I cannot sleep...what do you do to get to sleep...

If you're suffering from insomnia, then you might want to seek medical assistance. Occasionally, I'm unable to sleep too. I hop on to bed at 10PM, then I'd roll on the bed till 3:00AM before I finally sleep, and I wake up at 8:30AM or earlier. Sometimes, it has something to do with what's going on in your mind. It is believed that if a person is more relaxed, he'd be able to sleep better; when you're tired, you might be able to sleep too. Well, I'm not asking you to work till you're tired LOL. Drinking caffeinated beverages doesn't work for everyone (not for me, at least), neither does counting sheep. Try reading something till you doze off. I'd just watch TV till my eyes feel like closing. By the way, it's not good to take afternoon naps. It disrupts your sleep pattern. Try doing something to make your mind relax a bit, have more fun etc. This could be the cause - I don't know, but it's worth a try. Or else get some professional help. Take care, and hope you'll be able to sleep better soon.

it's really a torture to suffer from insomnia. first of all try to find the cause. can your toddler be the cause? when my son was very young, i couldn't have a good sleep either. is there anything worrying you a lot? that may also cause insomnia. if it isn't the causes mentioned above, go to your doctor for help.

hello kcoregon, What I'm always doing and so effective to me is to read anything like books, pocketbooks, magazines, newspapers and even bible. This way I can sleep easily. You can try this, it might help you. Besides, don't think too much. Just relax.

eat one spoon of honey before bad. it'll help

I try to read or try to be busy in the morning to tire myself and get a goodnight sleep. I also heard that drinking hot milk will help. Though i'm not usually doing it cause i'm lactose intolerant.Ü You can also try to have a nice warm bath before sleeping. I hope these things will help you.Ü

I find that a hot shower in the night before I go to bed, as well as some music which I find entertaining to put me to sleep quite easily. Also it helps if I reflect on the days happenings or any problems or issues I have in my life. Sometimes I try to plan ahead from the next day, but this is quite a pointless practice for when Man plans, God laughs :P . You can also try reading since whenever I read lying down, it somehow sends an automatic signal to my body to go into sleep-mode or something lol Thanks for sharing and happy myLotting!

I usually read a book to get to sleep.

The first thing you need to do is get some exercise during the day. Nothing like a load on the system to make it want to rest. Next, go to bed at the same time everyday. After a while your body will know it's rest time at that time. NO CAFFEINE. That includes chocolates, coffee,tea, and lots of soft drinks. Watch your salt intake. Too much salt can wire you up. If after all that you still can't sleep, try a white or pink noise generator. Pink does best for me. You can download one for your computer or you can buy cds. In fact they have all kinds of sounds from low hums to rain. I'm sure you can find something. Good luck!!

I cant sleep untill i listen to radio.Sometimes i watch tv.Listening to radio is fantastic thing.Usualy i laugh while lstening to radio.I listen romantic songs on radio.On weekend u will find remix songs on radio.Many radio jokey talk to the audiance and listen to there rewquest.Some radio jokey listen toh the issues of people who are in love.Now most of people listen to radio while sleeping.

Take a hot bath, drink hot chocolate or drink some milk If you feel sleepy, just sleep. Ask someone to take care of your responsibilities, you must sleep at all times or you will not be able to keep going. Try to eat healthy food and avoid any beverage contain caffeine.
