Answer 9

Well some people drink milk before they go to sleep . But at night I guess that makes you go to the toilet. Maybe you should try taking some medicine that makes you calm , and you fall asleep. I had trouble falling asleep too. But at that time I was feeling very nervous , so my parents got me some medicine and it helped me

maybe you need to not drink so much fluids four hours before time of sleep

also don't drink alcohol (as this inhibit sleep patterns)

caffeine products (soda, coffee, energy drinks() in the after noon may cause sleep problems

sleep apnea..have a sleep study if you snore (obstructive breathing)

see a ENT to check you for a deviated septum?

keep bedroom dark and not hot (lighted alarms clocks or dials or night light can cause sleep interruptions)  

use bedroom for only sleep and s*x (no reading or TV or ping pong)_eating? don't eat four hurs before time of sleep!

have a physical as this is a sign of diabetes..blood sugar could be high as this is a sympton of night sweats and exessive thirst

Answer 21

yoga, meditation, soft music, reading, anything that relaxes your body and lets it know it's time for sleep.

for the nightmares you might want to look into finding why they are happening- try and pick apart the images, see if there is something in your life that might be the cause of the nightmares.
