Night Eating & Hot Protein
I too sufferer from insomnia. I have restless leg syndrome as well. I take Klonopin at night time for anxiety/panic disorder and it's supposed to help with the rls. I have since started taking a prescription sleeping aid Restoril and it works great. My fuzzy feeling in the morning at all. I don't always sleep through the night, but mostly I do. I can only take it 4 - 5 times a week according to my doctor. I think I might try the Tylenol PM or the Benadryl as some of you mentioned. It's good to have other options. Sometimes when I wake up I am at a loss of what to do. I take a muscle relaxer and try to fall asleep in the recliner. It totally sucks!
Take 1/2 your ambien when you g o to bed (the put to sleep aprt can be just a speck) and take part II when you wake up. Most of us only get about 4 hrs out of it.
I use IDS vanilla cinnamon + Pure Whey Stack choco + about 10 oz of ho****er (mine is from Insta Hot) + a shake of cinnamon + calcium. Gives me 30g protein.
Water can be "coffee pot hot" or about 160 deg. If you nuke, nuke only the water, not the protein.
Try just a spoonful of protein first and if it separates, that was too hot!
