I started on this site two days ago and have been AF both mon and tues. Before I drank 2 bottles of white wine at least every other night - more if I had one of those insidious boxes of wines where no one could keep tabs.
I have been a chronic insomniac for over 25 years. And a problem drinker for over 20 years. So the insomnia came first.
I am also on oral steroids and antibiotics for a infection on my arm (poison sumac). I've never been on steriods before so I don't know about their affect on sleep.
So here are my questions. I am taking Calms forte as suggested in the book, but I have awakened both nights at 2 am wide awake with no chance of going to sleep. I've watched TV, read a book, done sudoku and laundry but nothing works. But why am I waking up when I take Calms forte when it is a sleep aid? I'm taking the four pills a day or whatever it is? Has anyone had a similar issue? Could it be the steroids? I am hyper at 2 am!
Second question: If this is a sleep aid, why does the book say to take more in the morning than in the evening? Does it build up in the system? I'm not sure I understand much about this 'remedy'.
Thanks.
