PersonFromPorlock: Jan 27, 2019; That's true!

I sleep very, very, poorly, and I have done so since middle school, and to a lesser extent, always. I've gone through every gentle sedative (tricyclic antidepressants, melatonin, etc.) and they do nothing at all. Absent powerful hypnotics, I rarely sleep more than an half an hour at a time, if at all, and almost never at night. It's not infrequent that I got two or three days without sleep. It make functioning normally during the day next day impossible. I sleepwalk dangerously on Z-drugs. Since I broke my leg once of Ambien, I refuse to take Z-drugs anymore. Chloral hydrate works, but I'm deathly afraid of it. The difference between a therapeutic dose and a lethal does is dangerously narrow. When I absolutely need to be awake in the morning, I take a substantial does of phenobarbital the preceding evening. Keeps me asleep for a good nine hours and I'm not too terribly groggy in the morning. I don't using anything stronger than phenobarbital -- Seconal scares me, too. I'm not afraid death, but the therapeutic index too narrow for me.
