My Buddy Can't Sleep?!
Question: My Buddy Can't Sleep.?
He has pretty bad insomnia.
Last night he finally got to bed 12-9, but before that he's been up 72 hours straight over three days.
I feel so bad for him, because he's been stuck with insomnia for a couple years now, and the days he doesn't sleep he gives up and stays up doing other things.
He's tried pills, but they only work for a couple hours before he's up again, and they make him extremely groggy.
Are there any other ways, like whatever you try, as crazy a solution as you can think of. Warm milk, Ribs, A boring book, whatever.
Thanks a lot :DHealth Question & Answer

Answers:
the only thing that ever helped me sleep was a water bed or an outdoor swing. give it a try before u laugh. the rocking motion helps a lot. worth a try. or try the white noise discs. like rain or the ocean stuff like that. is his sleep area dark enough.? sometimes street lights can ruin sleep. tell him to lay down when he is tired not to wait til later. nothing is that important u have to finish it before sleeping

uhm...72 hours IS 3 days...so you could either say he's been up for 72 hours straight, or 3 days straight...but not both.
I would wonder about bipolar disorder if someone is awake for 3 days straight and they aren't on a cocaine or meth bender.
If his insomnia is that severe...I don't think "crazy ideas" like warm milk , turkey, or boring books are the solution.Health Question & Answer
