Can't sleep very well?

Question

I've moved my bed from my regular room (master bed room) into my own room, but now I have trouble sleeping.

I will sleep for about one hour, wake up and think it's 5:00AM and get up and realize it is only like 12:00AM.

Last night I got up at 2:30 AM and used the computer until around 4:30, I was lying in bed for a while before getting up (which seemed like forever).

I also did that tonight, because I'm having trouble sleeping.

I think I can't sleep very well because I'm not used to this room, it's really bugging me.

I'm also not comfortable in my bed, because I'm sleeping on a hard futon-mattress, which is a bit stiff.

Any ideas on how I can get more sleep at night and stop waking up?

(I moved due to limited space)

Thanks for the suggestions and help guys, I'll try that :D

Answer 1

What often looks like a mere physical problem turns out to be a mental issue. If something has happened recently to disturb your mind, you must address that seriously on priority rather than blame it all on change of bed, mattress, etc. Curiously, even complex mental problems get sorted out by silly physical changes .... so try change your mattress as well.

Answer 2

Any change in environment will upset your sleep patterns for a while. But try some of these things to help you get a better sleep:

- Fresh air aids sleep, so leave the window open a little.
- Milk is a natural aid to sleep. Calcium and amino acid tryptophan in milk help the body relax. Have a glass before bed.
- Caffeine can stay in your body for 6-12 hrs. Lay off the coffee after lunchtime.
- Have a warm bath before bedtime.
- Try reading for an hour before bed.
- Lavender has natural relaxing properties. Sprinkle some lavender drops into your bath and on your pillow.
- Have your feet massaged. You can do this yourself by rolling a tennis ball around with your foot.
- Try a relaxation tape or soft, gentle music.

Answer 3

Try using a different mattress. One thats more comfortable for you.
