Aggggh Insomnia!!!

I've had the same problem latley but for me I know that I have a lot on my mind, so when it is tome to unwind and laying in bed, that's when my mind starts to concentrate on the things that I tried not to think about all day. The good thing is that after a few days of not sleeping well, or at all, my body finally shuts down and I sleep like a baby because I am so overtired. Try reading while laying in bed or even listening to music, I have noticed that they both tend to help me when this problem ocurrs.

I recently ran into this also. I began meditating a few nights ago. I get so relaxed that I have fallen into one of the best deep sleeps I have ever had. I wake up refreshed and it is great.

Drinking a cup of chamoille tea is helpful. I also like to read a book before bed. I find that if I can make my eyes tired it helps me to go to sleep. also, getting into a sleep ritual and going to bed at the same time every day should help you.

I don't work so I usually jump online and try to earn some money...lol. I battle insomnia a lot. The past few months have been real bad. Normally I will sit and write for a bit and that relaxes me, but lately I haven't even felt like doing that. So I hop online and work my sites. Back when I was working I found I had a hard time getting to sleep when I worked back to back doubles. I knew I was sleeping on a deadline so it was hard for me to shutdown, especially after just getting home. I read this article on a relaxation technique that was supposed to help so I tried it and had so-so results. It said to lay down and imagine yourself relaxing each part of your body and letting it go to sleep. So I would start at my toes and work my way up and sometimes it actually worked. Good luck Pix!

well i would agree to what risris said. read a book or listen to music. but i would have to say not to read the Da Vinci code as a bed time story....its really easy to get lost. i would also suggest watching an old movie like the sandlot, BIG, any of the Indiana Jones, or perhaps a starwars film. something like that. now if yyou are really desperate for some sleep i just take nyquil or some other night medicine that induces drowsiness. hope that helps.
