Nairi jan, how the heck do you sunbath to get tired?

Lie under the sun for a while without going inside to cool yourself off with AC every few minutes. The beach is even better for this. I always fall alseep when I sunbathe and still feel very tired after I wake up. I also lose my appetite. Maybe because I'm so used to cold weather that when it's warm it screws up my whole system? Although LA sun doesn't make me as drowsy and sleepy as Dutch sun. It gets very humid here. Maybe that's why.

Thanks everybody for your help.

Nairi,

Your right, I do have a lot on my mind and that could be the source for my lack of sleep. I would love to solve this problem, but some things are meant to be unsolved. Thanks for the tips in forgetting about what's on my minds ... your right, crying does help sometimes

Koko,

I'm trying to cut down on Vodka

Armat and Domino,

I've heard great things about Melatonian, in fact that was the sleeping pill I had in mind. But for some reason it didn't cross my mind to try herbal tea. In fact I'm having some now Yum Yum

Storming,
Exercise could help because I used to work out almost every day, and never had any problems sleeping. But I've been super lazy lately

Sasun,


Maral,
Could I baby sit your cute little baby...jannnnnaaaa she's sooooo cute. That might help me get tired. Kidding, I do get tired ... but meanly not physically.

Azat,

[Maral]

Very sweet of you to ask But I still can't sleep. I got used to it already

[ED]

Extra, I took an ambian last night and slept like a baby, ambian is not for a long time use, if you have a disrupted sleep disorder then this drug will regulating it, it is NOT for a recreational use and should be as last resort, but it's the list harmful of all sleeping pills. I asked my doctor and he recommended it.

Why not buy a new bed? That might cure your problem.

[Sasun]

Extra jan, my 2 cents - take Unisom, it helped me 3 out of 5 times, might help you too.

Thanks Sasun, but I'm trying to stay away from sleeping pills.

[Arpa]

Anyway, I'm thinking too much... I'll go count some sheep now, that might help me fall asleep. Good night.

You may not have heard this.
There is a new/old sleeping pill. It is a three letter word. It starts with the letter S and ends with X.

I don't think sleeping pills are addictive, but I also don't think that's the only thing to worry about. I relied heavily on sleeping pills when I was studying for the bar because when I tried to fall asleep, my brain kept going and I kept thinking about the things I learned that day. Sleeping pills helped in that they helped me have a restful sleep; I didn't wake up in the middle of the night and felt relatively good when I woke up.

The thing about sleeping pills, though, is that after a while they stop working. That happened with both Ambien and Lunesta. I started taking two and then even two didn't work that well. Besides, given what has happened with Paxil (and other antidepressants), Celebrex, and sorrryyyyy, I'm sure that in a few years they'll say some of them can have harmful side effects.

For that reason I'd make some lifestyle changes instead. They're still really good for crunch times or for a temporary and very stressful period.

Depend what you mean by sleeping pills. Some physicians prescribes low dosage of potent psychotropic drugs as so-called sleeping pills. And unlike what you say, they are actually addictive, it is from the same pathway that any psychotropic drug becomes less and less active, needing to higher the dosage. It was even claimed by pharmaceutical compagnies that SSRI's are not addictive, and you will still find this claim on physcians desk drug book. This is simply playing with words:"It doesn't make you addictive, but you should not leave the drug 'cold turkey'."

[ED]

I take ambian not on egular bases, most days I took was 30 days which is 2 weeks more then what you should take, I cut it of right away and for my stay in boston i hardly could sleep (only 2-3 hours) at the nice hotel room for a week.

now i take it few times a week for stress relif for the reasons Sanval discribed.
loosing 50lb in 5 months just on diet is the wrong thing to do, I did, and had no choice but to take the ambian. its not addictive if you take only for 2 weeks at the most,and clears out of your system very fast, anyday longer then that makes it harder to stop, but its not like sigarets or hard core drugs

[SanVal]

longer then that makes it harder to stop, but its not like sigarets or hard core drugs

Yeah, exactly. But I still think that sleeping pills are not a long-term solution. I used to have a really hard time falling asleep sometimes, but it's gotten better recently. I think three things have made a difference: 1) less stress, 2) very comfortable air mattress (much more comfortable than regular mattresses), and 3) a walk outside every day.

As for the last point, I've found that taking the metro to work every day instead of driving has made a huge difference. As a result of doing that, I don't even need to go to the gym much because I walk about 16 blocks every day, and it's time I spend breathing fresh air and people-watching (which is interesting and relaxing). If you go outside every day, you'll probably see more than a few changes in how you feel.

Armenian SleepDoctor seeks to become first ever digital clinic for sleep disorders

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. Successful serial entrepreneurs Tatul Ajamyan and Armen Verdian, known for developing companies like Wakie, Cellprothera, and Biofuture, launched a telemedicine platform in France called SleepDoctor designed to help people with diagnosing and treating sleep disorders.

 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every second person in the world has a sleep disorder, and over 40% have insomnia.  Common sleep disorders like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy and sleep apnea can severely hurt your quality of life. There are more than 80 different sleep disorders.

“Sleep is the most overlooked issue,” says Tatul Ajamyan. “We will solve all sleep-related issues, from diagnosis to treatment. SleepDoctor is a website where you read about sleeping, fill in a questionnaire and get a diagnosis and treatment options.”

 

 

The diagnosis of sleep apnea – a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts – takes a lot of time, but SleepDoctor offers a quick solution, all from the comfort of your home.

The two entrepreneurs came up with the idea of SleepDoctor after reading Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker.

 

“We realized that there’s no digital clinic for sleep disorders. We decided to create the first Phygital  (physical and digital) platform. Sleep disorders are very common in the world, and 1 billion people have sleep apnea, but nearly 80% of them are undiagnosed. It takes somewhere from four to six months to get an apnea diagnosis in France, but SleepDoctor is doing it in two to three weeks, and we plan to bring this down to ten days,” Ajamyan said.

After filling in the questionnaire, SleepDoctor assesses your chances of having a sleep disorder, and if there is a high probability you talk to a doctor online. After that, the doctor gives you a device that you wear while sleeping. The SleepDoctor team will then take the device and you are left with one more teleconsultation with the doctor before your prescription and treatment.

SleepDoctor is now launched in the French cities of Paris, Bordeaux and Lyon, where approximately 55,000 people have already used the startup. The service is free in France.

SleepDoctor received investments from angel investors and two Armenian venture capital funds.

“I’ve developed various startups, this is my first healthcare-related one. These days you can solve any issue with various programs and technologies, but the healthcare sector is different. I was recently in India and I saw that there are several Armenian healthcare startups, and I’d like to encourage my friends and Armenian companies to work in this direction,” Ajamyan said.

The co-founder said that increasing the quality of life for people is their source of motivation and they want to become the first digital clinic for sleep disorders. The entrepreneurs plan to expand to other countries.
