally friendly green?
If it's the color:
A couple of years ago I wrote about research that found green light resets our internal body clocks, which can affect our sleep.
Here's the blog post: http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/green-light-may-be-influencing-your-insomnia/
Here's the original news report: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-05-13-sleep13_ST_N.htm
As for the environmentally friendly green – I would imagine LED lightbulbs affect sleep just as much as regular bulbs since they expose us to artificial light, thus affecting our body clocks. If this is the angle you meant, can you point me to the study – I'd be interesting in learning how the authors of the study found LED lightbulbs to me more damaging to sleep than regular lightbulbs or artificial light.

This made me curious too. After a bit of digging I found this:
In a long forgotten study from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1945, a group of patients with insomnia were treated with a severely restricted salt intake. After 4-7 days the majority of individuals began to fall asleep easier. A few weeks later most noticed big differences in their ability to fall asleep.
Low Sodium Chloride intake in the treatment of insomnia and tension states. Journal of the American Medical Association. September 22, 1945: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=275931
Most people think they follow a low salt intake but in fact are wrong. On average 90% of our salt intake comes from packaged foods, while only 10% comes from the salt shaker. Cutting way back on salt involves not only avoiding the salt shaker but avoiding packaged food and cooking meals from scratch. Check labels of foods to see if they contain salt.
NOTE: Some people feel unwell on a very low salt intake, for example feeling fatigued and light headed. People with CFS and adrenal problems should not attempt a low salt diet.

Brayan – from a previous post you made it's my understanding that these suicidal thoughts are now behind you.
However, if you ever have suicidal thoughts or feelings again in the future, our forums are probably not the best place to discuss them. Instead, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on 1-800-273-8255.
