i'm interested in doing a sleepy study. it sounds like it could be very useful to me. one of my best friends took her kid for a sleep study as the kid was suffering from some sleep apnea, and the results were illuminating. they discovered that even aside from the sleep apnea (the kid has unusually large tonsils and has since been scheduled for surgical removal), their brain woke them up 5 times an hour. combined with the sleep apnea caused by the breathing trouble, and it was a whopping 13 times an hour. the poor kid was never able to fall into deep, restful sleep. naturally, they were suffering from health trouble–cognitive trouble, attention-deficit, behavioural issues, etc.
the downside is i understand it can be quite expensive. something like 3 grand, in this case. i'll have to check with my insurance and see what it's going to be like for me.
Yikes that does sound pricey. What are you hoping or interested in discovering with the sleep study? Are you concerned you may have sleep apnea? Do you think more specific data on your sleep habits could help you sleep?

Welcome aboard, Elfin and thanks for introducing yourself. Perhaps the very fact you have 7 children is the cause of your insomnia – life must be hectic!
Have you seen a doctor about your insomnia?

You chose the right place to post – so don't worry about that!
Getting up during the night to pee sometimes affects me, too. Normally I am OK getting back to sleep but if something is on my mind my brain will go into overdrive again and I'll struggle to get back to sleep. I find that if I drink anything within about 3 hours of going to bed, I'll be up during the night. Therefore, I avoid all liquids for quite a while before I hit the sack.
As for the bladder burning; you should probably speak with your doctor about that.

I don't think this is the article you were referring to, Baron; but your post reminded me of this blog post from last December:

Apparently dark chocolate and whey protein isolate contain tryptophan. Probably not in particularly high doses but it may be worth investigating:

If no other members chime in on this one after a few days, I'll send your question out in a bulletin. Our members have tried lots of different treatment options so someone must have given tryptophan a whirl!

Is that the other book by the same author? If so, no I haven't read it but I've been told it's good. I might put it on the reading list when I'm done with Tony Blair!

When we left New York, our original expectation was to end up living in San Francisco. I had been there before and loved it, as had my wife. We also have friends that live there.
When we got there we rented a car for a month and did a lot of travelling up the coast all the way to Seattle. The stops in between (and the journey in general) convinced us that we were done with city life.
Well, at least for now!

Good to hear you're OK.
So, will the government be introducing a cyclone tax to go along with the flood tax?!

'fishyherring10' wrote on '02:I really don't think there are any positives to insomnia, other than one insomniac is probably the only person who really can understand another insomniac and therefore is able to show real empathy.
What about the other suggestions for 'positive' aspects offered by other members? Do you agree with any of those? Insomnia can be tough, and it can be very difficult to look for any positives. Sometimes it can help to dig, though. If only to help you cope.
Welcome to the forums, by the way 🙂

Welcome to the forums, Pete – and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. I am sure a few other members will drop by over the next few days to welcome you, too.
We have a few urbanites here as members. Off the top of my head I think Baron and Matt are our chief city-dwellers.
We have a great community here – we offer each other support but also try to have fun by chatting about completely off-topic things, too. I'm sure you'll fit right in.
Enjoy, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
