I got it to where I don't have to get up in the morning to go to work. Eases the pressure. And I end up getting up like 8:30 anyway. If you have trouble getting to sleep it could be a lot of things like caffeine or watching things on TV before you go to bed that excite or frighten you or not taking time to wind down and do something calming before bedtime. I also usually wake up in the middle of the night and do internet biz and fun for a few hours and then go back to bed. Not everyone has that option I spose.
My insomnia has mostly gone away. But it used to be so many things. Noise, light, temp, thoughts, stress, sheet wrinkles, cramps, not being able to get comfortable. It used to take me a minimum 2 hours to get to sleep. Now I can lay in bed and be dead to the world within minutes. It went away from just being forced to sleep in situations that were far from ideal, I adapted. Drugs work wonders as well. If my mind is running too much to sleep, I'll take some tylenol pm or allergy pills.
Same here. Then I found out I had depression and now I'm gradually able to sleep well. It could also be anxiety, worriesome thoughts, etc. I suggest you read before you sleep because it knocks you out within minutes.
I am hugely insomniac. I sleep maybe 4 hours in 48. It is just ridiculous. I've tried everything, including sleep laboratories. It seems nothing works so I just enjoy it now.
I think being really physically active is the only thing that's ever worked for me. Especially if you're plagued with anxiety and lay awake thinking about stuff like I do. I'm jobless and in a new environment now and I can really tell I need to move around more than ever before based on the fact that I can't sleep.
I had insomnia before. Some says I have to drink milk before bedtime but it didn't worked for me. I have read from a book that one of the cause of sleeplessness is a calcium deficiency. Until one day something good just happened to me that made me happy and I feel relaxed. To my surprise, I slept well and sound that night. It gave me an idea. I may not have an insomnia but the stress that I feel is the disturbance that created my insomnia. Maybe you are just emotionally disturbed or stressed which causes you to have a hard time sleeping. YOu have to resolve your issues to clear your mind from worrying. If you do, I think your insomnia will just stop.
I've suffered from insomnia for as long as I can remember. I'm extremely hyper and so it takes quite a lot to get myself tired. I find that changing your sleeping schedule really does help enormously. I make myself go to bed at night and get up in the morning at a set time every day, and I limit myself to eight hours of sleep only. Being physically active definitely helps as well. Take a jog or a long walk, garden, cook, practice yoga... All of these things help. Meditation right before sleeping (but while still alert) also sends me into a tranquil, relaxed state. It normally only takes me 10-15 minutes until I'm ready to sleep.
i get really high before i go to bed or else i keep myself up all night thinking i do that because i dont want to take sleeping pills i dont really like pills at all go figure
I'm at least partially insomniac. I've never gone to bed and actually fallen asleep within minutes. That's never been me. It's always taken me at least a couple of hours, and it seems the older I get the worse it gets. But then there's so much stuff going on in my head all the time. Being a musician, I hear music in my head constantly. I also think about various other things as well. I'm not necessarily too physically active, but I guess my brain is pretty active or something. And the way I "treat" this? You don't want to know...
