I love to sleep but find it difficult to fall asleep.

When I was working during the night I found it hard to sleep during the day. Until the time that I can sleep in a normal way during evening. For me based on my experience, I felt relax and drink milk few minutes before sleep. Vitamins can also a great help

I am also having problem with insomnia. Working on graveyard shift for many years gives me hard time to sleep at night. It seems my system got used to sleep on the day and stay awake at night. Some times I am too sleepy at night- but my mind keep awake and that gives me a headache

I have insomnia problems from time to time. It usually has to do with something on my mind and I can't shut it off. I know how horrific this can be especially if you have to get up early to go to work. What I have been doing for a long time now is I will read part of a book that I am reading at that time. Then when I'm getting sleepy I will say my prays. I end up falling asleep sometimes in the middle of my prays that is how good it works for me. You seemed to have tried so many things maybe this one will help you.

Hey, as for me, i never using any chemical sleeping pill product, sometime i using sleeping pill but its herbal, so i think its safer, i don't know if this kind of pill is available in your country too or not, but it made from some leaf of some plant (i forget the name of the plant) and i think this herbal pills works better than the chemical based pills.

Try to do some type of exercise before you go to sleep at night to make yourself sleepy.

yeah even we are so sleepy we cant sleep easily and it takes time,especially if we have some problems or we are worrying about something in our life,we cant fall a sleep easy, and by the way i dont think sleeping pills is a good idea. i think you can try listening a slow and relaxing music and then stop thinking many things and concantrate on only sleeping, happy mylotting peace

I also hate insomnia because I was there before. About how the treatment has done I don't remember but I didn't took any pills. Only I did was to make myself busy at day try to calm myelf and learn to relaxed. Really annoying but we can't do nothing. Pills is not good advice on the first hand. As I observed to myself why I had insomnia was my stressed. Deep thinking especially if I had unsolved problems. And I am also sad today because I begin to stress again.. :(

When I wasn't pregnant and experienced this, reading a book and drinking milk would solve my problem. Now, that I'm pregnant and almost every night am struggling to sleep, nothing seems to solve my problem. So I'd love to hear advises on your post as well.

I think it is better to go to a doctor if you have sleeping problems. Not sleeping for more than 24 hours is not good. My friends and family thought I also had insomnia before. But then I just started work late and went home so late so of course I usually slept at 3 or 4 am. Normally, most start at 8 in the morning, mine was the opposite. I started my day at 2 in the afternoon and would be home around 11:00 in the evening. A lot of my friends and acquaintances thought I was suffering from insomnia coz my schedule when I am on a break would remain the same. I would feel so tired if i don't follow it and still end up sleeping so late. Never take the pill without going the doctor first if I were you.

Fortunately, I fall asleep quite well, unless something more compley is on my mind. Have you tried listening to slow, ambient music before going to bed? Or you could also visit an expert on sleeping and see if they can offer you any remedies.

Maybe you can make yourself tired by doing excerise. Then you even have no time to think too much. Just falling sleep quickly.

yes insomnia is a disease that sucks, I also have the disease. when I had to go to school, I could only sleep for 1 ½ hours, it's very annoying, when my eyes like school less blind eye: D every time you try jogging during evening or early morning, and avoid napping. sleeping pills can make you sleep but over time your stomach is not too strong to digest sleeping pills.

I think you are right that do not start taking sleeping pills, it's hard to get rid of , did you try to do some sports? that will make your body tired and sleep easier.

I am not sure as I mostly sleep well at night. Maybe green tea or a hot chocolate or a hot soak in the bath. I tend to get sleep with all either of these things.
