I can't sleep!?

Question

please help me... can anyone know what can make me very sleappy beside alcohol... maybe some unusual methode or some cocktail?

Answer 1

First off do what the guy says above, exercise and also stop telling yourself you can't sleep, the more you over think sleep the more sometimes you are like a dog chasing its tail because your anxiety builds. Try a warm or hot shower turn down the lights early and no computer or TV after a certain time. Make sure your room is not all cluttered up and that it is dark, use a reading light and get a book  or magazine that is easy reading,nothing exciting just something to look at by a reading light.  Plus I love Sleepy Time tea by celestial , but other tea company's carry different ones for sleep too. And the scent of lavender (use essential oil) is great to put a drop on the underside of your pillow_only if you care for the scent won't work if it turns you off or annoys you. Also go for some message therapy it helps too.

Answer 2

Aside from exercising (which helps to tire you out, but make sure you stop at least 3 hours before bed time), there are a few natural supplements that can help. There's Melatonin, Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine, Passionflower, and Scullcap (an herb).

You can try any one of those to help you sleep naturally

Answer 6

Ya I hear ya! I was like that I couldnt sleep. there are a few things you can try

1) try having a sleep time tea about 30 minutes before bed

2) there is a natural sleeping pill called Melatonin The brand that I use is SISU

Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland from the amino acid tryptophan. The synthesis and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light, suggesting the involvement of melatonin in circadian rhythm and regulation of diverse body functions. Levels of melatonin in the blood are highest prior to bedtime.

Hope that helps

Answer 7

I used to suffer from insomnia, probably because I was a computer nerd playing world of warcraft.  However, i cut that c**p and started going to the gym six days a week, and I fall asleep within 10 minutes.  So in short, go to the gym, if you do, seek medical help, excercise depletes yo energy.

Answer 8
