Answer 1

Try this:
The idea is to tone down mind and body activities hours before sleep so you will get to sleep easier...
Some useful steps:
1. Drink less coffee, tea or any other drinks that contain caffeine, especially after later part of afternoon.
2. Try going to bed at the same time every night.
3. Avoid alcoholic drinks after evening time as alcoholic drinks may cause early morning wakefulness and may wake you up after your sleep.
4. Ensure your sleeping environment is suitable for sleeping (not too noisy, not too bright, not too cold, bed not uncomfortable)
5. Avoid heavy meals hours prior to sleep.
6. Stop all mind-stimulating activities 1 hour before going to bed (activities like reading research papers, reading mystery solving books, doing your school work, solving a complicated Maths question, watching your computer, watching TV, etc)
7. Half an hour before bed, take a warm bath. Then drink a cup of WARM milk.
8. As you lie on bed, take a deep breath and as you breath out, slowly, imagine you have abandoned your body. Imagine that your body slowly 'sinks' into your bed and become 'blended' into the bed. As you are imagining, take another deep breath and count 1. * As you breath out, slowly, now imagine your body is like water ripples spreading out, slowly. Take deep breath again and count 2 and repeat the process (from the place i marked with a *). Start counting from 1 again when you reach 9 or any number you prefer...

Answer 2

Ever since I started an exercise routine, I have been sleeping better than ever. What kind of work do you do? If you are a student or an office worker you should definitely think about exercise. Routine is also good. Do you get up in the morning and go to bed the same time every night?

Answer 3

I've personally tried benadryl and ambien to treat my occasional insomnia(which I have tonight), neither of which helps.

The only thing that ever helps me sleep is nyquil(or a store brand of the same thing). It knocks me out cold for 8 hours. I usually take twice the normal amount that you would take for a cold.

Good luck and please know that there are a lot of people out there battling the same problem so we understand what you're going through.

Answer 4

I have had trouble with this for years and the only thing that I found that works for me is to do something strenuous before bed and make myself tired. I usually jog or do sit-ups anything to make your body tired.

Answer 5

Lay down on your back, and clap the inside balls of your feet together. Might hurt at first, but you'll get used to it, and it's good for circulation.

Answer 6

food; your evolutionary body is hungry, so it provides you with energy to search for food. beef is best; that is the diet of the king of the jungle; but you can probably obtain a sleep benefit from any sufficient quantity of food.

Answer 7

Have a sleep study! There could be something else there causing you to not maintain sleep.

Answer 8

Answer 9
