why cant i just go to bed????????

Answer 1

you know my doc put me on Rozerum and it doesn't work, he told me to take some benadryl, but i think it's addictive.

Answer 2

I have a couple of friends who find great difficulty in settling their minds before they go to sleep. Often, this is the work of distractions: the computer, the television, and so on. The computer especially makes it difficult to sleep - staring at a bright white screen for hours messes up the triggers in a person's head, that tells them that they're tired. Ever stay up for hours on the computer? This is why. Even after getting off of the computer, your mind will take a while to settle down. If this is the case, I suggest doing your computer-browsing earlier in the day.
Another possible problem you may be experiencing is stress. Are you lying awake, thinking about work, family, relationships? Is there any factor in your life that comes to mind more often than others, that is bothering you? Perhaps dealing with it can help, or speaking about it with a close contact. Perhaps the stress is due to work or a project you have yet to begin. If this is the case, then you have likely been troubled for sleep for a while, now. The only solution to a problem such as this is to attack it head-on. Find motivation, make plans, start a list, and follow through with it. Realize, you are responsible for how well you sleep.
To best analyze what's keeping you awake, study your habits before you go to bed. Are you drinking too much caffeine earlier in the day? Do you exercise before bed? Do you surf the internet, listen to loud music, or have anxiety-filled fights with people? Realize what you're doing to keep your mind and body from coming to rest, and try to counteract that with something a bit more soothing. If something is bothering you, brainstorm a list of ways to deal with it, and put it near your bed. If an idea comes to you before you can sleep, add to the list, and then try to calm yourself to sleep, again. Perhaps listening to soft music, reading, or drinking herbal teas before bed may help. Experiment with different techniques, and see what works best for you. Remember, this is for your own piece of mind, and finding new ways to sleep better can only benefit you in the long run.

What is the secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep? Head for the kitchen and enjoy one or two of these 10 foods. They relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones - serotonin and melatonin - flowing.
Yawning yet?

Bananas. They're practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition
to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.

Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it's the perfect natural antidote for restless minds/bodies.

Warm milk. It's not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan - an amino acid that has a sedative - like effect - and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus there's the psychological throw-back to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything's fine."

Honey. Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's linked to alertness.

Potatoes. A small baked spud won't overwhelm your GI tract, and it clears away acids that can interfere with yawn-inducing tryptophan. To up the soothing effects, mash it with warm milk.

Oatmeal. Oats are a rich source of sleep - inviting melatonin, and a small bowl of warm cereal with a splash of maple syrup is cozy - plus if you've got the munchies, it's filling too.

Almonds. A handful of these heart-healthy nuts can be snooze-inducing, as they contain both tryptophan and a nice dose of muscle-relaxing magnesium.

Flaxseeds. When life goes awry and feeling down is keeping you up, try sprinkling 2 tablespoons of these healthy little seeds on your bedtime oatmeal. They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a natural mood lifter.

Whole-wheat bread. A slice of toast with your tea and honey will release insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain, where it's converted to serotonin and quietly murmurs "time to sleep."

Turkey. It's the most famous source of tryptophan, credited with all those Thanksgiving naps. But that's actually modern folklore. Tryptophan works when your stomach's basically empty, not
overstuffed, and when there are some carbs around, not tons of protein. But put a lean slice or two on some whole- wheat bread mid-evening, and you've got one of the best sleep inducers in
your kitchen.

Answer 4

You should elaborate on your question more. We don't know if you have any stress or personal problems that would keep you up. If you don't then say so. Sometimes people don't need as much sleep as others. I only sleep about 5hours a nite and I am fine. Are you feeling tired in the morning? Do you take naps in the afternoon? Are you afraid you'll miss something if you fall asleep too early?

Answer 5

Your body reacts to artificial light, to get yourself sleepy, you should try lounging around in the dark with only the tv on about an hour before you want to go to bed. The aromatherapy scent, lavendar helps ease you into sleep. Also, try to clear your mind of thoughts and things you need to accomplish. By thinking of things, your brain is too active to go to bed, try thinking of something peaceful like the beach or something that relaxes you. If you are still having problems, go see your doctor, and they can help you more if you need it.

Answer 6

You can. Try something that normally would relax you...warm milk, tea, deep breathing, a warm bath or listening to music? Then turn off all the outside stimuli...lights, TV, the computer and Yahoo! Answers.

Fluff up your pillows, slip under the covers and clear your mind as much as possible. Relax and sleep will come.

Good luck and goodnight!

Answer 7
