Is there a pill that helps with sleep anxiety?

You simply stop eating them, force yourself to flush them if you really need to

Can sleeping pills stop frequent urination at night?

I'm sorry but I had to delete and correct the previous answer that said this is definitely not true. Perhaps that answerer never read the label on a bottle of sleeping pills or knew a woman who suffers from frequent urination after taking them.

The truth is that sleeping pills CAN cause frequent urination. Be sure to read the labels because MANY over the counter sleeping pills cause frequent urination and if you're a male with an enlarged prostate, this can cause very serious discomfort. For example, a bottle of Unisom (and many other sleep aids) specifically states: Do not use if you have trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate. This warning would not be printed on the bottle if the manufacturer did not know that the pills would cause frequent urination.

Sleeping pills also increase the likelihood of women urinating more frequently because women tend to have smaller bladders than men and because of this biological fact, women need to urinate more frequently. If the user stops drinking fluids within 3 or 4 hours of bedtime (male or female) they may be able to tolerate sleeping pills however, even this is NO guarantee of relief from frequent urination when taking OTC sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills can cause absolute frustration for people who find themselves very drowsy and close to falling asleep but having to get up and go to the bathroom throughout the night. I've suffered through this many times over the years and prefer to use Ambien CR if I've had a couple of weeks of insomnia that didn't remedy itself.

So the answer to this question is yes, sleeping pills can cause frequent urination.

What causes a person to stop breathing in their sleep?

This could mean that a person has 'Sleep Apnea'. There are 2 types of Apnea: 1. The airway is obstructed. 2. Or, a person just stops breathing with no obstruction and is usually overweight. If a doctor suspects Sleep Apnea, they will refer the person to a sleep specialist.

How long can you go without sleeping before you die?

That depends,

There is some sort of a condition (very very rare), where the brain won't realease the chemicals needed to make you go to sleep, the result is fatal. (source: a Discovery channel documentary, the person in question went around 28 days without any sleep before dying.)

In a normal person it is very unlikely as the brain has its defense mechanisms, even if you try to keep yourself awake, with caffeine etc, everything will stop having effect.

Your brain will shut-down automaticaly to prevent permanent damage etc.

On your second week you should start to experience halicinations, this is probably due to the fact that your subconcious is slowly taking over and you see what would normally be dreams while awake.

As a side note: you will have to eat more and more to provide the energy needed to keep up the abnormal function (from personal experience). Also the odds are this does permanent damage to your body/mind/brain, i would sugest to avoid depriving yourself of sleep as much as possible.

How long can a human stay up?

Voluntarily, about a week I think is the record. But I did see this show on National Geographic once about a very rare sleeping disorder. The show told the story of a man, a high-school clarinet teacher, who gradually lost the ability to fall asleep. After about six sleepless months he finally lay down for a permanent rest, but not before such a lack of sleep deteriorated his body and spirit completely.

Can you buy Zopiclone over the counter?

Naturally induced sleep is the best kind and should be the first choice, if possible. If you need something to help you sleep there are over-the-counter (OTC) medications, but they should only be used temporarily. I would recommend melatonin and start with very low dosages because everybody is different. You might try just 1 mg; for many people that is enough.

Why would someone be tired all the time?

There is a secret fact that you should know.

Feeling tired much of the time (fatigue) is actually dangerous and is stealing your very life away from you as we speak.

If you're like most people you are finding it very difficult to maintain really good stable energy all day long. Let's face it, everyone has heard of the two a clock afternoon crash. Why is it such common knowledge and everyone has heard of it? Because its true!

It can be really hard to make it through the day much of the time if you're feeling fatigued. No one I know actually likes the feeling of crashing after lunch or waking up still tired in the morning or not having the energy they want to do something fun after work. But, this is exactly how most people go through their entire lives.

Then, when they just can't take it anymore they turn to the dreaded "so called" energy drinks. We all know those crazy (fry my adrenals in a can) caffeine and sugar time bombs don't really work. Well, of course they don't work, that's obvious. Because if they worked no one would be tired any more, right! Sure everyone knows they don't really work, but people are desperate!

You must have energy! Especially in today's job market where employers are handing out pink slips (your fired tickets) like they were candy. Think about it for a second. If you're the boss and you've got to let one person go. Who do you fire, the one who is Johnny on the spot, productive, smart and alert? Or the one who is always falling asleep at their computer and you have to wake them up every 15 minutes? I think we know who's getting the pink slip.

But it's much more than that. Your consistent energy drops and fatigue are not just affecting your work, your family life and your free time. They are also stealing away big chunks of your life.

We all live for experiences. We want to have time off, take vacations or just do things we really enjoy. Well Duh, of course we do. But did you ever ask the question of why we like these things?

The answer is we like to have experiences. We all want to experience new things, see new places explore new horizons. So, how are you going to do that when you are so tired you can barely keep your eyes open?

These experiences that so many people are missing out on are also our memories that we look back on with such fondness when we recount the events with friends or as we reminisce when we get older. These experiences and the memories of them represent a very big chunk of our life.

But facts are facts, without energy you will miss out on many if not most of the experiences you should have had in your life.

I don't know about you, but I'm not going to one day be old and look back at my life and wish I would have! I.E. wish I would have done this or wish I would have done that. The time for doing is NOW!

I understand exactly what you're going through. Why? Because not very long ago, it was me that I was really describing in those examples above. But all of that changed, literally overnight when I found the top ten ways to increase my energy.

There are actually more than ten ways to dramatically increase your daytime energy that I used from their free report, but below I will go over 2 of them for you.

1. This sounds stupid, kind of like a big Duh moment but: Drink More Water. Most people don't know this but over 75% of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration. And, dehydration is the number one cause of daytime energy loss or fatigue.

The method they talk about is that you fill up a certain size container of water in the morning and then be sure that you have drunk it all during the day before you go to bed. The key is that you should never actually get thirsty. Why? Because being thirsty is your bodies way of telling you that your already dehydrated.

2. This second one is also kind of a another Duh moment, but the truth is almost always pretty simple. Eat 5 to 6 small meals per day. Yes I know, that is what you hear all of the weight loss coaches harping on all of the time too. Well, as it turns out, the number one secret to weight loss is also one of the secrets to having all the energy you want as well.

The reason it works is that when you eat small meals a lot more often you keep both insulin and your blood sugar levels stable. It's nearly impossible to have constant free flowing energy all day long if your blood sugar is always high or low.

When you put these tricks into action and then combine them with the other 9 ways to up your energy what you have is a super simple way to finally get your life back.

I know this, because it worked for me too. One of things I must admit that I loved the most out of all this is, the whole thing was free.

Is it okay to take a bath even if you only have 2 hours of sleep at night?

What this question implies is that warm water can induce sleep, and the fear that a person could drown if they fall asleep in the tub. This would be more of a concern for children--who should be supervised anyway when taking a bath. If a teen or adult fears they could fall asleep in the tub, the logical solution would be to have an adult check on you after 15-20 minutes. A second solution is to sit up, not lay back in the tub, and to just wash and get out, rather than enjoying a soak while there.

Other than these concerns and solutions given, there is no reason that lack of sleep should prohibit tub bathing.

Is it risky to take contraceptive pills after terminating a pregnancy 4 times and how can you know how much potential you have to conceive again in the future and what is a mild birth control pill?

Perhaps you should consider an alternative form of contraception such as the shot as you are clearly not very good at taking the pill. Visit your local Planned Parenthood or other Family Planning Center and discuss your options. It is not the pill which is harming you, but the repeated terminations.

Why are you sleeping more than usual?

Some people need much more sleep than others, so it may be nothing more than that. It is interesting that the best quality sleep is had before midnight, so the more you sleep before then may reduce the total amount needed. The deciding factor is if you feel refreshed after sleeping for a long time. If not, depression may be a cause as excessive sleeping is one of the symptoms but the person remains fatigued. This can be effectively treated these days, so if you think this is the problem, see a doctor. Remember, clinical depression does not always involve feeling sad, so many people don't realize they have it.

There are at least two answers. The first is that you don't know. The loss of your conscious experience is part of what it is to be asleep. The second answer: There are such things as 'lucid dreams', sometimes called 'high' dreams. Most people have had at least one experience of this. It is when you are dreaming, and you become fully aware that you are, in fact, acting out a dream. It is a very interesting experience, and some people have developed some degree of skill doing it.
