There's no harm in missing a little sleep

We all go through times in our lives when sleep seems difficult. Some times, we just can't drop off. Other times, we wake early and can't get back to sleep. So we walk around the next day looking and feeling like one of the living dead. When evening comes, we drop exhausted in bed and sleep comes again. These occasional nights are nothing to worry about. Insomnia is a more persistent loss of sleep over weeks, months and, in some cases, years. If this does creep up on you, seeking help and advice earlier rather than later is best. But before you go and beat down the door of your local healthcare provider, just a few words of advice. Many people will tell you eight hours of sleep every night is the minimum requirement. This is nonsense. Everyone is different. Your body tells you what amount of sleep is appropriate for your lifestyle. Some people do well on four or five hours a night. Others find they can't function properly unless they get nine or ten hours of uninterrupted slumber. The key point is whether your ability to work is being affected. Stop listening to what others tell you. What does your own body tell you? If you're happy and well-adjusted in your life, your relationships are calm and even-tempered, and your boss approves of your performance at work, there's no need to worry. You're doing well and there's no need to force more. But if everything is falling apart, you need help. The first response is that you buy ambien, whether on prescription in your local drugstore or online where it's cheaper. This is a reliable and safe drug to take over a short time. The strategy is to give you a series of nights with good sleep. But ambien should not be considered a long-term solution to the problem. If at all possible, you should find ways of coping without becoming dependent on a tablet. In the case of insomnia, there are a number of simple steps you can take to begin relearning the art of sleep. Once you start feeling stronger through the use of ambien, it's time to make the changes. If your medical insurance covers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or you can afford to pay for private counseling, sign up. This form of therapy is simple and effective in teaching you how to sleep again. If this is unaffordable, stop napping during the day, fix a time in the evening for going to bed, make the bedroom dark and as soundproof as possible, look at improving comfort both in the mattress and temperature, and so on. These are simple and easily managed steps to recover sleep. If you still find you are tired, have a second quick burst of ambien and then go back to habit building without drugs.
