Answer 3

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

It may be best to first uncover why you are not sleeping.

If the sleep aids are not working, then the issue may be a bit deeper than just simple insomnia.

In Chinese Medicine, the inability to sleep is caused by a particular set of internal imbalances, which may in turn be caused by many things (dietary, lifestyle, mental issues such as depression or anxiety, etc.).

You might consider seeing a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (yes, this is my own bias). I've seen many people's insomnia improve with a few treatments and/or herbs.

Answer 5

A glass of warm milk an hour before bedtime often helps. Other natural remedies can be found in a web search for "natural sleep remedies".

Answer 6

Everyone has a position they initially get into when they go to bed...however the best position to be in is the one you are in when you wake up.

Realize what position you wake up in after a good sound sleep. Now, when it's time to go to bed, get into that position, your side, back, etc., as that would be the best position for you to get another good nights sleep.

Also, don't eat anything for three hours before you go to bed. If you feel hungry and need a snack, ...have a pear, peach or a plum . If you can't control your appetite, you won't get a good nights sleep.

Medication should be the last thing you take for a good nights sleep.

Answer 7

The most popular things for sleep, there's Melatonin, L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP, Scullcap (an herb... it just sounds bad), L-Taurine, and Passionflower are all very popular to help people sleep naturally.

That being said, the WORST thing you can do is to take medicine that you don't need. For example, if you want to get to sleep, you shouldn't take Tylenol PM (unless you have a headache) or Benedryl (unless your allergies are keeping you up).
