Sleeping issues.

That is so true! :) So far, I don't feel any uncomfortable in my room. But, what really bothers me is that I can't sleep if my feet doesn't feel comfortable or if it doesn't have any pillows in it.

That cute guy is my son my lady

My lady, First, who's that cute guy in your picture? Uhmmm. I make sure, before I sleep I've done everything and trying not to think too much.. But still, my mind doesn't stop thinking. It keeps wandering and I can't seem to stop it! :/

Oh! :) He's really cute. I thought he's some kind of a Korean actor! :P

I'm reading a book before I sleep. It doesn't work! I'll try with the bible. That seems to be effective! Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello,maybe you have much work to do before you go to bed,cos the mind will keep processing that work and try to think of how to solve that problem untill it does that am sorry but you will have sleepless night.my sugestion is that maybe you should try to round up all what you are doing 3 or 2 hours before you go to bed and during that time read a book and do some little exercise this will make your body tired and surely you will sleep well.hope it help.

Actually, reading and exercising before bed will keep you up. You really should only use the bed for sleeping if you have trouble falling asleep, this includes watching t.v. (though for me, I like to have the t.v. set to "sleep" and on a low volume because the white noise sort of lulls me to bed.) So you really shouldn't read as it excites your mind, and you shouldn't exercise right before because that will actually make you LESS sleepy in the short term. You'll be pumped full of endorphins. Try to exercise earlier in the day so you can feel exhausted later. If you would like to try a natural sleeping aid, I've found that Melatonin works for me. You can find it with other vitamins and supplements at the store and I always wake feeling rested when using it. I used to take several different sleeping pills but woke groggy and like I didn't sleep any the next day. Melatonin is a cheap, safe alternative that works very well for me. I share your pain though, while I still can't fall asleep at the drop of a hat like my fiance, I've gotten a lot better. I used to have horrible insomnia like you describe: lying awake for hours not being able to shut your mind down. However, I'm much better now and I think it's because I have a lot less stress in my life. There are a lot of things you probably wouldn't even think of that can cause problems falling asleep. Don't feel alone though, it's much more common for women to have trouble falling asleep than men because we always seem to be thinking about something. What I do is not even bother trying to sleep until I know I'm tired and then I just daydream until I fall asleep. This helps me because I'm not thinking about all the crap that's going on in life, I'm just having a pleasant daydream about whatever and sort of like how you always wake up in the middle of a good dream, I always fall asleep in the middle of my good daydream. Good luck, and I hope you start sleeping better.

No coffee for me at all before going to bed. Mom won't let me though.. and yes, exercise is really essential.

Hmm. Making myself tired? Like, I think I should do a lot of walking everyday or maybe do some stuffs that's really tiring. It might work! Oh. Good luck to me then!

That's what am doing for a year now and still, it doesn't work! :| ME too, since high school!

I tire myself in front of the lappy I don't do walking. Insomnia has been my long problem since highschool or college.

I don't drink milk at all. Its like my system doesn't accept it and oh, I'm lazy reading books but, at least I am now having the interest on reading some of them now. Well, I'll be reading it then and let's see if it works! :)

I tried milk before and it also didn't work for me... and reading books doesn't work because I end up wanting to finish the book and made me more alive and awake instead of feeling sleepy... now, lappy is helping me.. I just hope I won't have my eyes suffer so much.. I'm wearing specs so I hope it will be okay.

If only our place isn't that dangerous, I would definitely have a walk every night if its one of the reasons for me to have a good night sleep! Unfortunately not. But, will take your suggestion, my friend.

I'm really stressed and so far, I don't experience migraine when I can't sleep. You are right, I need a peace of mind.

I told my mom that maybe I should take sleeping pills for me to be able to go to sleep peacefully but, she refused because I might not be able to wake up anymore. Thank you.. I'll be taking some research about Ambien! :)

Maybe that's one of the reason I can't go to sleep. I don't exercise much! :/ Thanks for waking me up to reality. Means a lot!

But when I am sleepless last night, I still can't sleep the next night. Milk doesn't work for me at all! I dunno what will lead me to a peaceful sleep.

I've tried that few days back and it didn't work! :/ I think am really a night person.

Actually, I don't feel any kind of weakness by morning. I still have much energy to do my chores. Is it good? Actually, I don't feel anything bad in my body but, its my mom who's so worried about me not having enough sleep.

Many of you suggested milk do works. But, honestly I don't drink milk and I guess its time to give it a chance. I hope it works!

Oh. Like you, I dunno how to meditate! Might as well as looking at other myLotters here. They might be able to help you too! Hope our minds rest, when we really to have a good night sleep one of these days.
