Answer 1

I will give you a list of strategies that will work providing you do not have a sleeping disorder, such as sleep apnea, which would require a sleep study to determine. If you sleep with someone, do they say you stop breathing, get up gasping for air, etc., if so that is an example of a sleep disorder that will require a sleep study.

Go to sleep the same time each day and get up the same time each day no matter the quantity or quality of sleep. Limit bedtime to eight hours. Never, ever take naps. It will be rough the first week, but remember, it will take time to adapt to the new routine.

Avoid or limit caffeine (no caffeinated soda, coffee/even decaf, chocolate), nicotine, and alcohol within 4-6 hours of going to bed.

If taking any medications, see if any side effects cause insomnia.

Save the bed for sleeping and sex only...no TV, etc.

Exercise daily at least 4 hours before bedtime (even a 20 minute walk will do the trick).

Relax in the evenings…don’t do anything stimulating.

Try to avoid a bedtime snack.

Take a daily vitamin.

Drink plenty of water (real, plain water).

Try using white noise. I’m a very light sleeper, so I turn on a loud air purifier; this drowns out noises like barking dogs, car doors slamming, etc.

Either darken the bedroom (I use black construction paper on the windows) or I cannot stand them, but you might even consider wearing a sleeping mask.

I also sleep a lot better in a dark, cool room that requires me to snuggle down under the blankets.

The key is getting into a rhythm and reducing stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine.

Good luck and may you be counting sheep soon, lol

Answer 2

Work hard, or take a long walk, get physically tired. Avoid caffeine after 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sometimes a lavender bath helps. Get some good books to read and it might help distract you from thinking about sleep. Get a few good pillows and work at making yourself comfortable. Good Luck.

Answer 3

most times the inability to sleep is caused by uncomfortable surroundings. For some reason you (may....?) and if so you should try to find out why fix it and be comfortable with your surroundings.... and yes it is very easier said than done... why this planet sucks and so does it's inhabitants.

Answer 4

I suggest sleeping pills they always make me knock out. Go to ur nearest pharmacy and ask or ask ur doctor to prescribe you something. Ask about AMBIEN CR or LunaSom PM. "gives you the kind of sleep you can only dream about!"

Answer 5

maybe talk to ur doc about a low dosage of xanax or sleep meds..it works wonders!...good luck...being over tired sucks.
