That Ambien rocks. Although I was awake at 4:30 or so, but at least I slept the entire rest of the night, without moving. And I had a great run this morning, no major aches or pains. I felt really strong and ran faster than my group, continually looping back to them. Next marathon I'll work more on a bit more speed, but this time I am very happy to finish it.
As far as sleep aides, I've tried Benadryl and Tylenol PM, but those sometimes backfire with me. They are also antihistamines, and I hate that feeling of dehydrated before I even start. They also alter my heart rate a bit. I'm hoping that the hormone adjustment will fix it, but I know it will take a little time to get it right (I take compounded hormones so they can adjust the levels). All I know is I slept great last night and woke up perky. No hangover for me. I'm going to make sure I take a few Ambien with me to Chicago, just in case. Woohoo!!
I got my confirmation ticket too. It was quite exciting. I considered putting it in the safe until time to leave, it was that important. I'm looking forward to another strong run tomorrow, followed by a very strong rest day. See you all Saturday, after the sun comes up.

I am a firm believer in Ambien! It's amazing. . .the feeling of a good night's sleep without the feeling of being hungover!

So glad the Ambien helped...my husband swears by it. Isn't it exciting to get that confirm pkg. I started to put it in my purse so I would not lose it and then I thought...what if someone snatches my purse...can't take that chance. A safe sounds like a great idea!

Wouldn't it be terrible if someone STOLE your confirmation number and RAN the race for you!
;-D

BTW, I occasionally use Lunesta for sleep. Works great also with no hangover.
I'm glad the Ambien worked for you! I usually take a tiny dose of Benadryl if I remember early enough but have taken Ambien on occasion and it works fast and well! The Lunesta doesn't even put me to sleep.
