Just ticked over into day two and I can't sleep. I'd just like to say again how great it is to have stumbled across this site the other day. I remember last time I tried to go AF, before I knew all about you guys, I would just lie there awake becoming more and more frustrated.

I can't sleep

I had this problem recently when I went AF just for a week, wasn't sleeping at all. I tried taking valerian root an hour before bedtime - it helped. It was better than not sleeping at all!

Hi Zeppie, I think that's a common problem when you first go af. It didn't happen to me (I couldn't wake up :H) but I understand it will right itself over a short time.
Have you tried any of the supplements to help? I understand valerian is supposed to be excellent for helping to sleep. Oh yes and stay off the coffee! :H

Thanks Vlad, did take some but it had other herbies in it, will go to the shops tomorrow after the doctor and see what I can find.

I agree with Vlad.Valerian works for me and then if I wake up in the middle of the night I take Melatonin..Chamomile tea is a good nightcap that starts me to wind down.I longer I am AF,the better I sleep...

Taking the skipping ropes of those bloody sheep might be a good idea too!

Melatonin also works for me. I take it about 15 mins. before bed and off to lala land. Also take it in the middle of the night if I wake up. Oh - they come in 3 mg capsules, but I take it apart and pour a third on my tongue - works for me

I picked up some 300 mcg melatonin tablets and was wondering how many I should take to start off with to achieve sleep? Also can you take this in conjunction with Diphenhydramine?

Sleep...what is sleep....I suffer from insomnia...at times it is VERY bad....if you are newly AF, it does get better for most. Tried Melatonin?

trazedone - 50 mgs every night. I always sleep great,(except this week!) even if i go camping.Someday i'll do a natural remedy.
