help getting to sleep when you aren't tired

Without actually taking something, would possibly eating a heavy meal make you sleepy? I know if I eat something heavy, within 30 minutes I'm dog tired

 

Eat a half gallon of ice cream, in short order !

I'm Beat !!!!!

 

1) stay away from ALL caffeinated beverages, even "iced tea", and some sodas have ingredients that can interfere with sleep.

2) stay away from chocolate and other candies as the sugar can interfere.


3) walk around your truck several times, at a slow pace, or do some minor calisthenics in the cab.

4) drown out ALL noises in the truck best as you can. wear eye blinders (whatever they are called), were ear plugs.

5) have the truck idling at a steady RPM to lessen the shaking it does (if you need the a/c)

from my past, NyQuil will make you drowsy, but no guarantee it'll make you fall asleep.

i would really stay away from any thing else, although i "heard" melatonin helps with sleep, it can be found in most vitamin isles at the stores. i personally have not tried this.

 

Tylenol PM or Sominex

 

i have tried meletonin years ago---i dont think it helped get to slep ---but it sure gave me whacked out dreams
legally not sure what would help you out--i used to get the same problem on a dedicated route---maybe a nice long walk or jog???

 

Ambiem also called zolpidem,don't know if it's allowed for drivers but it has no hangover effect like nytol.Knocks me out like a freight train,only take one third of a pill,and only if I toss and turn first.I don't drive a truck commercially by the way so don't jump on me if it's banned.

 

go chase your chickens around for awhile--that will tire you out

 

Melatonin. Available anywhere.
