I hate sleeping pills so the doctor gave me this mild stuff called trazadone, it is a really old anti depressant that didn't work as an anti depressant because it makes you too drowsy. It isn't addictive and doesn't leave you all ugh like sleeping pills, it just helps you. When I was still refusing to take meds, before my husband said he would leave me if I didn't get some help, I did a few things that would help. 1) count sheep - no kidding it works 2) say the alphabet over and over and over 3) count as high as you possibly can, try to picture the numbers in your head 4) focus on black, try to picture nothing but black in your head as hard as you can, you work so hard at it you block out your other thoughts 5) this one usually worked the best for me, it is an old method acting relaxation trick. Breath in and out, counting each breath in and match your breath out with the same count slowing increasing your count each time. ALso, picture a calming color blue air in, gold air out, something like that. The picturing process helps to focus your creative mind, blocking out thoughts. A few more things, exercise at least 45 minutes a day, this helps ready your body for sleep, not so easy to follow through wwith :-\ Don't lay there not tired staring at the cieling, go do something boring. Read a book, something not super exciting, but make sure it is something you like, don't punish yourself. Sleepytime tea. It always helped to relax me. Consider the medication I mentioned, it might help regulate your sleep patterns and isn't a sleepign pill. I have been there, all my life, and it sucks, I hope some of the things I mentioned can help you.

Not really. Just makes me turn the TV up and worry about what it will be like tomorrow. I grew up in the rain (Whidbey Island, Washington State). Sometimes that rain brings wind and branches that slam into the house and cause all sorts of havoc and loss of power.
Thank God I live in the East Bay Area of California now where it rarely rains. . .
The TV helps me get to sleep.

No, I don't think it's weird. I think it's very,very human. Here in Nevada where I live - a place referred to as "The Truckee Meadows" - if we get say 4" a yr., we consider ourselves lucky; so currently I'm unable to meaningfully relate.
But I remember as a teen-ager living on a farm in Arkansas - where it was quite humid at times, and we had annual spring floods - whenever it would rain, it seem to cast a somnambulistic spell over me.
A haunting kind of yearning, to become a part of, "One" with, the rain; to become a mist, and float out over the landscape, to reassure all the field crops and woodland creatures, that all was well; and to repose in their dampened soil or moist dens, to slumber in peacefully solitude.
I think it's a primordial remembrance, possibly a longing for less stressful times gone by, of the watering womb from which we originally emerged, the everlasting sea.
So, it's not just a "my weird thing"; it's universal and has probably been with us humans from time immemorial.
Enjoy it, and I'm envious,
Wotan

The sound of rain can be very relaxing, that's why it's always included in those relaxation cds. But it has to be the right kind of rain, crazy psycho storms tend to keep me awake.

the sound of rain is very soothing. I even have my sound machine set to rain lol. And, as many others have said, the smell is great too.
