I heard these health tips on TV this morning, particularly on insomnia. I am insomniac so I got interested but am afraid I fail in several of the tips. A few of the tips are: have a regular sleeping schedule (sadly, I don't. My sleeping schedule is erratic); never go to bed when you are not sleepy and just hope for sleep to come (i force my sleep by going to bed even if I am not sleepy and the result is I toss and turn ending up as wide awake as ever ); stop any work you do two hours before sleep time to prepare self for sleep (worse! I stop computed when I feel dizzy and cross-eyed. Then I go to bed!) How about you mylotters? Do you have problem sleeping or do you happen to do the things given as health tips above? Please share what you do to make yourself sleep. Thanks in advance.

Gosh i do the same as you do. I never go to bed before i am sleepy and i am usually on my computer till then. Sometimes even if i am feeling sleepy, i have my handsfree plugged into my ears and i listen to my favorite songs while i am busy dozzing! I have a highly unbalanced sleeping schedule and i usually sleep in parts (haha)! Like i sleep for 3 hours, again get up, do some work that i left incomplete, again go to sleep and it goes on like that. I guess, i need to improve my schedule after reading this.

I don't usually have a problem sleeping but I do have a problem getting up. I have an important interview tomorrow so I'm setting my alarm off thrice, yeah, that's thrice, that many alarms just to wake me up. I'm usually a lazy person and have remained that way until now.

All of that tips are true with me. I don't have regular sleeping time cause works sometimes have to be done in extended time. I go to bed even when I'm not sleepy cause I'm worried that I may not have sleep at all. I work on extended time and will not sleep until it's done (half done sometimes). Doing all of these I guess are the reasons why I am an insomniac !
