Sleep help
-
What would you take if you can barely sleep for weeks and are becoming weaker, can barely walk, stay in bed most of the day without sleeping. I just sleep à bitat nigt and wake up incapable of going back to sleep.
Please help. -
I had phases like that, once two weeks when I couldn't sleep more than three hours max a night. The only thing that helps me short-term with insomnia is an antihistamine drug like doxylamine (I can't get cyproheptadine, but that should work as well).
But it's not a long-term solution. Did anything change in your life since you started having insomnia? Diet, stress, relationships etc? What do you do when you wake up and can't get back to sleep? Do you feel hungry and/or hypoglycemic and does it help if you eat a little sugary snack?
I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)

A lot of sugar, forget your appetite and pile in the calories. Be careful with water and journal your behaviour to read back 3 days every 3 days.
Also, please. Communicate with your physician Elza. In great detail, with great frequency and on record.

@Elza progesterone or cyprohept

@Luke biosense in Richmond BC Canada will ship name-brand cyproheptadine internationally. it's expensive af tho
-
@Luke yes, I have tried some cyproheptadine called periactin here. It does help for sleep. I am able to get a few hours rest but I am too weak now to do anything.
-
@lobotomize progestérone doesn’t do anything but cyproheptadine does help.
-
@ThinPicking yeah, I might try this. I think it has to do with the antipsychotics but they won’t do anything.
The only thing that makes me deeply sleep is the benzodiazepine Ativan/temesta. -
@Elza Inhale some sauerkraut intranasally.
-
@ThinPicking @Elza if you are going to roll and smoke some sugar, make sure to add a protein source to it because you probably have either high hist, high sero or unrelated high adren, probably not high cortisol if you peat.
-
@Elza give me a rundown of your prebed routine supps /foods
-
All three "with sugar on top". But there's a confounding factor.

@Elza said in Sleep help:

You can’t recover as long cortisol counteracts the serotonine – melatonine cycle.
Stress → inflammation → ↓ serotonin → ↓ emotional regulation → ↑ stress.
I can develop if interested.
