Anyone know how to help insomnia?

Question

I have been under a great deal of stress recently. My parents died a few months apart from each other. My ex and I split up right after. I moved to a different state and now my car is broke down and I have children to care for. I am also going through a nasty custody battle. All of this happened in less than a year and now I cannot sleep. I can not get things out of my head so I just lie in bed wide awake. I feel I would feel better about things if I wasnt so tired all the time.

I have tried tylenol pm. It only makes me feel worse. I dont really know people around where I live to talk to. I dont have family any more to heip.

Answer 1

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress,
dietary and medical problems. By making
small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly,
insomnia can be cured. I found the information at

Hello, just wanted to let you know of a miracle pill that puts you to sleep, available over the counter, is actually very very beneficial for your health, and is only 3 bucks!! I had trouble falling asleep for years. I would lay in bed, and think and think and think for hours before I could fall asleep. It was literally driving me crazy!! I had tried every over the counter sleeping pill on the market and nothing helped. I turned to Nyquil and that did the trick. I had been drinking Nyquil almost every night to go to sleep until I stumbled upon this miracle sanity saving nutritional supplement named MELATONIN. And you can buy it at any GNC health food store. I advocate GNC because the melatonin they use goes through 85 different quality checks before its bottled. Buy the sublingual melatonin. The kind that dissolves underneath your tongue tastes like cherries and it’s good for you!! I was shocked at the effectiveness in putting me to sleep. If you have any questions before you buy it the sales associate at GNC should be able to answer any questions you have. It comes in 1 mg, I take 2 right before bed. The only side effects are weird dreams for the first two nights if any at all. I have been taking it for years and it’s truly been a blessing. And it has more antioxidant effects than Vitamin C and Vitamin E combined. You must take the sublingual kind from GNC otherwise it might not work because of quality and potency, should be taken at regular bedtimes in the evening. Must try the GNC brand at your local mall.
God Bless
P.S. after you try it and it works don’t forget to tell others about it. You could be saving someone else’s Sanity

For the most part, your insomnia may well work itself out if you could just sit down and flesh out your recent problems with a friend. Rogerian therapy is best when all you need is an ear to listen to you. Failing that you can always try Benadryl if you have it lying around the house. The active ingredient, diphenhydramine, is a potent anti-histamine whose side effect is drowsiness (usually ~40 minutes or so). You can find it [diphenhydramine] under different names at any local drug store selling sleep aides.

P.S. I would suggest warm milk and cookies (or maybe ice cream) - dairy products have tons of tryptophan in them (and we all know how fast tryptophan will knock you out!) The starch in cookies and ice cream will help the tryptophan operon/production (read: it makes you go to sleep). Good luck!

Well in my case I used to be identified a extreme manic depressant which contributed to insomnia and dependancy. I eventually requested for support and used to be prescribed Zoloft and Trazadone. The longest I ever stayed up with out medicines or alcohol used to be 12 days instantly. If your whatever like me take prescribed medicines however I am a lovely extreme case.
