Welcome to Forty Winks: A Group About Sleep

I have decide to expand this group from a narrow focus on sleep apnea to a broader focus on sleep health and sleep-related issues in general.

This is a forum where men can give or seek advice on sleep, insomnia, narcolepsy, or sleep apnea-related problems. Discussion posts can also include info on choosing a mattress, exercise advice for alleviating symptoms, or research articles on the science of healthy sleep, etc.

I only started the meds a month ago and this sleeping thing has been bugging me for as long as I can remember.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 22, 2013 at 8:27pm

Well, whether you like the water or not, just try it for a week instead of the milk and see if it makes a difference.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 22, 2013 at 8:26pm

Can the meds be affecting your sleep then?

Comment by Hunter on March 22, 2013 at 8:22pm

Well, I don't like drinking plain water very much and I am taking a medicine that absorbs all of the moisture in my body really quickly so I have to drink as much as I can round the clock. I drink water when I have to, such as at school, but when I can drink other stuff, I usually prefer that.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 22, 2013 at 8:10pm

I would cut back on all that, then. I've noticed that when I drink milk late at night, that I feel different when I wake up--namely my joints are stiffer. But I'm much older than you. 

But seriously, don't drink so much that late at night. Just try it for a week and see if it works out. 

You may also want to try some stretches and deep breathing. I know that always sounds silly, but I feel better in the morning if I stretch before I go to bed.

Oh, and I am 17.

Comment by Hunter on March 22, 2013 at 8:04pm

I pretty much keep drinking anything until I go to bed. Most of the time it is milk.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 22, 2013 at 7:32pm

Do you drink any of those late in the evening?

Comment by Hunter on March 22, 2013 at 7:17pm

I rarely drink anything with caffeine anymore. Now pretty much all I drink is Vitamin Water, Propel, and milk. And I always eat at around 6.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 22, 2013 at 7:09pm

What is your caffeine consumption like? Also, I've noticed that if I eat too late in the evening, especially a big meal, it prevents me from getting to sleep.
