Help! I cant sleep..?
Ive tried lots of different things, but nothings working...
Its wayyyy to hot for chamamile tea or warm milk..
Ive been taing AdvilPM, but there doing nothing!!
Also sex and vodka are not able to help me sleep at the moment either... ;)
So please what else can i do to get to sleep??
Answer:
melatonin is a really great, natural sleep remedy. also, poppy seed (the source of opium) can now be found in MANY herbal sleep blends. very awesome. my suggestion would be to go to a natural foods store (whole foods, sun harvest farms, central market), and spend a while browsing the sleep section. there are lots of teas and pills and most of the time the people that work there are knowledgable and can make suggestions as well. good luck!
p.s. lay off the vodka and sex for a while haha!
well something is bothering you. maybe your job? or a relationship? when you figure it out you'll be able to sleep. until then you to your doctors and ask for pills.
Melatonin works very well. No caffeine after 3PM or noon. Benedryl is what is put in most over the counter sleep aids.
I wish I can help you...But maybe you just got sumthan on your mind!!
hot shower before bed, will relax you as you cool down. Or Ambien I heard is really good.
a few days ago i had to sit there and close my eyes for like 2 and a half hours before i fell asleep. try humming very quietly to yourself and/ or singing to yourself, (a calming song would be nice) close your eyes and think of what you could do tomorrow. that's how i fall asleep. also try lunesta. its non-narchodic so you dont get grugged. but its powerfull enough to make you sleep very peacefully
I guess like what others had said, you have something on your mind that's troubling you.
That's why you are suffering from insomnia. :(
Perhaps you'd like to take a warm shower before sleep, and play relaxing music like jazz or classicals to calm yourself down.
Most importantly, have good sleeping habits.
Don't sleep randomly. Make yourself tired for the whole day, and i bet you will sleep soundly in the night.
That's ... no afternoon nap. Wake up early to have a healthy lifestyle.
And 3hours before your sleep, don't listen to mp3 or use your cellphone.
If all these are not to the help, perhaps you'd like to visit the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you. :)
Whatever it is, good luck and you'll be in my prayers.
You can try reading a really boring book before bedtime and in your bed...
You can try also making some exercise in the morning, like walking in the park, before going to work. This can help you to relax and have your long-dreamed sleep...
Also try to make some meditative sessions or prayer sessions, these can ease your mind of any stress and calm you down.
Don't drink coffee at least for 4 hours before bedtime and don't take sleep pills. You should be aware that those pills can be addictive.
Also, maybe the temperature is keeping you awake! Where I live is warm the whole year, and I need a fan in order to sleep!! Some people here use air conditioning, but I prefer a fan: it uses a lot less energy than air conditioning. Anyway, you can take a cool shower before bed and use some comfortable clothes.
And go ahead with your chamomile tea or your hot milk! Or drink the milk colder, not so hot if you prefer... I like it too, even if it is hot out there!! Or you can add a little bit of cold milk to your chamomile tea to make it colder... and put a little bit of sugar or honey... delicious!!
Hope you can sleep well now!
melatonin is excellent--usually you take 3 to 5 mg..take it about 45 minutes before you want to sleep..some take a timed release version..
breathe real (not synthetic) lavender essential oil (get at a health food store not a department store)..sprinkle it on your pillow, sheets. tissue etc and breathe deeply..this is especially good if mulling over problems and stress is keeping you aware.
Fill a sock with bulk herb lavender or hops and breathe.
Take Valerian root tincture...or hops or kava kava..or even chamomile made into a tincture..how o make a tincture..making your own tinctures saves you 90% of the cost..using bulk herbs often costing a dollar or so and 80 proof vodka..see this video for how easy it is to make them or buy them..herbpharm is a good organic/wildcrafted brand..which you should look for as they have 7-10 times the chemicals that cure or prevent disease over the ineffective commercial herbs often sold..here is a quick video that shows you how to make them and save money

Use a pillow to keep you legs raised while you sleep. It really works with no side effects.
Benedryl works pretty good. I also bought a herbal remedy at the $Dollar Tree called "Relax & Sleep". You take two at bedtime and they did fairly well.
