What are some good, effective methods to cure insomnia?
20 Aug
I get frequent bouts of insomnia, as I’m sure we ALL do, but it gets to the point on many nights (and there have been many for me, believe me) where I can’t fall asleep no matter how hard I try and yet I’m so damn tired. I just lay awake feeling restless. Does anybody know of a good way to help combat insomnia? I could really use the added sleep to boost my energy drive at work.
These are the practices you can use to improve the quality of your sleep and feel good again.
* music as a sleep aid
* natural sleep aids
* therapedic sleep products
Getting sleep in the correct quantities is a vital part of staying healthy. You don’t have to rely on a chemical insomnia sleep aid to do it either. In addition to the ideas above, consider using the Sleep So Good cream to get some all natural relief.
I’ve used meditation before. There are many ways to do it and there is no need for a spiritual backing to meditate.
Tylenol PM always worked for me though if I absolutely needed to sleep.
There are many possible reasons for insomnia, I used to suffer from it and really still do.
I guess you should make sure you’re getting enough sunlight during the day. Another solution is Melatonin pills. It’s a sleep harmone that tells your brain it’s time to sleep. I’ve been taking them for at least 10 years.
I’ve found a good eight hour nap usually cures it.
reading puts my butt out. if you lay still you still get 70 percent of the rest as if you were sleeping… "big black book of home remedies"
Listen to music till you fall asleep. That worked for me.
My best advice is to look up herbal remedies that are natural sleep aids. Go to a health food store or a holistic medicine place.
Look for "bedtime" herbal tea.
Eat "comfort food", or food that you especially enjoy. A meal will help make you tired.
Warm milk might work.
Or try sleeping with an extra blanket, the added warmth might do the trick.
Another idea, read a very boring book and try to read as much of it as you can. You will get tired if the book is boring enough.
I have the same problem I just went through an insomnia spell for the past couple of days what I did to break it was in the evening I did exercises and the took a warm bath and drank a nice cup of warm tea that helped me.
If you want you can also try a sleep aid.
Maybe u should learn some ways to overcome your insomnia problem at my profile.
There are lots of methods you can try such as meditation. You say you ‘try’ to sleep, that’s your first mistake. It’s not possible to ‘try’ and sleep with the conscious mind, it’s the subconscious that knows how to sleep.
Try progressive relaxation when in bed and avoid anything too stimulating before bedtime.
No-one teaches us to sleep properly when we are young and thats the problem. Modern society seems to push pills as the answer..when its often not the case at all.
Sleeping is all to do with the brain, and sometimes people brains need retraining to go into "deep sleep" so you feel like you haven’t been awake all night.
