Having trouble sleeping well. Any advice?

Oh Lordy, do I know about not getting enough sleep! I hear ya on this. It is a constant battle to fall asleep and stay that way all night long. Most of the time I wake up is when I have to turn over to the other side, I cannot sleep on either back or stomach as it is uncomfortable as heck. I have found a short hot massaging shower to be of some relief from the pain in my back, as well as taking an Advil or Tylenol PM if really necessary. I don't advocate taking them unless they are absolutely needed, as it can cause an upset tummy in the morning.

Go get tired and do something that will require you physical effort. You must feel exhausted. You must have gallons of sweat dripping from your face and your body. haha kidding aside. After doing this, go treat yourself to a nice warm bath. Go to your bed and I am pretty sure that when you wake up, you'd be feeling great. You would say that you just had a great sleep. =) I hope this will help you out a lot. Not to mention you'll be getting very fit because of the exercise. =P

That is very sad. My advise is to not watch TV before going to bed. that helps. Then you can opt for a glass of water before going to bed and if you sleep with light bulb on, then try sleeping in complete darkness. I hope that you will get sound sleep every time you go to bed, now on!

Hi! i have the same problem too. I cant sleep well coz i work at night so i should be sleeping at daytime! and I really cant sleep well. My friends advised me to read a book or drink warm milk but niether of those works, so now am taking sleeping pills but not daily coz i dont want to be dependent to sleeping pills, il take sleeping pills when really needed.

Sometimes when I can't sleep I have a bath with some lavender oil in, makes me all relaxed. Lavender in gerneral is good to get yourself relaxed... thast if your not allergic. Or I open my window lie down and listen to my ipod until i drift off.

play some kind of sport outside and get tired that way it works for me =)

You can try the following: 1/ Embedding your feet in warm water before going to bed. 2/ Take a glass of hot milk. 3/ Don't eat too much before sleeping. 4/ Read some difficult documents, they'll make you fall asleep. 5/ Doing some excercises or sports, then take a bath and go to bed.

em,i have no problem on sleeping.once go to bed dont think about other things only relax. it may help u in falling asleep quickly.and u can take a glass of warm milk half an hour before ur sleeping time.it will help u a good sleep.. have a try

Well,i found many ppl have sleeping trouble,somebody by eating pill and somebody just go to see doctor wish can be different.Yes,i've been have sleeping trouble,so i just go to see the video or book so can make my eyes tired and then i'll fall asleep unconsciously.I know have more pill is bad for healthy,so i never eat ,hehm...

There are lots of things you can do. Try having a cup of hot tea - without caffiene - about half an hour before you go to bed. The hot tea is soothing, so it will help you relax. If you dont find tea relaxing, try something quiet that you do find relaxing. It will help get you ready for bed. Try stretching throughout the day. That will help get your blood flowing through your body and make you alert during the day. This way, your body will be more ready to go to sleep when it is time for bed and you stop stretching. Try going to bed earlier. Often times, if you wait too long, your body has started to produce hormones to keep you awake. Many people refer to this as thier 'second wind'. Try to avoid letting that happen. If you are restless while you sleep, the problem may be your bed! If it is old, it may not be as comfortable as it used to be. See about getting a new one. Good luck! I hope you find something that works for you!

Hello there L30n84. I have read in one article before that helps us to relax to have a warm and short shower before bedtime. Also avoid exercising few hours before bedtime. Maybe you need also to discuss this with your doctor so he/she can tell you what to do, cause it would certainly create problems in our system if our body unable to get 8 hours of sleep. Are you into reading? try to read the Bible you will certainly get sleepy and snore in no time at all...I don't know...maybe the devil just don't want you to read it...lol...there's nothing wrong in trying. Hope this helps. Happy mylotting.

I guess you have an insomia a trouble of sleeping. Maybe you can ask doctors advice with this matter if it still going on for how many days. I think theres a tablet for you to make you sound sleep. Did you ever try to have massage in your body to relieve your insomia? Read stories before you sleep this can lead to sleepiness.

From my experience, if I have had some exercise like playing squash during the day, I can get asleep in no time at night. Is it your sleeping environment not comformtable enough? For instance, what about the bed? air ventilation? Temperature?

Hi! i also experienced the same problem you have.. i notice that no matter how long we sleep, we seem to be restless if we are thinking a lot of things.. Especially when you have work, you get tired of doing same things daily.. My advice is, try to do things that make you feel happy and comfortable.. I think spending time with family and friends is the best thing to do to relieve your stress. Scientifically, if you are a coffee-person.. You can take milk as a substitute.. ^_^ That's all i can share for you my friend..

Try to do some exercises in the daytime to see whether there is an improvement for your sleeping. Try to relax yourself and drink a cup of milk when you go to bed. Good luck! I love China

Wheather when you are sleep,you always think mang things so that you can not sleep well.If so ,you should not think it and divert your thought.It is a better way to do some exerses before you go to bed which i have tried.Adding ,forget those thing that make you be in trouble .
