pandemonkium Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Usually i'm a good sleeper with regular sleep patterns, but on and off for the last few months i'm struggling to fall asleep. I can't come up with a logical reason for this and it is starting to concern me. It is also affecting my work as i'm knackered throughout the day.Even as im typing this i've just spent 5 hours tossing and turning n i've got to be up at 6.30am for work. Wondered if anyone had any suggestions ? No problem if not, i just fancied a moan really, tho i am finding it a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 well, there's not a lot to go on there, but I'd suggest that you might benefit from some good old fashioned exercise, even if it's only a really brisk walk - though swimming, martial arts or aerobics are probably better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I find if I lay right on the very edge of my bed, I soon drop off. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stay away from caffine and sweet things after 9pm (ish) as they really get in the way of a good nights sleep!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I find due to the starfish i married i have no choice but to sleep right on the edge of the bed Give me a starfish over a windmill anyday. Seriously though, exercise, a warm bath before bed, a lavender spray in the bedroom, and visualisation exercises. Music works for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twibstix Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I can't sleep either, probably has something to do with being six months pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Could be the heat, get yourself a lower tog duvet. If you're waking up as early as 6am and still not getting to sleep at night after having had an active day, I'd go to the doc and get a script for sleeping pills.
