Natural ways to fall asleep.?

Question

I'm having a really bad sleeping schedule. Asleep at 3-5 Am awake at 3-5 Pm. What are some natural ways for me to fall asleep before midnight so I wake up before noon. By the way NO pills at all I don't care if there natural or not I'm not taking any pills.

Answer 1

So I guess melatonin is out of the question. Okay how about warm milk, chamomile tea, setting an alarm so you don't sleep til noon and forcing yourself to stay awake so you want to sleep at night. I also like to do this it never fails to put me to sleep. Lay in bed and start with your feet and consciously tell yourself to relax all the muscles in your toes, then up to you middle of your foot, them your ankle. Keep going all the way up your body. Even your eye muscles and your face muscles, until you reach the top of your head. Then start at your feet again. I have never made it twice through before I was asleep. I don't think we realize how tense we are.

Answer 2

I try to breathe calmly with one hand on my heart and one on my belly.  Sounds like your circadian rhythm is off if you are sleeping that long and late. Set an alarm and make yourself wake up one hour earlier each day.  Don't nap during the day.  Exercise upon waking.  You have to be tired both mentally and physically in order to sleep.

Answer 3

I’m married with a wife who has trouble falling asleep.  My fail-proof remedy?  A full body massage followed by a hot round of nookie.  She’ll be drifting to sweet dreamland afterward (and wake up in a VERY good mood).

Other than that, all of these routines are also effective for falling into a deep sleep…

1. Be active throughout the day.  Tire yourself out.

2. Try not to drink any caffeinated drinks during the day, especially afternoon onwards.

3. Don’t exercise at night.  You’ll be charged up with adrenaline and you’ll be wired for hours.

4. Speaking of wired, try not to watch TV or do other stimulating activities around bedtime for the same reason.  You need your “downtime.”  In fact, if your TV is in your bedroom, I recommend you take it out.

5. Listen to soft music before going to bed.  Being a Christian, I enjoy slow praise songs the most.  Instrumentals are also good.

6. Prayer and/or count-your-blessings reflection/meditation.  Going to bed with an attitude of thankfulness can spell the difference between a sound sleep or tossing and turning.

7. Reading a spiritual or inspirational book also helps.

8. Stretching.  I’m serious here.  Going through a relaxing full-body stretching routine can calm you down like few things can.

9. Drink warm milk.

I hope this helps.  :)

Answer 19

melatonin is naturally occurring in our bodies.As we age, melatonin decreses.

Taking melatonin is safe and effective not to mention it is a antioxidant.

You say no pills but thats all I got.

Answer 20

The most natural way I know is to tire yourself out during the day. If you are waking up at 3 PM tomorrow, go for a jog, a bike ride or some other activity for about 2 hours. When you get home, take a nice shower, avoid the computer or tv, or whatever it is that is keeping you awake. Try to just sit down and listen to some music, perhaps. Get into bed around 11, and if you did it correctly, you should fall asleep smoothly.

Answer 21

Your sleep is dictated by YOUR body clock--you need months of a routine--same time each day you should get up and get ready for the day--eat 3 meals a day and 6 hours before the intended sleep time--no coffee or soda--no rigorous activity--read a book and find quiet things to do. Your body will regulate it 's internal clock. Try to avoid stress and worry, too. Don't use pills during the day--caffeine is a big part of pills and food--avoid it by reading ingredient labels.
