is there a genuine cure 4 insomnia?

Answer 1

No, there isn't. There are lots of old wives tales but if any of them work for you, go with them.
There's 3 kinds of insomnia; where you have trouble getting to sleep, where you have disturbed sleep and are woken easily and can't drop off again, and where you wake up too early.
The first is the most usual. Remedies include a hot toddy, a warm bath, a warm milky drink, not going to bed too early and not going before you're really tired, reading. Some people swear by Quiet Life tablets, others use antu-histamines or Nytol because they make you drowsy.
If you wake too early go to the loo, try not to wake yourself up, if you feel thirsty just have a mouthful of water from the tap then go back to bed and lie down for 20 minutes. Chances are you'll drop off again.
Insomnia is probably triggered or made worse by stress and anxieties. If you can deal with that it'll probably sort itself out over time.

Answer 2

This is going to sound so stupid, but I'll tell you what worked for me:

I had severe insomnia for about 6-7 months, to the point where I had literally forgotten how to "fall asleep". Finally, I went to a psychologist (which didn't help) until she hypnotized me. It helped me to remember how to relax my body and mind, and sleep again. It was still a bit of an effort for a while, and I still have some problems every now and again, but overall it worked wonders. Assuming you do not have insomnia due to some physical condition, this may be the answer for you. Good luck!

Answer 3

I had an insomnia problem for about 3 months, and this site helped me a TINY bit.

But mine just went away on it's own.

And, hey, don't you people realize that INSOMNIA is NOT being able to sleep?

Answer 4

Not really. If you want you can take sedatives, try warm milk, establishing a bedtime routine, only sleeping in your bed, not doing anything else, taking a warm bath, aromatherapy, massage, alcohol, regular exercise well before bedtime, giving up caffeine, establishing a healthy diet, cutting back on sugar, meditation, reading boring books, and eventually bashing your head against the wall. I have suffered from this problem for years now - just can't get to sleep, and nothing has really helped. Good luck - maybe something will work for you where it hasn't for me! :)

Answer 5

The easiest cure for insomnia is excercize not only for the body but the mind as well. You'd be amazed at how solving puzzles or experiencing new things will exhaust you.

Don't allow your mind and body to get in a rut.

Answer 7

Wishing every body a good nights sleep, helped me. It has to be a genuine wish because you are not going to get a good nights sleep you make a real wish that all other people get the best nights sleep they ever had.

Why it works is you stop trying to sleep and allow your mind to think of the best nights sleep it has ever had. Then take the pressure from yourself by giving it to others.

you are changing your view point and making your self relaxed.
If you do not sleep. Then be grateful all other people had a good nights sleep.

Again you are relaxing and wishing the best for others and your self. changing your way you think about sleep.. enjoy

Answer 8

There is medication for it such as ambien and lunesta. A few little tips to not go those routes are not watching tv in bed. Getting on a regualr sleep schedule. Deep breathing right when you lay down and a comfortable matress. The prescription pills work. They can be habit forming though.

Answer 9

I'm an insomniac, and i have some friends that used to be, you can grow out of it.
Sometimes pills can help, but save that as a last resort.
A psychiatrist may help, if not to cure it, perhaps to determine the cause.

Answer 10

Stop posting silly questions to Yahoo, and get an early night! Surely just relaxing in bed will help won't it? Failing which, I suggest you put all that spare time to good use. Learn a new language or skill or something. God, most of us would be grateful of all that extra time!
