getting to sleep...?

Question

i am having trouble getting to sleep... any ideas on how to solve this problem?

btw - counting sheep just isn't cutting the mustard!

nothing really stressing out or anything or depressed etc... i am pregnant so it maybe related to that? just finding getting to sleep really difficult!

as i am pregnant i am not keen on pills... would rather a more natural remedy!

Answer 1

Stay away from caffeine or heavy sugars 6 hours pre-bedtime, don't eat within 2 hours of going to bed and try to lower stress levels as much as possible.

Answer 2

Dont drink/eat anything with caffeine in it (coffee,tea, chocolates)
after 3 pm,have a warm bath just b4 bed & if u have a partner
have some good sex (my wife tells me that helped her when she was pregnant).
A natural relaxer is valerian.
good luck.

Answer 3

First, ask your physician. That's a normal problem with pregnancy. I found some sites to help your natural remedies request. Hope one of them will have info to help you be more comfortable.
