Sleeping Troubles

[Yasmine_Kelly]

I have trouble sleeping at night. I barely ever sleep and when I do it's not until 5am and then I have to get up in an hour for school. During holidays I get more sleep but it's still only 2 or 3 each day. I need help on ways I can get to sleep when I go to bed at 10pm or things I can do so I'm not so bored (or tempted)

Exercise, lots of it.

Also something as simple as reading a chapter or two of a good book can often help people to relax, so that can then quickly doze off afterwards.

I've been sleeping badly myself for over 2 years since the death of my husband. I am a bit of a night owl, and know if I go to bed before midnight I will never sleep. I always watch something light, or read for the last hour before retiring, then to help me to drop off I do something strange, which is to hum to myself. This usually works, and I can get up to 6 hours sleep. I don't have the worry of having to get up early, so can simply lay and relax for a while I the morning. My only suggestion is to not go to bed so early, but wait until your eyes are nearly closing. Good luck!

You really really need to get help with your issues. Is there no one you can trust?

Listening to story tapes with ear things on are the only way to get to sleep.
I read for half an hour, then my tapes go on --bliss.

Reading works for me and exercise during the day. I think your insomnia is likely due to the other issues you've mentioned and once you get on the way to solving them, other things will fall into place.

Get Ashwagandha Churna from medical store. Take it in the nite before going to bed with milk.
Add 1tbsp in 1 cup of milk and drink it.
You will get nice sleep. I was facing same problem but now i am ok.
