Do you have a nighttime routine? I have been suffering from insomnia for as long as I can remember. I hardly get enough sleep, and it's taking a toll on my cognitive ability. These days, I often zone out. Quite forgetful, too....

Yumeko @Iam_jauntyjen but if you're not sleeping for two days straight, you'll be having side effects of that too.

Kandase First of all you should never have a late dinner and go to bed. You should eat at least 4 or 5 hours before you are ready to sleep. They say a cup of chamomile tea helps, but l have found that having something with oats does make a big difference.

Eva James Set a routine that works for you. Stay away from electronics like your phone and computer for at least an hour before laying down. Reading a book before bed helps a lot of people.

Raine38 @Iam_jauntyjen And that's a blessing in itself. I do believe that sometimes, we meet people so we learn a lesson or two and be able to fully appreciate the ones who will be our true friends. Getting hurt by these kinds of people also help us become stronger. I...

Raine38 I know this is an older post, but this resonates with me somehow. I have no kids, and I am originally from the Philippines, but I would say I have a very good grasp of the English language. I have to, I am doing HR as a profession, and I am married to an...

Kayla Tsukino First of all, what you're giving your kid is good, but there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. Most people aren't always that hungry that early in the morning or when they first get up. So, maybe offer one or the other for breakfast. Pasta in and of...

Dena Miller It is good you are giving her good nutrition at home and talking to her about it. Perhaps as she gets older, she will make better choices. It is hard to be a kid these days and not eat junk food. We are surrounded by it.

Marie Coyle @Iam_jauntyjen If it makes you feel any better, often kids do change. Out of my 4, two hated onions. By the time they reached their teens, they just ate them, and now they love them. Another child hated mushrooms. Now, she loves to cook with them, and she...

Marie Coyle You don't say how old your daughter is, but I assume she doesn't have a job or earn her own money. Don't give her money to blow at the convenience store. Have one day a week that dinner is something she asks for. Fix the nutritious foods you are used to, or...

Judy Story All you can do is have no junk food in the house and offer her healthy foods for each meal. Hopefully she will be hungry and eat the right foods at home.
