I often don't like to go to bed too early, and I don't really like the concept of sleep early and wake up early. In fact I really hate that concept. I always stay up playing video games and doing all sort of things. I often go to bed at about 3:00 am, is there any tips on how to go to bed at earlier time?

go ahead without any judgement. And for those people who are more bolder you can tell your stories.

My sister and I have been smoking a long time. We have both tried many things to stop. My dad just died from a lung disease and never smoked in his life. So we are finally trying hypnosis in a few weeks. Has anyone done this and had it be successful? We are not doing the hotel seminars, we are going to a certified hypnotist, one on one.. looking for all opinions out there.

I might have colon cancer. I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm really nervous and worried. I have been having a lot of bleeding. I have been doing the prep and it's coming out clear liquid and blood so I guess the prep worked? How bad will the procedure hurt? The doctor said I won't be put to sleep for the procedure and I'll be given a sedative, but no pain meds. He said I won't need them. That worries me too.

I don't think I'm related to either of my parents but I don't want to hurt their feelings and ask for a blood test. Is there any other way of finding out for sure..maybe a spit test..or what else

I've always had trouble sleeping... probably since highschool and it got really bad when I was in college. I was averaging 0-3 hours a night and the longest I could sleep was about 5-6 hours. That was 2 years ago but I still have trouble falling asleep at night. Ususally I lay there thinking about imaginary situtations and I find myself not being able to sleep.

Does that happen to anyone else?

Sometimes if I know I have a lot of work the next day, I take tylenol PM but not for more than three nights in a roll. I've tried the sheep counting and the raising your arms above your body thing (I read somewhere about that) but they dont work for me.

Any suggestion on what I can do that doesnt involve meds, drinking warm anything before bed, or dipping myself in warm liquids?

Actually if you can relate to my problem that would be something nice to read as well. Thanks =]

And I know to put the fingers- two finger widths apart- up from the wrist. But what else? What pressure? Do we push in with our finger tips?

How do we take our own pulse for more than 15 secs or so?

my doctor told me, since i'm near sighted, that when i wear my glasses my eyes get worse. he said it was okay, because i could just come back the next year and get stronger lenses. he said if i dont wear them anymore they wont get any worse. my friend says thats not true. she said they dont get worse when you wear your glasses and that they just get worse over time anyway. any opinions?

I am constantly tired, and I never feel like I rest at night. I just feel like I sleep and that's it. I have basicly no energy. I'm sure that I'm overweight. I am 6ft3in tall and weight 320lbs. I have tried various herbs like melatonin, valerian root, and passion flower. They do help me to fall asleep easier, but don't help me to feel rested after sleeping. I have had my thyroid and blood count tested, and both are normal. I do not know what else to try, and I am extremely frustrated. Any good ideas???I don't think that hypnosis would work on me, unless I was partially drugged first. Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, for the past 2 days I have been feeling more tired than usual, and yesterday I started feeling slightly congested. Today I'm feeling a bit more congested and I know that a full blown cold is around the corner, what are some things I can do to fight it off?? I tend to get colds that stick around for a couple weeks, and I'm starting school on Tuesday and I can not be sick then!! Anyone have any suggestions for immune boosters or anything that can fight this off?? Thank you!

Now I'm starting to sleep a better, do you think there is a possibility that my bags could still go away after 3 months? The bags only developed when I stopped getting sleep and I drink a lot of water daily. Also you could give me some suggestions on getting rid of them, thanks!

I work on a computer at work which strains my eyes. I do take my breaks etc..BUT my lens wear out way too fast. I wear Acuvue 2 (2 week ones) and I use Renu cleanser. I wear the lens approximately 10 - 12 hours a day. Is that way too long? My lens wear or rip in about a week maybe a couple days longer. Are there certain cleansers that work better or am I wearing those suckers too long? I use eye drops too by the way. Thanks!
