I'm having a TERRIBLE time sleeping at night. Sometimes I go right through without sleeping AT ALL. I get sleepy in the daytime. What should I do?

You may need to see a Dr. there are sleeping pills they have that can help. Maybe you have a medical problem. Better safe than sorry. If this keeps up it could cause some real problems (health)

I used to work in graveyard shifts (7pm to 7am). Therefore I need to stay awake on my off days and switch over to night shift on my working days.
I am able to sleep using the following:
- melatonin : I took 1-2mg. I have colleagues that take up to 6 mg. The average is about 3mg. This is non additive. Another point is melatonin need no doctor's prescription. You can read more from this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/melatonin.....
I have even read from books on melatonin that it is an anti-aging pill. Not bad. You sleep and stop growing old.
- use lavender aromatherapy. Lavender smell help me to sleep after a night shift.
Some addition tips I used
- The most important rule is not to force yourself to sleep.
- Get a boring book with a topic you want to learn. Read until you are ready to sleep. Listen to classic music as you read.
- No activity before you sleep. Avoid watching movies, reading ghost stories, pillow fights, exercising.
- Keep the clock as far away as possible. The ticking make you even more afraid and awake.

Definitely go see a doctor to help you sleep..dont try an over the counter stuff because you can either build a tolerance to it or get addicted..its best to talk to a professional. It could be just stress or maybe some other neurological problem....good luck!

Avoid caffiene and fatty foods. See your doctor for a checkup. Walk around the block a few times 1/2 hour after dinner. Learn to relax.
If you are having stress, that can affect your sleep.
See the doc.

placed toys away, each little thing no longer merely rats would be urinateing on those. Rats are wonderful, maximum are no longer ailment companies like maximum folk think of, do away with any nutrition materials which you have, and purchase a stay rabbit capture (ones that dotn kill them this is merely organic cruelty, many dont die rapidly, they die a slow and painful loss of life), examine that each and daily, with the intention to no longer tension them in the event that they're caught. Then take the some miles away and launch them in someplace the place there arent many people.

My husband & I work nights so it is difficult to sleep during the day. We usually drink 1-2 mixed drinks(whiskey & coke) and take 2 tylenol PM. We also keep the room very dark & quiet(no phone). We sleep like babies.

Hello,
Maybe re schedule your self. Start going to bed at same time every night then getting up around the same time each day. Skip any kind of nap. Should fixs it's self in no time.
