myLot reputation of 97/100. kitkat1 (1127)3 years ago

In the last three months since i have started working out and healthy eating i have not been able to sleep well at all. I blamed it on the sudden changes i made to my life style but it has not got any better. I do not believe in taking medication for sleeping but does anybody know any natural things for sleep like the warm milk theory which by the way did work it was gross. I like my milk cold lol. Found that out the hard way.

This is odd....when i exercise, I actually sleep more, and better! How soon after working out do you go to sleep? I know from experience that one will be too pumped up to sleep if the exercise occurred just an hour before bedtime, or less. I would certainly not exercise right before bedtime. Otherwise, you could try reading, melatonin tea, or just deep meditation in order to fall asleep. I also would be hesitant to take any kind of medication for sleep, especially since it seems that you had no trouble falling asleep prior to starting your exercise regimen.

Well it does take your body time to adjust as it must of been such a long time since you exercised and ate the proper food that it is taking time for your body to adjust. Well instead of drinking milk you could always have a mild herbal drink and this could help you relax more so that you can go to sleep.

I always thought exercise was supposed to help you sleep better. You don't work out right before bed time, do you? You might want to try learning some yoga or relaxation exercises to do close to bed time to help you relax.

That's strange? I would have thought you would be sleeping even better. Well I know you said no medication however I find that a Tylenol PM is the best way to get a good nights sleep and it's not habit forming. I would also suggest a bath by candle light right before bed and a cup of chamamile tea.
