Answer 10

benadryl.  you won't be drowsy in the morning with it.  No tv/computer/etc. 1-2 hours before bed time.  Try mellowing out and reading.  Sometimes a glass of milk helps me.  Relax and breathe.  Take a shower.

Answer 11

sorry, can't help you. your clock is turned around and might stay that way. don't fight it.

I worked 3rd shift for years and am a night owl. I do housework at night, write out bills at night, play games, talk to my sis (she is a night owl too) just about everything that can be done without sunlight and businesses being open. I even shop online at night :o)

Answer 12

Tylenol pm, but its habit forming and the side effect is that you will hav a harder time sleeping the next night and you tend to wake up groggy.  Use it for a few days, then reduce the dose and ween off.

Answer 13

my hubby works nights too and we have three kids that make a lot of noise so he just stays awake longer and that usually works...and ear plugs.  

Answer 14

benadryl is your best bet try a 25mg if it doesn't work a 50mg will do it

Answer 15

Go to Longs, Wal-Mart, wherever you pick up your sundries and get some VALERIAN ROOT. You will never have trouble sleeping again!  They are a natural sleep and dream aid, and if you love dreams, you will LOVE this!  I take two, and it is good for my body weight (Big) and when I want to really zonk out, I take three.  Try one first, and see what happens, then increase if you feel comfortable.  It's a miracle aide!  And the dreams are incredible!  Try it, you'll like it.  It will take a bit to get used to it, so give it time.  Sweet Dreams!

Answer 16

i would suggest getting calcium chew ables or drinking a glass of milk or 2 before you go to sleep!

Answer 17

Another thing is to refrain from drinking caffeinated beverages, and/or coffee and tea AFTER that time mark.

Dimming the lights and reading a book while lying in bed, just before you intend to sleep, is also advisable.

Taking a warm bath/shower just before your bedtime should also help.

Turning off your mobile, TV, CD player/radio and other distractions, at bedtime.

You may also want to meditate for at least a couple of minutes by concentrating on your in and out breath.

Do not eat anything heavy 2-3 hours before your intended sleep time, and either have a vegetable soup, or a light snack instead.

Drinking lots of water throughout the day, will ease your system into relaxation and detoxification.

If you still toss and turn, then get up and do something around the house/room, and then try to sleep again minutes later.

Answer 18
