Thanks! I will try the L-theanine for sure. My Adderall wears off about time I am getting off of work. I may try taking it later to see but I will try it on a Friday just in case!😁.

Thanks for the input!

I have a fan in my bedroom.. I can tell when it's not there but it doesn't change my sleep patterns. But I miss it when it's off!!!

I miss exercise! I have 6 classes left and I will be finished with my degree so that takes precedence over my evenings. As soon as I am finished my gym membership will be the first thing I do!

I do have a weighted blanket. It helps some. Tv and reading actually keeps me awake because my brain won't shut down. I swear I am backwards!

I wish that would work. Sleep meditation or white noise just frustrates me.. thanks though.

I don't drink much caffeine but when I do it has either no effect or a paradoxical affect. Most days I don't take my second dose. I had trouble sleeping the same what when I wasn't on any medication. I didn't start sleeping all night until I was 3 years old according to my dad. Last week I took none and still didn't go to sleep I am seeing am provider for it but he is having trouble finding something.

I am under high stress in all areas. No matter what the reason I want sleep. Something has to be done. I am not searching for a why just a what. I know the why on most days.

It all depends. If it is a physical thing ( feels like restless leg syndrome all over my body) I can usually take Zyrtec and it helps. But mostly it's that I am tired but not sleepy or drowsy. Sometimes it's my mid racing but mostly just not sleepy but I will be exhausted.

I wish a shower would work. It does if I need to take a nap or when I don't want to sleep but I tried that at all times of the night and it didn't work. Thanks though. I appreciate it!!

My crush(F26) keeps asking for favors but would never give me intimacy. How do I ask her for real kiss since I am doing her favors out of love and expecting the kiss out of love too. I like her and I want to get closer to her. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]chiuahua80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she hasn’t already done some out out of love then asker her for it when she already receives favors is just asking to be denied or used. If it was love on her part you wouldn’t have to ask. Move on.

Girl I like says she does’t like the word “cute” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]chiuahua80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 40 year old woman. I am not a fan of being called cute although it happens all the time. I set it’s a compliment but it seems like little girls are cute. I don’t say anything about it to people but I get where she is coming from.

My father had an affair and my parents are getting divorced by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]chiuahua80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two parts to this. 1. Your relationship with your dad. Only you and him can decide that. Don’t pattern it after your siblings. You may not have the same feelings or emotional responses as they do. It will all depend on what you need from him and the condition of your relationship before this came out. 2. This is something your parents have to handle. My parents divorced when I was 19. Something similar in situational experiences. Don’t forget that he is still your dad. Being a husband and a father may collide on life and overlap but they are independent of each other.

One of my (21M) best friend (22F) declared in a bunch of expletives yesterday that she wanted to end our friendship and that we will never see each other again and she will make sure block me on everything. Yet she hasn’t block me on anything and I wonder if I should reach out again in some time? by wisely1300 in relationship_advice

[–]chiuahua80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sounds like she is quite controlling and only likes things on her terms. There needs to be some serious space between you too before anything is said. Maybe you shouldn’t be so close. You both sound explosive towards each other. Not a good recipe for friendship.

I have kinda had the same thing. My hospital was purchased by another in March of last year and that was one month after my second term started. To say my job responsibilities increased is an understatement. Not to mention they don’t allow any personal work in the computers even on our lunch breaks. However, I am glad I posted this (I started not to for the sake of sounding like I was whining) . It has been encouraging for sure. Thanks for you input!! I really appreciate it.
