Dear Diary: Sleeping Is Not A Problem For Me Anymore
I thank God that I am for one thing being able to sleep without any sleeping aid anymore besides Gabapentin which I am taking for my pain alleviation.
In the past I used to go and ask my doctor to prescribe me some sleeping pills. I learned for a fact that sleeping pills doesn't give a patient a normal and restful sleep but it just makes the brain go blank.
There was one instance that when I was still under the effects of sleeping pills I tried to go and ride my bike for our cellphone reloading business. I did not go far when I feel on my bike like a rock and injured myself in the process with scratches.
Luckily I feel near my relative and they took care of my scratches then I went on again on my way. Fortunately I have arrived in my destination and back home again without falling again.
Right then and there I realized that sleeping pills are not a lasting solution to sleep problems but rather to solve the root cause which is the anemia.
But now I am not anemic anymore and sleep for me is also not a issue. But another relatively new problem rose up and that is the joint pains that I am fighting with all what I have. I just pray to God to help me once again because it is a hell on earth of a situation this is and it is a constant misery that affects not only me but also my family, God help me.
I remember one time I was prescribed some ambien. I only took one pill. I konked out like a light and then woke up. I experienced no passage of time! It was kind of scary. Like surgery sleep.
I never took it again, but I had night terrors for over a year. It was awful!
Yes it just blanks the brain and doesn't give an REM sleep.
