What can I do to sleep?

Question

My mind is constantly racing and I seem to have the best ideas and inspiration before I go to bed, and when I wake up I am constantly tired because I've stayed up late. How can I break the cycle effectively? It is so frustrating and I know it is going to affect my performance at work.

Answer 1

Do the following and you will fall asleep in no time.

Lie down on your back with both your arms to your side kept limp and close your eyes.

Take a deep breath...Do this 3 times.

From the 4th breath onwards,breathe normally..no deep inhalation,ok?

Now start counting backwards from 100 onwards...Remember,you will make the count at each exhalation and not inhalation. Tell yourself some number,any number will do and that you will fall asleep before you reach that number. But be realistic and give urself some number like say,50 or 35..

You will fall asleep before you reach that number. In fact,you will not even remember at which number you stopped before you fell asleep.

Try it and let me know if it helps. This is what I do when am unable to get sleep.

Answer 2

If I think in positive, you can start writing down all your ideas and inspiration which can be a book of inspiration some days later, any way take a walk or jog for at least 30 minutes before going to bed then take shower with warm water take a cup of milk or mango juice and then go to to sleep..

Try establishing a wind-down pattern where you slowly relax in the hours before bed. Maybe drink somethin hot (without caffeine) and abstain from excessively stimulating activities like watching TV that might get your mind racing. Maybe you should ask a Dr. about a prescription sleep aid.

OK, you wish to sleep or keep up? Cause you assert each. Your consuming, so that it will placed you to sleep, and relying how so much you will have had, additionally make you too impared to force in a couple of hours. Be cautious.

Answer 5

1st off...do not watch TV or do anything on your computer at night. Being overly stimulated causes the mind sometimes not to turn off.

Do some form of exercise that requires endurance, example: jogging, running, bicyling, aerobics....take a nice hot shower...or sit in the hot tub for 15 minutes...

Grab a glass of milk....2 tylenol PMS.....and go to BED....RELAX...

Answer 6

Well,if you think that's the best time you can work out things then do it at that very moment...you can sleep happily after the work is done..don't you think so..Swami Vivekananda used to sleep for just 4 hours..i hope you know him..if you don't, no worry..do your job and then sleep..peacefully...

Answer 7

try getting up at the same hour every morning even weekends, also you could see a doctor, maybe something he or she can do. you can try to tire yourself out like good sex with a partner or just have it with yourself which if you dont have a steady partner would be the best and safest way to go.
