Does anyone know a treatment for insomnia that involves a sensitivity to light and noise?
I’m an extremely light sleeper. If there is any noise, I probably won’t get to sleep. So, I sleep with the fan on to drown out noises. Unfortunately, in the morning, I wake up with the sun. So, I don’t need an alarm clock, and I wake up earlier and earlier during the summer months. I put up a thick blanket to cover my window in order to have some sanity. As well, if I wake up in the middle of the night, it often takes me a long time to fall back to sleep – if I do. Because I’m such a light sleeper, I think I actually don’t get enough sleep. By the weekend, I need a long nap to offset the sleep I don’t get during the week. Can anyone suggest any websites or ways to help with this sort of insomnia?
PS: ear plugs and masks don’t work as they bother me and prevent me from sleeping. Way too sensitive!
I too am a light sleeper and suffer from insomnia. There are a few things that you can do/take. These were all recommended by my doctors and my brother-in-law who is an anesthesiologist because I did not want to take a Rx sleep aid.
1. Buy a Melatonin supplement. They are natural, come in 3mg pills, can get them at the grocery store. They help establish natural sleep patterns. You take one pill 20 minutes before you go to bed. They make you feel like you want to go to bed. If it is severe, you can take two. I used this when I worked nights so I could sleep during the day. You may experience more dreaming. Melatonin is what your body naturally produces to make you *sleepy*. You don’t feel groggy in the morning.
2. After taking the Melatonin, get in a hot shower. When you get out your body temperature will drop. This mimics the process when you fall asleep (your temp drops when you first fall asleep). Helps you to get drowsy.
3. If those don’t work try taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine- buy the cheap allergy pills. They are straight diphen. and a HECK of a lot cheaper than the name brand stuff and it’s the same thing!) Start with one pill, but you can take two. I don’t like this method because if you can’t get at least 8 hours you may feel tired when you wake up. *Sometimes it doesn’t always work and can have the opposite effect. This is random and they don’t know why it happens. One day it works, the next it doesn’t. But I would say it works more often than not. If it’s not working right away, a 1/2 glass of wine or 1/2 a beer is acceptable to take with it. (Doctor’s recommendation). A normal adult should be knocked out by two. (50mg?)
4. Try to take a brisk 30 min walk at least once a day. Excercise during the day (and the Vitamin D from the sun) helps with the natural production of Melatonin and Seratonin.
5. Take Omega 3. You’ll feel better over all– it can act as a Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitor. Basically leaving more in your system (as I understand it).
Good Luck and Happy Dreams!
