Forumzguy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've been experiencing this problem for quite sometimes now. I have trouble falling asleep. I would go to bed at 10 and 2 hours later, I would still awake. I try to close my eyes shut but thoughts just going in my mind. How do I make myself sleep easier? Link to comment
Buttterfly Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 meditation helps.. although hard at the beginning and it would wind you up if you do it the first time at night, and with the intention of calming down dramatically.. for me deep breathing works - count to 10 or whatever when you inhale and try exhaling on a longer period, that wuld definitely settle your mind and relax you, do a set of 10 (but do them all) read somehting... have a glass of milk...

I don't know about that cuz i don't like to read... Link to comment
Buttterfly Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 that's the idea. reading (too much on a sitting ) will eventually bore you and tire you Link to comment
sidehop Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I wouldn't eat two hours before bed time and also avoid any TV & stimulating your eyes an hour before bed time. It excites the brain and some people have hard time falling asleep. Reading a book helps me. When I was small a warm cup of milk did a wonderful job. Have you tried melatonin? It's all natural, it may take few weeks (or never) but some people have benefited rather than taking prescription drugs (unless it's really affecting your life). Also your bed and pillows could play a big role in the way you sleep. If you wake up with any pains or just feeling tired you may want to invest in a good mattress. It's worth every penny. For us Tempur-pedic has been the best investment we've made. We definitely fall asleep faster...the only downside is it's too comfortable to wake up in the morning! Link to comment
nontoxicglue Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you wake up earlier and exercise during the day, it'll also make you fall asleep faster. Link to comment

paranoiac543 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oh. random episodes of insomnia is normal. You could take melatonin pills or something until it passes. Link to comment
