Can't Sleep....suggestions??

Question

This has been an ongoing issues for me. I have some difficulty with anxiety and depression. I also have a 19 month old girl, so taking sleeping agents is not an option for me as I can't be really groggy from popping pills. I've tried everything else though.....warm milk, massage, relaxation/meditation music, soaking in the tub with lavendar, and an occassional glass of wine. Wine, or even a malt beverage, works for me, but it's also like a sleeping pill....I have to make sure that I have at least eight hours to devote to sleep if I am going to go that route. Yes, I have discussed this with a doctor. Any other suggestions?

What is the Treatment of Sleeping Disorder?
There are many effective ways for the sleeping disorder treatment. Some of the various alternates are stated as below:

Sleeping Disorder Treatment by Medication:
Drugs may be prescribed when the cause of insomnia includes a particularly stressful situation (i.e., bereavement or the loss of a job) or a pain from some physical condition, or if a person's efficiency and sense of well-being are seriously impaired by sleeplessness. Hypnotic (sleep-inducing) drugs should never be combined with even a small amount of alcohol, a sedative that enhances gastrointestinal absorption of the drugs and compounds their effects.

Always follow your doctor's specific instructions for treating insomnia. Alcohol consumption may cause initial drowsiness, but this is usually followed by sudden wakefulness after the alcohol is metabolized. It may be more difficult to get back to sleep than it was beforehand.

Sleeping Disorder Treatment by self help:
There is no other better option than to naturally get good nights sleep.Some of the good habits for sound and good night sleep are as follows:

Make your sleeping place comfortable. Be sure that it is dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold.
Try to go to sleep at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning.
Get regular exercise. Try not to exercise close to bedtime. Experts suggest not exercising for 3 hours before the time you go to sleep.
Don't eat a heavy meal late in the day. A light snack before bedtime, however, may help you sleep.
Avoid using your bed for anything other than sleep or sex.
If you can't fall asleep and don't feel drowsy, get up and read or do something that is not overly stimulating until you feel sleepy.
If you have trouble lying awake worrying about things, try making a to-do list before you go to bed. This may help you to relieve of those worries for whole night.
Keep the lights low before bedtime.
Follow a routine to help relax and wind down before sleep, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a bath.
Try not to take naps during the day because naps may make you less sleepy at night.
Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and can keep you from falling asleep. Alcohol can cause waking in the night and interferes with sleep quality.
So, good night and sleep tight. No matter how and when you sleep, do sleep.


hope you have beautiful dreams while you are sleeping..^_^
