My Review of SleepMD

I’ve written before about how much trouble I have sleeping some nights. Tonight is one of those nights. I was in bed by midnight and wide awake by 12:30am. It is now 1:46am and I’m a bit frustrated. A product called SleepMD was recommended to me not long ago so I bought some to try. I’ve tried sleeping pills before and hated them. I don’t know if I slept much better or not but I felt so groggy the next day that I never went back to taking them. These other pills, SleepMD, are supposedly all-natural, safe, and all that good stuff. So, I tried one for the first time one night last week. I was wide awake an hour after I went to sleep and it took me two hours after that to get back to sleep. Even though I did not get much sleep that night, I did feel quite a bit more refreshed the next morning. Again, I took one tonight and here I am awake in the middle of the night.

Here’s what the SleepMD box promises:

1. Fall Asleep Faster (check)
2. Wake Up Refreshed (check)
3. Sleep Better (the jury is still out on this one)
4. Sleep Longer (not really)
5. Promotes Healthy Sleep Patterns (I don’t think so)

I really believe my biggest problem is not the body, but the brain. I cannot shut my brain off. In fact, the only times I really have gotten great sleep is when I allow myself to get completely exhausted before I go to bed. The problem with this practice is that I end up staying up most of the night and sleeping half of the next day away. I cannot afford to do that. While I really can work anytime of the day or night, others who call me and need me are working during the day. I do not want to put them all off until the afternoon. I don’t know. This is just very frustrating to me so I’m writing and thinking out loud all at once.

When it’s warm out, a nice long walk before bed always does the trick but it is way too cold for that right now. Othertimes, which I might do here in a minute, I take a drive. I hate wasting the gas but I hate staying awake all night even worse.
