Sarah Tee Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 I tried a new medication and of course got quite sick for a couple of days. It threw off my sleep cycle and I am struggling to get back on track. Any suggestions? (I have tried a couple of types of sleeping tablets as a means to get back on schedule other times when this has happened, but I ended up dopey and dozing all through the next day.)

MikeO Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 I listen to old time radio shows. Usually become one of the characters in the show while dreaming. I know it's weird but works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 @Sarah Tee What helps me when I can't sleep is reading before bed and a white noise machine. I can try to listen to the background noise and fall asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Tee Posted March 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 @Pistol, that’s a good idea about the white noise. I use a fan but I should get proper white noise organised. I have temporarily given up on sleeping at the right time and am just sleeping when I can. When I feel a bit better I will try to get back into a good rhythm. I am gradually improving but it’s taking a while. What do you like to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Tee Posted March 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 @MikeO, I listen to podcasts or BBC radio programs, interviews, comedy quizzes, etc. I sometimes dream that I am in a quiz or interviewing a famous scientist! Are these old radio serials that you listen to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a good novel, especially historical fiction. Then there is the bible as well as other spiritual books, news paper .. it all depends on what I feel like at the moment. To go to sleep I usually choose a novel, puts me out like a light, unless it is a really good one ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these old radio serials that you listen to? No more like Superman, X-Minus One, Tarzan, Philip Marlowe, Gunsmoke, Jack Benny and many more CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Suspense. Google streaming old time radio you will plenty out on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
