How to Adjust to a New Sleep Medication

Disclaimer: Adjustment Daisy style does not replace or even supplement real medical advice. This adjustment addresses the woozy feeling in the morning, sometimes called the Hangover Effect.

• Have coffee with a friend. The coffee will infuse caffeine; the conversation will be enlightening.
• Snuggle a blanket. This acknowledges the desire to sleep again while not giving in completely to the call of the pillows.
• Put pots and trays of seedlings outside. Between the sun and the cool temperatures, nature helps wake up the soul.
• Blog. But be careful; proofread later when feeling less loopy.
• Feed and pet a rabbit. This is a valid strategy for almost any condition. Rabbits are magical.
• Watch the weather channel or CNN, depending on the mood.
• Avoid game shows on TV. The over-animated applause and the bells & whistles are annoying and all too often generate headaches.
• Contemplate changing timing of taking medication at night to allow for successful awakening in the morning.
