Answer 2

Hi, Andy!

I've had insomnia for a LONG time. I've tried everything you can name: relaxation therapy; hot baths; a glass of red wine; massage; wearing myself out with exercise during the day; visualization therapy, and so on. I finally tried hitting myself over the head with a cast iron skillet to help me sleep (ok, I'm kidding about that one).

I've been taking Ambien for 4 months, and it's the only thing that has ever helped me. I hope you can find something short of that that will help you; some people say a small protein snack is useful.

There's always the skillet!

Good luck!

Warm tea/milk ...
Soothing showers/bath
Vigerous exercise before
Watching porn ... and .. well , yeah .
Or just reading a boring book .

My dad always falls asleep while watching TV . Maybe that would work for you ?

If none of this advice helps , I'd recommend to ask your doctor .

Answer 4

I have been in your situation, even including the same wake-up hour, for 5 years. I've found that eating light before going to bed, stopping any kind of work at least 30 min. before going to bed, warm baths and trying to go to bed every day at the same hour help a lot.

Answer 5

I usually keep a bottle of nyquil around incase that happens to me. But only take the recommended dose if you had a cold or the flu

Answer 6

if while you are trying to sleep, you are thinking of concerns or of things you have to do, leave your bedroom and write them down. put them in a drawer that is not in your room and go back to sleep. i went to sleep study and learned alot. this is just one of many things you can do. andrew had some good suggestions. best to you
