Answer 4

Hiya. My suggestion would be to work out first what it is that is stopping you sleeping. Is it worry, stress, unsettled mind etc.

Once you have worked out whether that is the case you need a 'dealing with it' mechanism.

For example supposing it is work thats bothering you. One way to stop thinking about it and fretting over it is to write a list of everything you need to do at work the next day before you go to bed. You will then not worry about all of the stuff you have to tackle at work the following day.

Similarly with a personal problem or dilemma - write it down on paper and list next to it possible solutions - before you go to bed. This will then allow the mind to tackle this dilemma before you go to bed and whilst the problem may well still exist, the mind recognises that you are dealing with it from your listing actions, so it probably won't impact on your sleep so much.

Are you feeling under the weather? If so would a trip to the Docs help stop that being a bit of a sub conscious worry?

Lastly my top tip for getting to sleep:-

Think of something very peaceful and serene and see yourself there in your imagination. Like for example a beautiful blue sea, a lovely sandy beach, you lying on the sunlounger with a very long drink in your hand in a state of happiness and bliss.

Listen to the gentle lapping of the water and dream of contentment and peacefulness.

Whenever you find yourself thinking of other intrusive thoughts, it doesn't matter at all, because when that happens recognise it and rethink of lying on the lounger.

In fact keep coming back to the lounger and in your imagination see yourself and feel yourself lying on the lounger and drifting in to a lovely, blissfull, dreamy sleep - keep coming back to the image of yourself blissfully asleep on the lounger.

If you practice this night after night, you get better and better at holding the thought for longer and longer.

Finally the sleep you imagine takes over and you are asleep on the lounger and really asleep dreaming of being asleep. (asleep in both worlds, the imaginary world of your beach and the physical world of your bedroom)

Try it - you will be very pleasantly surprised how this works - and it is a lovely way to get to sleep.

Answer 5

Inabilaty to rest and sleep is normally accosiatied with stress and worrying about daytime events.
Try to detactch yourself in the evening. Canomile tea, warm milky drinks with a bit of honey, vitamin B6 supplements, light comedy DVDs all help.
Don't forget, leave your worries behind in the night time. Tackle any problems tomorrow.....tomorrow.

Answer 6

Try reading a little before you go to bed. If you can't sleep, getting up and walking around for a couple minutes helps sometimes. Try to stick with the same routine before bed.

Try to avoid sleeping pills, they deprive you of the most important part of your sleep, REM sleep.

Answer 7

Take benadryl or dramamine. Benadryl should not be in excessive amounts. 25-50 mg. It's also in Tylenol pm and other sleep aides so be careful.. But definitely talk to your doctor if it continues. sometimes can be hormone related and even a symptom of diabetes.

Answer 8

take a examine out your caffiene intake during the day. while you're eating something with caffiene after approximately 3pm, end doing that. The PM soreness meds have one style of lively ingredient, the over-the-counter sleep aids have a various one which won't leave you so groggy. Melatonin is broadly used as a snooze help and the majority locate themselves refreshed day after today, yet because of the fact that's a hormonal component some human beings do no longer think of that's this sort of large thought and that i ended taking melatonin while i spotted my pills have been given blotchy looking after a pair of months, creeped me out. My modern sleep aids of the final decade or so is relax, a product positioned out by way of Rainbow gentle in Santa Cruz, California, that's an organic extract mixture obtainable at wellness nutrition shops. the different one i myself use much extra at present is Kava extract. i like the extract formulations because of the fact i will use in basic terms as much as desire. I even have in no way been groggy from the two of those organic aids, yet I in no way dose myself very heavily. Kava might additionally be obtainable at your community wellness nutrition save. purely use them once you desire them, they may be habit forming. in case you desire something this night devoid of going out, attempt taking purely a million/2 or a million/4 of your Tylenol PM. That used to get me off to sleep yet did no longer leave me spaced out contained in the morning. good success!

Answer 9
