*Peaches* Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think its more to do with I'm thinking and worrying about certain things too much. I'm desperately in need of a good sleep but just as I do manage to drop off I jump and cycle the starts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC33 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 the best thing for insomnia is drink around 250/300ml of Organic Unpasteurised [unheated] Goats Milk before going to bed http://www.red23.co.uk/Raw-Unpasteurised-Organic-Biodynamic-Goats-Milk_p_393.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob23 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I tend to find that it is thinking about, and trying to remember, all the things I need to do that keeps me up at night. The best thing I've found to help with it is making a to do list (keep a pen and paper near your bed), at least then if I think of something whilst I'm trying to sleep then I can write it don't and forget about it till the morning. I then don't have to remember all the things I need to do and you have the satisfaction of crossing them off when they are done. The other day when I couldn't get to sleep I got up and read a book for half an hour until I felt sleepy enough and tried to sleep again which seemed to work. Also, you could try whisky before bed. Just the act of sitting and slowly drinking a good whisky before bed can sometimes prepare me for sleep. I guess it will work with other spirits but might not be something to do every night.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Try Melatonin, I think it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan22 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 For the last few months my insomnia has gradually become worse, to the point I'm sleeping only 2 hours a night some nights. I feel fine in myself, but I know this can't continue. I've tried herbal and over the counter tablets but nothing has worked. I'm reluctant to go to the Drs because they'd just give me sedatives again and I don't feel safe taking them. Any suggestions would be wonderfull, but I can't stand Lavendar so thats one out Melatonin is fantastic. You can buy it from an online company called Biovea. It knocks you out like a treat and you wake up with no hangover or sluggishness feeling like you have had the sleep of a baby! It is a chemical copy of the sleep hormone which is released by the Pineal gland in response to darkness. Melatonin is the sedative and Seratonin the stimulant.

shoo gal Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Paul McKenna's book 'I can make you sleep' is really good for tips and it comes with a cd to listen to at night, which works for me most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
