ok
i kinda have trouble sleeping
like when there is the slightest noise i wake up and can't sleep for at least 30 min
once i mistaked the clock for being 5 am so i shot up and took a shower
but it was actually 1 am and i slept at 11 pm that night sooo
usually i sleep at 11 pm and wake up at 5 am(i take looooooooooooooong showers)
soo is there any way for me to like sleep more peacefully
if u need to ask me something in order to help then feel FREE

[nobody knows]

I listen to music

put it on sleep [for 1.5 hours, just because I wanna] and it closes by itself so I save energy

[misz.perfect.]

Lately, I've been having the same problem. It's so hard falling back asleep once something or someone wakes me up. xD Yeah, I think music is a real good solution. But like calming music. =)

[s0y0un*]

um sleeping pills?? lol
not realli strong ones but yea
music doesnt realli help me
i kinda have a problem with sleeping too
i can NOT sleep with a clock ticking.
it becomes REALLI loud to my ears
even if im like dead tired ><

Hmm, I've never had this problem.. But try some warm milk before you go to bed?

[inexplicableromance]

I have this same problem. I can lie for hours and hourrsss until I fall asleep. My parents and friends tell me to drink warm milk before I go to bed, but I always end up forgetting. Sometimes I listen to music and I can fall sleep that way.. try that if you haven't already . And the important thing is to clear your mind. I have a bad, baaad habit before I go to bed. I think about EVERYTHING (and I'm sure others do this too), but yeah. The key is just to clear your mind and take slow, deep breaths.

The alternative is like Nyquil(sp?) or something x). That's what my friend does.

this happens to me all the time, I think I have gotten used to it. At least you wake up at 5, I wake up every day at 3 am. On an average night I get about 4 hours of sleep. Maybe if you go on pills, they'll help.

OhOh! I wasn't gonna post yet, buuut I usually can't sleep either. My mom had me take Melatonin pills, which are a 'natural sleep stimulant' and you can't end up dependant on them, according to my mother. They're peppermint flavored. ^0^

[donny fyasko]

Actually melatonin shouldn't be taken unless prescribed/told to do so by your family medical practitioner.
My parents are both doctors and they told me that a major side-effect of melatonin is fatigue. If you do take melatonin, take small dosage.

Anyways for trouble sleeping, I just use music. Yiruma music.

if you can't sleep, try drinking a warm cup of milk before going to bed.

well, they dont usually have pills that contain more than 3 mg of melatonin, but its true that u shouldn't take too much (.5 mg is most effective).

how's your lifestyle? do you exercise regularly? if you dont, i suggest some exercise, (yoga is nice and relaxing).

tip: dont go on your computer if you find yourself not able to sleep (lights mess up your circadium rhythms and the computer screen is a huge conductor of light).

Dude, I'm exactly the same! I'm a really light sleeper, and any sort of noise will wake me up as well.
I toss and turn most of the night, and switch side to side and im fully conscious of it. I can't even sleep
until it's around 2-3AM sometimes. I think I think too much while i'm trying to sleep. I keep on telling
myself to 'think of nothing', but then i'm like thinking.. 'wait a minute.. isn't thinking of nothing still thinking of
something' LOL. /sigh. Sorry for the unhelpful post.

I've had insomnia for a while, and I've managed to cure it. And during those times, I've done quite a bit of extensive research.

1. Maintain a healthy diet
2. During the period which you are attempting to cure insomnia, try not to take naps
3. 15/30 minute exercise in the morning, and do not exercise two hours before you sleep
4. MOST MOST and MOST important of all, maintain a regular sleeping cycle

Hmm, I don't think I left anything out. But yes, try to avoid tea & coffee for those periods you are attemtping to cure insomnia. It may be tough to cure it at first, but you may get the hang of it after you establish a regular sleeping cycle. I did turn to sleeping pills, when I would just lay there and couldn't sleep for hours.

well i used to have insomnia but it was due to depression and an incredible amounts of stress. so if its one of those 2 that ur having in ur life, you should def. try to look and reflect on ur life and how you can think more positive =D
