Problems with sleep?

[Rick 67]

I have had problems sleeping for years. Getting to sleep is not the problem staying asleep is. My wife recently got me some tart cherry tablets. They seem to help. I take 1 about an hour before I go to bed and I have been staying asleep longer

******Ambien CR

Scariest medication I've ever taken. Seriously.



So? You're a skydiver aren't you?

Oh yeah, that reminds me, my room mate got a prescription for the stuff a while back and the first night she took it I heard someone in the back yard and then knocking at the door, at 2 AM. Now I don't usually get visitors at 2 AM, so I grab my katana on the way up the stairs. Also, since I'm half asleep I forgot to put my shirt on. At least I was wearing pants.

So I open the door and there are 3 or 4 cops there. They see me and go for their guns and I'm like "AAaaah wait wait wait!" and hand the sword to one of them. They explain they'd had a 911 call from the house. Well at this point I'm a bit concerned that my room mate's having a problem and they're probably concerned that I may have just murdered my room mate with a katana, so I holler down at her and make her get her ass out of bed so we can all see she's OK.

Turns out she'd left her phone on the floor and her cat logically thought it was a perfect kitty bed and somehow managed to dial 911 on it while wiggling around on the damn things. Apparently also not the first time this particular cat had done that. The cops were somewhat skeptical about this explanation but didn't seem they had enough to go on to force themselves in, so they gave me back my sword and went away.

So anyway, good reason to avoid Ambien!

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

She left her house phone on the floor from an Ambien haze or something like that? And the cat was on top of it resulting in a 911 dial?

My cat likes to sleep on top of my cell phone when I leave it on the bed when I sleep. I think she likes the heat it puts out. And yes, she's dialed someone from being on top of it but it was just my BF at the time. No biggie. If it was 911, since it was a cell, it would've taken a lot more research to get the cops here.

Always be kinder than you feel.

I guess, yeah. She usually had it on a night stand but moved it to the floor for some reason. I'm going to assume it was an ambien haze. She also later told me she had several phone and text message conversations with friends that she didn't remember having when she was on the stuff. I have a lot of trouble sleeping, but I don't think I'll be resorting to that stuff anytime soon!

Again, weird, and merely supports my avoidance of medication...

I once had a co-worker who was suffering from headaches, and after being referred to specialists, he was finally diagnosed with "cluster headaches". They put him on Propranolol, (also used for hypertension).

One morning he came into work with a funny look on his face and told me:

"You know how they told me that medication might cause 'vivid dreams'?
Well...when I woke up this morning...and looked at my wife...I felt guilty!"
