Question

tomorrows the first day of school, but ive been having trouble since a month ago

Answer 1

watch tv before u go to bed....read book,,,,,

Answer 2

Try a few things....
A) buy one of those relaxation cd's... you can get them cheap at Walmart.... Something soft and soothing... you don't want something like sounds of the rain forest as the sounds of monkeys and stuff may keep you awake.
B) have a hot bath to relax before bed if you can
C) I've always heard/read that a little milk (chocolate milk too) before bed helps as there are properties in milk that promote sleep (which is why babies sleep a lot).
D) sleep aid (sleeping pills, but don't take them all the time, you don't want to become addicted).
E) sexual release (solo or with a partner{since you live at home I would suspect it would be easier to do solo}...it may help you sleep as you'll be relaxed, or it could have the opposite effect).

Try any combination of these and you may find some relief. Good luck, I wish you all the best. My husband has a lot of nights when he doesn't sleep good so I understand your frustration.

Answer 3

OK, These are some facts that work:

Cool the bedroom. (Open windows, fewer blankets, fan).
Turn off the TV or computer monitor at least a 1/2-1 hour before bedtime. (You're looking at the light from the screen and it's more difficult to fall asleep.)
Dim the light of the room.
Go to bed earlier; if you know you are not going to get a full night sleep, that can be stressful and difficult to fall asleep.

These are some tips I heard on the radio. And some of them I've actually found successful.

Hope they help.

Also, empty bladder and sometimes reading something peaceful before bedtime can help.

God Bless. :)

Answer 4

take a cool shower, part of the natural going to sleep process is the body cooling down, a cool/cold (not freezing) shower strips some of the heat out of your body and helps this process along.

For those with RLS (restless leg syndrome) a cool/cold water rinse with a handheld showerhead to remove heat from your legs and buttocks may help provide relief, that was a happy coincidence for me using the above method long before RLS was recognized by the medical profession.

LOL, I had another thought, I like watching David Lettermans show, not that he's boring but I find his humor is pleasantly relaxing and all too often I fall asleep during his show even when the intention is to stay up and watch.

Answer 5

Reading helps me to fall asleep.

Listening to soothing music.

There is a relaxation technique where you think about each part of your body relaxing and falling asleep, starting with your toes and working up (or visa versa).

warm milk and honey before bed.
"Sleepy Time" tea before bed.

If you don't have any alergies you could take some Valarian Root 30 min. before bedtime or Melatonin (both over the counter vitamin supplements). If you're underage discuss with your family first!!!!

I suffer from insomnia and also have major issues falling asleep. I go to bed an hour before I need to sleep and lay quietly and watch a boring TV show. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt!! Good luck and try to turn off the thoughts by writing them all down before bed and then putting them out of your mind til morning

Answer 6

Try not to tose and turn, just lie still - the less you move, the better.
As soon as a thought pops into your head, take it out.
Just think of a clear blue ocean, and the waves moving.
Keep your eyes close, and try not to open them.
Since tomorrow's your first day of school, I doubt even with tips that you'll fall alseep, I think you'l have too much on your mind and no matter how hard you try to ignore them, they'll always be in the back of your mind.
Maybe you'll just have to deal with it - for tonight atleast.
Anyways, good luck.

Answer 7

I use a lavender oil diffuser (the kind where you put diffuser oil in a bottle with bamboo reeds and the oil goes up the reeds and scents the room. It's safe (unlike a candle), and the lavender is very soothing - it makes you relaxed and sleepy.

I keep the diffuser on my nightstand and sleep well every night. (And my bedroom smells great.)

You might also try a warm bath before bed. Relaxes your muscles and also makes you sleepy.

Make sure not to have a lot of caffeine (tea, cola, coffee, even chocolate) during the day.

Make sure your room is cool - a too warm room makes it difficult to sleep too.

Sweet dreams.

Answer 8

First try to relax yourself in order to be able to sleep faster, check if you are not eating something heavy before going to sleep that is not helping you to do that, also try to listen soft music if you are the ones that with music can fall asleep, if not try reading just before sleep.

prepare your mind before going to sleep, what you did all day long good what you couldnt good too, by thinking if this or that won't make a difference, and after thinking it that simple its easier to fall asleep and you will find that whenever you have the chance to do things you will and not torment yourself before going to sleep. (being there done that) Hope it works for you too.

Sometimes helps to drink honey with milk. or even the clasic countdown: "One white big sheep jumping around the fence .... two...."

Have great dreams :D

Answer 9

I listen to audio books at night, and I usually fall asleep during the first half hour or so. The reason this works for me is that I can listen with my eyes closed and the lights off, laying in the same position in which I sleep. If you buy the audio book on disks and load them into iTunes, it will play continuously from beginning to end--assuming, of course that you have your computer in your room.

Answer 10

You can count 1 sheep, 2 sheep etc... all the way to 100 and you can read a book and you will fall asleep before you know it.

Answer 11

- yes, you need to destress yourself before going to bed. if you go to bed with too much on your mind you will never fall asleep. here are some tips:

- try drinking some warm milk
- wash up well before you intend on going to bed
- lie on the couch about half an hour before you go to bed and already have your pjs on
- try some relaxation/meditation
- once you are in bed, listen to a cd/mp3 player of relaxing music, nothing loud or too fast...calm, peaceful music is recommended

hope this helps!
