I need new ones, but wow, the one here in our area is a hike and a half away. in addition to them being supportive, they are also hypo-allergenic -- a good thing, in my case. no down for me. btw, if your neck is bugging you, one of my next-door neighbors is a chiropractor.... “Now, now.

as for pillows — I highly recommend the ones at ikea. that’s right, ikea. I’m of swedish descent, but I hate most of what’s in ikea — except for their pillows. I bought some there four years ago and they rock. well, they rockED. I need new ones, but wow, the one here in our area is a hike and a half away. in addition to them being supportive, they are also hypo-allergenic — a good thing, in my case. no down for me.

btw, if your neck is bugging you, one of my next-door neighbors is a chiropractor….

I also take Melatonin if Calms isn't helping. Oh and I ride my bike trainer for 1/2 hour before bed too. Take a nice hot shower and the next thing you know.... zzzzzzzzz.... You are so funny, Susan. That is what drew me here in the first place. It sounds like things are going along wonderfully. I'm so happy to see you so happy!! And yeah, the ex used to fall asleep that quickly too. Ticked me off every night. Of course you know I agree with Liz and the Calms Forte. I also take Melatonin if Calms isn’t helping. Oh and I ride my bike trainer for 1/2 hour before bed too.

That's a lot of stuff to catch up on. Glad life is going so well and *normal* for you! I sleep with four down pillows - three when I have a guest. ;) I took ambein a few times. LOVED it. It made drool and that's some good sleep! Wow. That’s a lot of stuff to catch up on.

If you're looking for sleep aids, here are three that work for me: 1. Calm's Forte (a "homeopathic" thing. pretty harmless, seems to work most of the time) 2. Benedryl (the active ingredient in Tylenol PM - effective, but sometimes I get a Benedryl hangover. Mr B can't take it because it wires him up. YMMV) 3. Melatonin (the first time I took this, I fell asleep so fast it was as if I had been clubbed! I use it sparingly.) Thinking happy planning thoughts for you!
