What do you do if you cannot fall asleep at night?

Hello my dear friend, thanks for your comment. I was totally opposite with you. When I was pregnant, although I have few hours nap at noon, I can still easily dozed off at night (with the loud snoring from my husband). Maybe that time, I do not have my OWN laptop and I do not do net surfing that frequent, therefore my bed time is kinda of fix (about 11pm). Now I am really addicted to internet, it is like a "main task" for me. As I mentioned, once my daughter went to bed, my me-time will begin by login to my blog, emails and also Mylot. You and I are the night owls, our bed time is about 2am. I think I will toss and turn on my bed until 2am if I sleeps earlier..LOL Anyway, we do need to listen to our body. We must find the time to take a rest besides our hectic or busy schedule.

Hello again Shuetyeng, Glad to hear that you can sleep so good when you were pregnant. When I was pregnant, besides the nap times get me hard to sleep at night, in fact my hubs also giving me the same problem like yours. my hubs snores every night ! LOL. When I was pregnant, I just felt so annoy with his snoring sounds. I did not have good sleep unless he was sleeping quietly . But now I have get use of it. Maybe if he does not snore one day, I will having hard time to fall asleep, LOL. You stay well and looking forward for your next discussion.

Hello my friend, thanks for your comment once more. It is bad feeling right when you could not fall asleep at night especially during pregnancy. I am sure you know pregnant makes us feeling tired more easily and adequate sleep is vital. I am weird too that I could sleep so good last time with the loud snoring from my husband but now I could not do so. Sometimes it is a pity scene too to see my husband tired from his office work but can't have a good night sleep because I will always pull his blanket to wake him from the snore but what else can I do.... Anyway, it is great that at least now you do have a quality sleep time.

Thanks for complimenting. Well, sometimes I am having a hard time going to bed because of too much exposure on the computer than having an active body because of exercise. I guess too much computer exposure makes my mind more active so going to sleep is nightmare hehe. Have a wonderful Week..

Hi, nice to see your comment again Underdogy, It is so happy to know that you do exercise on a regular basis. I do not like exercise but I know that is the only way to burn my fat. I seldom exercise before bed time, if yes, I think I will sleep better. By the way, I thought exercise helps us have a quality sleep? What type of exercise that you like? The light emitted from computer screen is intense and it likely to stimulate and wake our nervous system. Therefore, it is better for me and you to cut down the frequency of using internet so that we could have a better sleep. Anyway, thanks for your comment once again.

Thanks for your comment Underdogy, You have gave a very good point here...My body and mind totally active the moment my girl went to bed, because that's the only moment I could have my "me-time". When come to think about the problem, I guess my mind is too active in net surfing. The hours that I spent doing it also makes me have sleepless mind. For me, I will force myself not to wake up from bed although I can't fall asleep. The moment I get up from bed, I would definitely feel more fresher and unable to get back to sleep.

Hello Iriene, Thank you so much for leaving your comment at my topic. I am so appreciated for your support and encouragement. I will surely keep up my work with MyLot. Is it you have fixed a specific time for you to go to bed? For example sleeping at 2am. For me, I am like you too. I will blog and mylotting until 2am almost everyday, and if happened to sleep earlier than this time, I will be toss and turn on the bed. Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I always think to MyLotting, but I know I will surely can't sleep after I get up from my bed. So it is better for me to stay there and close my eyes without thinking of anything.

Thank you Shuetyeng, Have a wonderful weekend! Happy mylotting Olivia~

Hello SurveyPrincess. I totally agreed with you that we must have free mind in order to sleep well. The more we think, the more you have sleepless mind. I enjoy net surfing and I could spent many hours with it. My husband always said that if I am 'screen free", I will definitely sleep better. I am very much appreciated your comment and have a nice day to you.

Hello Pstclaire, good day to you. Surfing net will not be ideal for me because I will be more awake if I do so. I think if I am "screen-free", I would fall asleep so much easier. Mysteries games? I love playing computer games too. I can be very addicted to it. You are the first person who provided me the method of using meditation in order to sleeps better. It is a very good advice from you. Hope you could share about it here. Thanks!

Good day to you Coolpk87, I guess the sleeping disorder among students are more higher because some of you may need to revise till late at night and the worst is, to wake up early the morning for classes. Watching boring movie is another fun idea from you, but I think it is workable. Last time when I was studying, I fall asleep easily when I read the most boring subject (for me) HISTORY! LOL! Anyway, thanks for your comment and hope you have a great night sleep.

Hello Neidc. I like your profile picture very much. I need nap too during day time, or else I will be walking like a zombie! LOL I totally understood about the commitment and responsibility being a mom. Further more if the baby has sleeping disorder. Don't worry, I think your baby's problem will be solved he/she grows up. I enjoyed the story very much. It is indeed a very good method and the most important thing is, it worked! I am so happy that your wife has found a right way for her to fall asleep easily.

Thanks for your reply Machel2008, For me, the more I am in front of my computer screen, the more I can't fall asleep. I guess different method worked differently on others people. I thought tea will make us feel more fresh? I will definitely feel more energetic if I drink a cup of tea. Listening to music is another good tip from you. Thanks again.

Hello Good Day to you BingChen, You have provide a lot of good tips there in order to fall asleep better. Really appreciated it. I remembered during school time, I could easily dozed off when I read history book. For me, it is a very boring subject but I have to force myself into it, and at the end I fell into my dreamland...LOL. Better dig out the book from my store room and start reading! Too bad, I hate almost all types of dairy product, so drinking milk before going to bed is a "no no" for me.

Good day to you Suprad1, From your comment, I think you have more a disturbed sleep in the middle of the night than before going to bed. Sometimes I will wake up in the midnight for no reason, but I managed to sleep again after 15 minutes. For my opinion, you have to really free your mind when you are on your bed, or else I am afraid your sleeping style will affect your lifestyle in long term. But I am really glad that you have found the right method for yourself. I am trying to maintain a calm mind so that I will dozed off more faster. Happy MyLotting!

Good day to you polo_princess, I totally agreed with you. When I can't sleep, I will also forced myself stay on the bed and not walking out from the room. Because I know that the moment I stay up, I will have more tough time in going back to sleep again. How I wish I have television in my room... It is good that you have found the right method for you to fall asleep better. Happy MyLotting!

Same goes to me, Rudynahcapone. I am a worry queen too. My personality will be more obvious when there is an outing tomorrow, then I will normally can't fall asleep on the previous night. I will started to worry about a lot of unnecessary things. As the age is catching up, I am more open mined in terms of those unforeseen situation, therefore I will try to relax before when I am going to bed. Anyway, it is good to know that you have a better sleep now.

Good day to you Gelibean, Its really need time, patience and kindness when adjusting to a new room mate. I think it is not an easy thing by forcing yourself to lay on the bed and try to sleep. I am doing that now and sometimes really wish to get up and walk out from the room. I am trying to use the method of listening music before going to bed. Now I am switching on my YouTube music..Hope I will have a better sleep later.

Hello Levyx22, I am so much appreciated for all the methods that you have quoted here. You really talked very professionally about the ways in solving sleeping disorder. Firstly, about watching TV... For me, I think it is not really work, because the more I pay attention to the tv programme, the more I can't fall asleep later. Further more, I do not have TV in my bedroom...Too bad right? Secondly, husband snoring... Super good method! I always do that and he would stop the snoring for a moment. If he continues, I will pull away his blanket. Such a cruel wife right? Thirdly, do not panic.... I will definitely panic when I can't sleep at the time I suppose to sleep. You are absolutely right, this thought would bothered me and of course will keep me more alert than sleeping. The last resort, sleeping pills... I am quite hesitated to take sleeping pills, because I am afraid I will too depend on it. Thanks again, Levyx22.

Good Day to you elsMarie I am not too sure how serious is my sleeping disorder but I have this problem most of the time and hardly sleep well through the night. But I am so lucky that I do take nap in the afternoon together with my daughter, therefore I could take a rest for few hours. Sleeping alone is the best..at least do not disturbed by the snoring sound! Thanks for your tips...I guess I only could read books in the living hall and not on my bed, or else the light will definitely awake my girl.

Hello Rivengodwind, Totally agreed with you, change in daily routine and even occupation will affect the sleeping patterns. When I was still working, I also like you..I will go to bed about 10pm and wake up at about 8am. But with my current situation (as a stay at home mom)I have no choice than to do my personal stuff only when my girl has fall asleep at night. How I wish I have my me-time during day time, but she will definitely bother me.

Hello Kcoregon, good day to you. You too wake up in the middle of the night? That's really bad. But what to do right, me and you just can't sleep through the night like how others people did. For me, sometimes I awake because the loud snoring of my husband. What about you? I think different people has different method of getting themselves to fall asleep better. For me, at this moment, shutting my eyes really tied really worked! LOL. I thought tea will helps us freshen up? Good point Kcoregon, I guess my body just need 5-6 hours sleep, because I will feel energetic too the next morning although I slept at 2am and wakes up at 8am.

Hello Andi6520, I guess you love net surfing very much right? Actually me too. For me, sometimes I do think net surfing is the main culprit that makes me can't fall asleep. My mind will think of what I have seen from the computer screen when I am lying on the bed. I love to blog too, so I will think of what will be the interesting post to be blog when I can't sleep. I have heard the goodness of drinking milk before goes to bed, but I just dislike the taste of milk. So, this method is not suitable for me. Anyway, thanks again for your time in replying my discussion.

Hello there, I found a funny point from you. I mean I do appreciate for sharing it to me. For me, the more I think about getting to sleep, the more I can't sleep. So the only thing that worked for me is to close my eyes real tied! I have never try listen to music when I can't fall asleep. It is a very good way because it could help to relax my mind. Thanks!

Hello Mattan, I totally understand the frustration when could not fall asleep no matter how hard we tried. I have went through the situation for the past one year. For me, the more I hooked on with the television or computer screen, the more I could not fall asleep. In fact, these are also the reasons that makes me having my sleep disorder. Anyway, I appreciate for your comment and have a good day to you.
