I usually have my mom or dad or grandma tuck me in before I go to sleep. It works only by them, no one else... my grandma doesnt live here and my parents sometimes go to sleep before me. How can I go to sleep without waking up my parents or getting an anxiety attack? I am not going to drink warm milk, I am a lactose intolerant. That meditation zen stuff doesnt work, and even if I exercise a lot for one day that doesnt help. I cant play music in my room, and I dont usually have time for a long bath... I also wake up several times each night for a few minutes... ALSO... 1- Is there anything wrong with me? 2- Should my dr know? 3- What can I do to help it?

Hi!
You should talk to your doctor. Perhaps he can give you something for your anxiety that will help you relax. If there is something you fear... try to do whatever you can to get rid of it. Or, maybe you are thinking too much-- letting your mind worry on things that it shouldn't.
I used to be a little like that. There is a comfort in knowing that someone is around that is awake and watching over you as you fall asleep. For us humans, being asleep is equates to us being vulnerable... i.e. Will the monster under the bed get us? What is that dark shadow on the wall? Will someone break into the house and kill everyone? Etc...
So, it is always more relaxing to know that a person we trust is around and awake, protecting us. When your parents tuck you in at night, you can fall asleep easy knowing that they are awake in the next room and won't let nothing happen to you.
Perhaps reading a book (one that makes you happy and brings you comfort) before you go to sleep might help. For me, I either read the Bible or read a really good romance book to get me relaxed.
I hope this helps...
Best Wishes for a Good Night Sleep...

Perhaps you have anxiety and they offer you comfort. I'm not sure of your situation, but if this seems to be a real problem, I think it's best to see a therapist. They can help you work on issues behind this problem. Talking to your doctor would be a good idea. It may help. I'm not sure how old you are, but of course your family won't be able to tuck you in forever. I'm sure you can get past this problem. Have hope! I would see a therapist. Then you can find out why this happens and how to stop it. God Bless You!

Don't toss and turn. If you do that it psyches out your brain into think that the bed is not for sleep. If you can't sleep just give up for a bit and read a book or listen to some Jack Johnson.

drink a glass of luke warm milk before going to bed. Calcium helps in inducing a relaxed sleep.

try a glass of milk before bed and/or toast with peanut butter. Its an incredible combo, makes me tired thinking about it. There are also other foods that are proven to cause sleepyness, but now im too tired to think of them, thanks a lot, good night.......
