anyone exhausted?

I am not really sleeping because I am so uncomfortable but I am sitting at my desk right now just trying to keep my eyes open.
Anyone have any tips for getting a good nights sleep? I miss the nights of being able to take tylenol PM if I was wide awake at 2am.
Thank goodness is almost Friday!

Re: anyone exhausted?
Um yes, my boss commented several times on Monday about how slow I was moving! It was just impossible to get going that afternoon.
My doctor also said a benadryl or even a glass of red wine. I have not gone enough days without sleeping to try it but if I get tired enough, I will have to.
Hope sleep comes to you soon.. or at least tonight!
Same here. I've found it helps me to go back to sleep (after getting up to potty) moreso than to go to sleep.
Yes!!!! Sleep does not come easy these day!!
I take a benadryl if I have gone a couple days!!!
Hope you get some sleep soon!
The Unisom did not help me much. It sounds goofy but it really works, warm milk with a shot of either vanilla or pumpkin flavor. I still get up but not as much.
Me too. I have even curled up and napped on my office floor at lunch time I am so tired. I don't know how I can make it 6 more weeks, especially working full time.
LOL, I wish I could nap on my office floor, but the carpet is 20 years old! I also second the thought on making it 6 (or more!) weeks. Today I had to put out two work fires (one involving re-printing an entire book by Friday evening) while on a national conference call and then deal with my mom checking in all at the same time. Miraculously, everything is fine right now, but I am so exhausted I want to drop. And when it comes time to sleep, who knows if I'll actually drift off or not!
But when it comes to the OP question: Tylenol PM is wonderful! My Dr. wholeheartedly recommends it, especially since I am still working full time and need rest.

My iron was low on my last round of bloodwork, so I started taking iron pills. For the post part it helps and I noticed how much more energy I have. Some nights I sleep really terrible and feel it the next day. I went to bed a bit earlier last night and feel so much better today. I still work 2 jobs and as a favour I picked up a shift for my manager to help out, so I was a bit more drained than normal at the beginning of the week.
