I have never been a good sleeper, and not being able to move when I wake up is a pain in the neck-literally!! If I consistently get less than 5 hours per night I will take an ambien, but I’d try to keep it to a minimum and only use one 30 pill prescription per year. I usually just switch channels on the TV (thank you Amazon Echo) and get what sleep I can. We have had such a mild winter that I have been able to be outside a lot, and that makes it easier for me to sleep.

At the time, I rarely slept more than 2 hours straight. I figured I was doing more damage to my brain by never getting any rest than taking something. I was an insomniac before my injury. Then add not being able to reposition at will. Now I pop an ambien every other night. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> www.avast.com On Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 7:15 PM, Jeffrey Gaede <jsga...@yahoo.com <mailto:jsga...@yahoo.com> > wrote: Anybody have answers to trouble sleeping or at least feeling rested when first awake, besides medication of any kind?
