I can't sleep but I'm sooo tired.

Yep, waiting for NyQuil to kick in...

I've tried that before but it usually only knocks me out for 2-3 hours. You must work the graveyard shift?

Hope you got some sleep Chris. Sometimes a glass of wine will help take the edge off and allow the mind to relax for sleep.

Yup, works too :o

I use to have that issue when I was young. I finally cured mine by getting on a set schedule. For years I would go to bed at 10:00 and get up at 5:30. It cured my problem. I can now venture out of this restriction for a few days without issue but is I push it too far I get all kinds of out of whack.

Good luck. I know it sucks.

Your absolutely right John. I need to get myself on a set sleeping schedule. I'm going to try melatonin

LOL! Thank you Rick and Pat for your help but I don't drink alcohol. I am however going to try melatonin:)

My wife uses melatonin and it works great for her. I've had it a few times and itll definitely make you tired. If you have a serious problem you could get ambian but it is addicting and terrible to get back on a normal schedule

Good bottle of ale with lots of Hops will also do the trick. You can also skip the ale, stop at a homebrew shop, and buy the hops alone.. steep it some in any non-caffiene herbal tea and its off to LALA Land.

Grrr! Right now I'm on your wife's side. :mad: Lol! Only kidding. My sister is the same way, as soon as her head touches her pillow she's out like a light.

Hmm, I wonder if you have a high tolerance to the doxylamine succinate in NyQuil. I'm knocked out at least 4 hours (when disturbed) with it, but can go as long as 10-12 hours left alone.

Sadly, last time I was actually employed specifically for graveyard shift was 14 years ago. My sleep issues now are mostly due to bad habits. Good internet speed = so easy to just turn on the work laptop and put in extra hours of work every night, or spend hours reading / researching about hobbies / interests.

My wife is exactly like this! In the past, I have literally just gotten a response from her in bed and I turn to her and she is snoring! I wish I could be like that. The last 2 days I have tossed and turned after I turned off the tv and it took me over 2.5hrs to go to sleep.

Funny enough, the reason I turned off the tv was because I was falling asleep.
