What do you do when you can not sleep at night ?

Hello,aladnzane,i seldome suffer from insomnia,when i cannot sleep at the night time,i will have a hot water bathm ,then i will drink a bottle of warm milk,after that,i will have a masaage on the front of my head and two sides of my eyes,it really works well and i will feel sleepy after that and fall asleep soon,may be you can try whether it works for you or not. Good luck.

1. The oldest..count sheep 2. read something really boring which would put you to sleep 3. Listent to some soothing music (always a sleep inducer for me) 4. Do some meditation - it will calm your nerves.

well sir, u knw i am having this problem so much ...i dnt knw how to get rid of that...but usually when i dnt have a sleep so i just listen songs and read horror books becoa then i became frightned and cover myself under the blanket and sleep....lol

Well I work on mylot or read a book if that doesn't work I watch the late night talk shows until I get sleepy.

Well sleeping pills are no good, thats for sure. You will feel more tired in the morning. I usually lay in bed and watch TV, and try to chill so I don't think about anything. When I do lay my head down. I try to think about nice things. Humm... pehaps you could fantize about something ( and no I didn't neccesaraly mean a woman lol). I bet halfway through you will fall asleep. It distacts the mind from everyday life and problems.

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm in the same boat. With all the advice I gather from the forums, I'm trying hot milk, hot bath, prayer and mediation now. Can't say it is already working. I'm still at it and it's work in progress. If it worked, I shall report in this forum. Good luck! http://stopinsomnia.blogspot.com

Hi aladnzane. I too have trouble sleeping and have tried many different things. Here are some things that have helped me at times: 1. If I'm thinking about a task I have to do or should have done I do it. If I am stressing about balancing the check book or cleaning the house, I get out of bed and do it. It usually lets me relax enough to get back to sleep. 2. I try to take a warm bath before bed. 3. Use calming fragrances like vanilla and lavender to soothe you. 4. Play calm or instrumental music, whatever your fancy. 5. Read a book. 6. Pray 7. Get a sleep schedule set. If you try to go to bed at the same time every night and follow a routine, it helps your body to set to sleep mode. 8. Try a non-habit forming sleep aid. I hope some of this helps. Good night and sleep tight!
