I have sleep problem . I'm insomniac !

I also have insomnia... the worst time for to fall asleep sometimes is 4AM. But nowadays, it became 2AM. I am still trying to sleep by 1AM so that my body and mind can easily adapt on that time at least. Usually when we have a lot of things in mind it is hard to sleep. I think you should try drinking milk although I know it won't work sometimes. Try to avoid sleeping in the afternoon so that your body clock will eventually change. I have experienced to have no sleep at all and the next day I have to go out with my friends. It was like I did not sleep for two straight days, I even tried staring at the fan but it didn't work before. Fortunately at least I can sleep by 1, 2 or 3AM.

The EFT Manual (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques), this system help for different problems! I was skeptic, but try and it really work.

I think that the most important thing that you have to do is to try and make sure that you get yourself into a routine that you can stick to, as this means that your body would be used to getting up and going to bed at the right times. If you can't get to sleep, then don't just lie in bed, as this can be incredibly counter productive and mean that you soon learn to associate your bedroom with sleeping problems rather than as somewhere where you are able to relax and have a good peaceful night of sleep.

I think willpower is important. One has to get a good routine going and have the willpower to live your life. Don't let others live your life for you. Listening to soft music when in bed might relax you. Maybe also something repetitious like the waves of the ocean or the wind blowing or something else that is soft and soothing. Or do something practical like getting Bible recordings and listening to that. At least if you still can't sleep you are listening to something up-building and useful.

Hi.. i think is not good because you can't sleep...What i can do is to think positive when you are going to sleep.. Think that you sleeping,and don't allow those negative thoughts..because that may cause sometimes

I'd suggest you prepare your brain for sleep. Remove all diversions and attention-grabbers near your bed like gadgets because they are just giving you all the distractions for you not to pursue sleep. Use your bed for sleeping alone and when you can't sleep, get out of bed. Do not try to force yourself to sleep cause turning and tossing around bed can just worsen the anxiety that you're feeling. You can leave the room and do something that is relaxing, appeasing and pacifying like reading, drinking milk or a caffeine-free tea, taking a warm bath, or heeding to a soothing jazz music. Then when you're sleepy, you can now go back to sleep. One of the surefire recipe for insomnia that I know is when you have a clock or a watch near you. It's when you hear and see the clock ticking and time passing so fast that makes you more anxious and couldn't settle you to sleep because you're distressed that the time you need to wake up is near. You can have an alarm clock at your room but you have to place it somewhere where you cannot see it. You also have to challenge yourself to remove all self-defeating thoughts before sleep and do breathing exercises. I hope these help. Happy MyLotting to you!

I have the same problem, usually when there is something on my mind that is worrying me, my doctor told me I have to put my body into a sleep routing, go to bed at the same time every night, have my bedroom for sleep not watching TV or reading, and set my mind to relax and she said the body gets used to the routine...

Firstly, you have to detect your problems for not sleeping. Do you have problems burden you? Find a solution and you can sleep afterwards.

You need to know the reason why you cannot sleep. If you have problems, don't keep thinking about it it won't be resolved when you are stress. Take sometime to resolve it or have a friend to talk with who can help you with. take a bath in the evening, eat ripe banana and drink a lukewarm milk, it's a good downer. Hope this will help you.

Don't try to think much when going to sleep. Just concentrate into sleeping and emptying your mind. The more you think about the next day or the previous day, the more you will have trouble sleeping. I used to get this problem, but I solved it by emptying my mind before sleeping or making myself tired so I can fall asleep fast.

i have not slept at night in over a year, i have no idea why i just cant. i got put on the med xanax for my insomnia and anxiety. the meds will knock me out during the day even just taking half my dosage, but at night i can take 3 or4 times my dosage and cant sleep. :( if you do find anything that works please let me know. best of luck to you

I also have problems with sleeping. I am actually so sleepy now while typing my response lol. I do not know how deal deal with deal. I have tried everything. I tried to drink warm milk before going to bed, but nothing changed. I tried to clean my room to be tired, but I still did not feel asleep. I don't know why I have this problem. It's not like I have problems or thinking something while in bed. My mind is blank but I still can't sleep.

Insomniacs have to moderate their lifestyle if they have to overcome the issue and get good sleep to stay healthy. A number of reasons may cause loss of sleep, the key ones being too much stress and worry, indiscretion in habits especially overdose of tea and coffee, lack of proper physical activity etc. The key is to get some fresh air & calm down the mind & body. Rectification of wrong breathing habits is one major correction required. Every day, practice simple breathing techniques twice for at least five to seven minutes.

I do experience that.Sometimes I'm having a hard time to sleep.Thanks to internet,it really helps a lot.

Most of our health problems are easy to correct as long as we know how to do it. I have been in contact with gnld.com for many years and my health problems came from lack of right nutrition. So I have learned a lot by listening for the information they give on webinars and meetings. Of course the best thing we could do would be to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid all junk foods, especially white sugar and white flour, but everyone is not always ready to do that kind of change. So many choose the food supplements that are made of food without synthetic ingredients. Even if we don´t buy any of the supplements, it can be good to go to the site for some advice. One thing we need to learn is that if we are too acid, everything in the body stops working as it should. So we can choose vegetables to get Calcium and Magnesium and sunshine to get vitamin D. Magnesium helps to sleep better. Another thing is that we need good bacteria to be able to digest our food properly. It can help to use fermented food natural yogurt. If we take care of our health, we will most likely sleep better.

Hmmmm, like what some of the respondents have posted already, you should try to alter your schedule, especially when you get to sleep in the afternoon. When you get to sleep in the afternoon, you end up having energy again in the evening which makes you unable to sleep through the night. I guess that really takes a lot of effort but I believe that it is truly possible. On another note, I do have an alternate suggestion when it comes to people with in insomnia. Perhaps you would be interested in trying it. It is something you put within your pillow and it'll help you get sleepy more or less.

I developed insomnia in 1975 and have not had one normal sleep since. I have Primary Insomnia I. Some things that have helped me through the years is hypnotherapy, meditation and massage. But I still suffer terribly with my insomnia. You need to consult with a Sleep Disorders Specialist. But first, you should probably visit your Primary Care Physician. Be careful about sleeping pills. There are side effects and they are habit forming. In order to cope with my insomnia, I have been forced to make changes in my entire life. I have had to reduce stress to a minimum. I can only work p.t. I have had to limit personal relationships. I live very simply and spend a lot of time being quiet and alone. And still my insomnia continues to be a terrible problem.

you have a problem like what my girlfriend has. it really disturb i think. you cant get enough rest and when morning come, you dont get fresh body, you can thinking clearly because you are still tired. i think you sjould trying to go sauna. maybe it can relaxing you from so many problem that burdened you. maybe one of reason make you get insomnia is too much thinking your problem. you should try to not thinking too hard now. just trying to thinking small thing. maybe it will help yoou much.

you said you sleep for 3-4 hours in day time after taking lunch and sometimes even more then that.firstly you should stop sleeping after lunch as it is the main reason behind your insomnia at night.your mind and body has already taken a rest of 3-4 hours in day time and your brain is active at night then.how can you feel sleepy then?

Maybe you have too much stress in your life. Try meditating or doing light yoga before you go to sleep so it puts your mind into ease.Also you can try drinking different calming teas that will relax your body and mind and help you falling asleep. Good luck! :)
