how do you get over insomnia?

I can share some tips to help you deal with the tension, stress and anxiety that lead to insomnia, so that you can enjoy a good night's sleep. - Take a warm bath. It's a great way to relax your body. Don't overdo it, however. You merely want to relax your body, not exhaust it. Too long in hot water and your body is drained of vitality. Use bath salts, or throw in Epsom salts and baking soda -- one cup of each. These will relax you and also help remove toxins from your body. - Get a massage. Have your spouse (or whoever) give you a massage just before going to sleep. If you can convince them to give you a full body massage, great. If not, even a short backrub and/or a face and scalp massage can be a big help. Have them make the massage strokes slow, gentle, yet firm, to work the tension out of your muscles and soothe you to sleep. - Listen to music. Play some soft, soothing music that will lull you to sleep. There are even cassettes and records designed for that very purpose. Some are specially composed music, others simply have sounds of waves rhythmically breaking, or the steady pattern of a heartbeat. - Drink warm milk. A glass of warm milk 15 minutes before going to bed will soothe your nervous system. Milk contains calcium, which works directly on jagged nerves to make them (and you) relax. - Drink herbal tea. If you don't like milk - or are avoiding dairy products - try a cup of hot camomile, green, or white tea. All contain natural ingredients which will help you sleep. Most health food stores will also have special blends of herb tea designed to soothe you and help you get to sleep. - Sleep on a good firm bed. - Sleep in a well-ventialetd room. - Get some physical exercise during the day. - Deep breathing.

Get rid of your worries. Before going to bed have a glass of warm milk. Think or visualise a happy moment in the past or future and visualise you in it. Enjoy the moment into your consciuos mind repeat the thought more deeply. This will help for relaxation and followed by sleep.

I have grown to learn there is No Cure for insomnia! NONE! I have always had insomnia since I can remember. My doctor, and I suggest you only use medication through a doctors advice, prescribes a sleep medication I have been taking for years. It works, for me, I get an about 6 hours a night now, when I used to not sleep at all, maybe 20 min at a time. The medication I take is Trazodone 50 mg three tablets at bedtime along with Clonidine 0.1mg at bedtime.

i dont drink medication. i just make sure that im make myself tired so that i can sleep. medications have side effects.

Hi agnezia; Just simply type the word "insomnia" in the search box, plenty of insomnia website pages and the remedies document materials to read.

im watching tv and this make me sleep!! or i listen music!! its the only things that make me sleep!! ;]

The doctor prescribed me ambien, which I rarely take. Sometimes, I can get away with just some Tylenol Pm's and that works too. Lately, I've been trying to read at night to get tired, and that seems to be working. Good luck to you!
